i paid the guy $100 for a 14cm non-wastegated 3" vband it had a 12cm internal wg

 

that's the stock fitting. it looks like a reverse flare type. It unscrews and there is another thread you can use. If you look at my build thread I lost that little fitting so I had no easy way of finding what thread the turbo was. So i tapped two holes on that flange, and drilled two matching holes in a scrap piece of aluminum, then I tapped that 1/8 npt and bolted it on with a touch of sealant. If I ever want to go back to the stock style, there is nothing preventing me from doing so.(I found my fitting too)

The feed is bpt (british pipe thread)...What size who knows I never got around to using my hx40 on my hatch before I sold it.

 

why did you do that ? isnt the 12cm housing like .89 a/r and the 14cm .97 a/r ?


this is what i found on one of the sites;
6 cm2 = 0.41 A/R
7 cm2 = 0.49 A/R
8 cm2 = 0.57 A/R
9 cm2 = 0.65 A/R
10 cm2 = 0.73 A/R
11 cm2 = 0.81 A/R
12 cm2 = 0.89 A/R
14 cm2 = 0.97 A/R
15 cm2 = 1.05 A/R
16 cm2 = 1.13 A/R
17 cm2 = 1.29 A/R
19 cm2 = 1.37 A/R

 

why not? its for a 2.8L I6

 

ah i see. i was thinking dinky 1.6-1.8L. :P

 

na its 12x1.5 metric. u can use Autometer 2277 Gauge Adapter to convert it to npt

and cheapo ebay t3 drain flange fits perfect

 

what have people used to connect charge pipes to the v band compressor outlet on holsets? grind it off? weld vband flange to charge pipe? i was going to try and find a stock piece from a cummins but havent found anything

 

Grind most of it off but still leve a lip and use a coupler
