T25 flange Or Other "Universal" Flange?

[Cheef]

Looking for a flange to mate to my CG's mani. Does anyone sell/make/have any T25 flanges for a small fee?

 

[Alienfish360]

plenty available on EBay for around £15

 

[Cheef]

Have searched the bay, only my search strings are like "CG10 DE Manifold" etc..Will have another gander now.

just type "t25 flange" in on ebayfwn

 

[frank]

he probably means a custom "bolt on" flange, like this one

Frank that looks like a downpipe flange?!?

Reet...I got this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TURBO-EXHAUST...s_SM?hash=item335603f2d6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 (Y)

 

[micras69]

thats the one! although i payed £14 for mine inc p&p so if you get that u'll have it £2 cheeper than mine eeeesh lol

but a question...this is to fit a turbo yea?

 

[Cheef]

Chamone, Course it is. Why'd ya ask?

 

[Ed]

Its actually a T2 turbine flange you need.

 

[Cheef]

Ah thanks. My question on this matter now is. What power setting do I need to weld these flanges to the CG manifolds? On my MIG there's a knob numbered from 1 to 11. (Spinal Tap )

Which would I need as to get a nice clean seam and not burn through anything?

Its actually a T2 turbine flange you need.

is there a diffrance ed? mine fits to the turbo?

 

[micras69]

cheef cheef cheef, dont bodge it mate! do it right and as you are on about a getto manifold am i right in thinking you arnt going to bother with the right management lol

 

[Ed]

is there a diffrance ed? mine fits to the turbo?

No they are the same its just its a T2 not a T25 It may be sold as both i guess.

Cheef, you need to use as much power as you need to get a decent weld. When I did mine it was almost on full power welding a 12mm steel plate to a cast manifold.

 

[micras69]

ah right feeeew had me in a cufful there ED :blush:

wouldnt an arc/stick weld be best for the cast manifold?

also cheef where you planing mounting the turbo then?

 

[Ed]

Mine worked just fine with a MIG welder it was a 'proper' one however and really did have the power and feed up very high.

 

[jowley]

get a spare bit of manifold and a pisce of material the same as the flange and have a play to find out what settings are the best

 

[Cheef]

cheef cheef cheef, dont bodge it mate! do it right and as you are on about a getto manifold am i right in thinking you arnt going to bother with the right management lol

I know what your saying. But the management will be looking after 5psi of pressure via a vortech FMU. That's of course if I can get a manifold made up with my two's.

Cheef, you need to use as much power as you need to get a decent weld. When I did mine it was almost on full power welding a 12mm steel plate to a cast manifold.

Perfect answer Ed thanks.

also cheef where you planing mounting the turbo then?

I would mount it in the open side of the front panel. Left of the radiator as it seems to almost be made for summat stupid to go there.

 

[micras69]

i dont think, without a lot of work you will get the turbo to sit in that space useing the OE manifold! its going to restrict a lot of flow and reduce power! my manifold cost pennys! and its full 316 stainless

 

[Cheef]

True. I originally wanted to mate the flange to the collector of the manifold. Will have to see what's what when I offer up my Holset to the engine bay.
