Waste Gate Welding To Ex Housing

[luvpsi]

hey guys does anyone know someone in perth who can weld a wastegate to the ex housing of a turbo. i either want one welded to the ex housing or to the stock manifold

Try Kermit

2nd, but it also depends on the material. ie:cast or stainless.

[luvpsi]

Well an exhaust housing is not going to be stainless and it's stock cast manifold

[Boss-zilla]

give him a call but i dont think he can/will weld cast items.

what are you trying to acheive?

[luvpsi]

Well I'm looking into a td06sl2-20g and want to run standard manifold with ex gate so either I want gate on manifold or exhaust housing I'm just doing my research and finding out who and where it can be done in perth

[Boss-zilla]

Cool, give him a bell if he cant/doent want to he should know someone who will.

I saw a thread on nicco club I might give that to my mate who does custom fab he might be able to do it

[JonnoHR31]

i doubt kermit has the equipment to weld cast.

tried places like harris engines?

What about drilling a hold in the manifold machining a flat surface. tapping 2 holes and use the bolt on flange for the wastegate. no welding required.

[luvpsi]

could do but id rather not have the risk of it leaking. i rather weld it on so that way its completly sealed. ill have a talk to my mate who is a custom fabricator he may be able to do it for it me

[Crans]

Machined properly with a gasket bolted on properly I doubt it would leak

I had welded the stock Exhaust manifold on My Racecar and have done it to quite a few others before so Id say any reasonable welder could do it for you.

Best to get the Manifold very hot then weld it and wrap it in a heat blanket to cool very slowly.

president of chosen few had ex gate on his r33 stock manifold i forget his username on here

[luvpsi]

all good i found someone that can do it for me has a kiln and all

[luvpsi]

where would be the best place on the stock manifold to put it ive seen one with it above the turbo flange
