Re: Project: SS-Auto Budget GSR
hows the ss turbo working out for you?? you said you've been running one for a while??
oh and a few questions...
1. what is that napa hose rated to pressure wise?? a good alternative to normal couplers?
2. what kind of rod did you use to weld the v-band flange to that exhaust housing?? arent those housings cast iron?
3. what did you use to flare that pipe out with on the press?

Re: Project: SS-Auto Budget GSR
Yes I have, and its been running just fine.
1. I have no idea, but its 2ply, and I've used it on setups with around 20psi and has held just fine.
2. Just stainless rod, the housing is cast steal.
3. a brake lathe cone, just one that fit inside the pipe, then pressed it out. worked good.

when you have it in the press have you had any problems with the other end crimping or crushing or do you not care and just cut that part off or only do this on short sections of pipe to get the reducer??I'm assuming the latter but still curious.

Some of you are the same ******** that gave me ---- in this thread:
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=38484.0
15k miles on it and zero issues before I sold the car. Hmmmmm......
Oh and I scored another one on ebay for $80 brand new that will be going into my Miata.
