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!

Ronnie from Toronto

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 :sick:

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?

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
