Hi all,
just got an answer from the only company around here that can laser cut flanges to my specs.
Will order a set of 10 WG outlet pipe + 10 turbine exhaust flanges (RS2-S2 specs, out of SS #304) on monday. That's a pretty big number of pieces I know
, but there was no convenience in making lass then that (would spend practically the same for making 2 or 3 pieces). For keeping costs low I cannot ask them to do the job in a hurry so I actually don't exactly know how long it will take.
Same for the SS tubing, apart from the fact I can have them + bends in 7-10 days.
As soon as I have al the material I'll start building the first one.
My plan is to have the outlet turbine size (58mm) diverge to the final tubing size (3" external = 72.1 mm internal, while RS2 has 66mm and S2 60mm) with a short conical diffuser that will also collect the WG duct, to maximize flow.
Of course I'll need first to build one to have some definitve numbers. Then if I'll like the final job I'll test fit to the "mannequin" S2 I have to make sure all clearances between pipe and engine, gearbox, chassis, left axel-arm aluminum shield will be right. Then I'll take some pictures and might be able to offer some of them to those of you who might be interested. My effort will be on keeping the costs in the 210-220 euros each, if a resonable number of pieces would be required.
There could also be the possibility of making different section downpipes for different output needs, but also different downpipe layouts for dufferent turbine and/or manifold and/or WG setups. But this might eventually be evalueted afterwards.
If you let me know your thoughts about this I will appreciate.
By the way, has anybody noticed downpipe clearances problems or appreciable differences while swapping from S2 header and k24 turbine to RS2 ones?

Actually i guess we`ve made that piece.
