Hey guys like many of the NA guys on here ive considered replacing the stock exhust manifold with aftermarket extractors.

but, at 500 a pop this seems a bit excessive. with rb30 extractors being cheap and plentyfull i was wondering if i could use the standard flange off my 25de manifold and have it welded on to the rb30 extractors so the would fit the head?

possible yes, practical no

trying to cut and weld the cast iron flange would be a mega pain in the butt.

you can buy flange plates form 6-boost/etm/any other manifold fabricator, but iirc the RB30 one wont line up with the 25 ports, so will have to be heated and bent to line up etc.

more trouble than it is worth imo.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
