    wagner tubular with v-band

    Carsten

    hope things are good.

    instead of writing direct i thought id post it here. if i need to write ditect let me know.

    can you do a tubular with a vband connection to the turbo?

    is there a big cost difference.

    many thanks

    Do any manufacturers even make V banded hotsides? Ive seen V bands on the exhaust/downpipe, but not for the turbine inlet.

          Really?


          Ahh yes, it would appear they do, thats a pretty cool option, easy removal installation. Nice.

                i use precision.

                most new oem is vband too.

                a manifold with no turbos would be oif no use to me lol

                its not about the removal its about the efficiency and lag reduction

                    Maybe give this guy a shout gaz

                    It's for my UrS4, I built it from scratch (aside for the collector which was cut on a 5axis laser, and the head flange which was cut on a waterjet). Head flange is 1018 mild steel, the rest is 1.50sch 10 304 stainless. It's somewhat "equal length" two runners are about .75-1.00inches shorter...

                      Excuse the ignorance here.......

                      What 'exactly' is V-Band? I'm guessing it's a type of fitting for turbos to avoid using jubilee clips on hoses???

                        its fitting type.

                        basically 2 circles that clamp together with a special clamp.

                        what it allows is a different design hotside. there are debates over its benifits. you will see the likes of motor manufacturers using vband turbos now.

                        the next turbo i will get will use this type of setup. suppose i could just have the wagner modded locally to suit.

                        hks turbos as mentinoed in an above post tend t obe mortgage specials. hks do some nice stuff but usually at a premium. ill be going with a precision turbo again...when i do it.

                          I'm going for a new GT2868 BB unit fitted with a 34mm restrictor.

                          It may seem small, but there's little point in going for a huge turbo when you are going to choke it anyway. I need low down torque for gravel stages.

                            thats fair.

                            the precision units seem to be very efficient from low down an d hold on well too.

                            i want more lower end and better low boost power but still to hold out. or m aybe a bigger unit with the same mid range as now but more up top... choices, choices eh

                              Not to let the cat out of the bag too early, but EFI Express will soon be offering a high quality 20vt tubular manifold with V-band turbine outlet, spiral collector, and tial 44mm wastegate flange. We expect to have them ready late February early March
