Greetings From Toronto, Canada! Flange Adapter To Run A Mitsu Big 16g On An Rb20det

[ronnie416]

Greetings!

I've registered on here as I've googled many tech questions and often, it directs me here.

North Americans tend to always just replace and buy off the shelf parts, you guys seem to do things right and have fun doing custom stuff.

I'm trying to run a Mitsubishi 16G on my RB20DET. I know the flanges for TD05's are very different to our T3 flanges.

Is there a premade flange adapter for this out there? I'm looking locally and DO NOT have access to a machine shop locally. Is there someone out here who has one made up already to use in their own car.

Thanks a lot!!

PS: I had the greatest time visiting Oz two years ago and am planning on another visit come February. I would love to meet some of you guys there and will be posting here more often!

Thanks!

Trust make a T3 flanged TD05 rear housing, so if you hunt around the Japanese auctions you may find the Trust equiv of the turbo or at least the exhaust housing

What do you guys think about this piece here?

Ronnie, You could post this in the fabrication section and see if anyone could fab you one from decent materials. That way you know what you're getting instead of buying something off ebay that may fail. Just a thought

the TD series use a 3 bolt triangle shape flange?

the ebay link you posted is for a T3 turbo to fit on a T2x flanged manifold

Since he is from North America he might be tring to run a EVO 3 Big 16G. IF that is the case then the eBay flange will work.

We did this type of stuff for a customer earlier this year.

We machine off the Mitsubishi flange and weld on a T3x flange then machine out the 4 bolt flange off the rear and weld on a OEM 6 bolt flange. Once that is done every thing bolt on with out modifications. Same thing can also be done to GT2860Rs which you turn that in to a HKS2530.

That's right! Thanks for the reply folks! I really appreciate it!

Okay, that's good to hear that it will work.

I wonder what I'm gonna do for the outlet side.

I'm thinking that I would use the standard DSM outlet and chop it at the flange and weld my stock flange to that to connect to to the DP?

Any other ideas?
