unfortunatley not Andrew lol

that really needs to be laser cut, then CNC milled from the look of it - though im tempted to get the file for the 1uz to T56 file and see what their machining options are, i do have contacts for all this stuff now.

even if the laser cutters did the main work then etched the surface for the milling part you could spend some time doing it manually on a mill.

The turbo has bolts atm, would like to keep that if possible....as for the dimensions to the outside...it doesn't really matter, but I would like the center hole for the pipe to suit 3" mild steel pipe rather than 81mm

Chris, go to 10mm plate is what i've been advised by all the exhaust guys.

They see warping issues after use with 5/6mm stuff.

As for gearbox adapters, why the T56? It's a clunky as f**k gearbox. If I could have easily, I would have avoided using it altogether with my LS1 and stuck with the 5Speed.

If you've got a Toyota engine, get the V160 Box.

just did some measuring on matt's old dump pipe (same flange) it is 12mm from the centre hole to the edge and 10mm bolt holes.

Did notice though that his piping is 76mm OD...so not sure what to do there as I think 81mm will be too loose?

V160 = $4500-5000 2nd hand

T56 $1500 2nd hand

If I ever feel rich...would you be able to do one of these?

i bought the 1uz one yesterday - turns out its 3 pieces for the 1uz and they recommend steel - so i'll be cutting it out next week :P

lucky we have some 12mm plate lying around :D

yeah exactly

hardest part is going to be welding the pieces together without the 12mm plate warping - might have to bolt it up to the bell housing and weld it bolted up and low heat as its under compression so doesnt have to be a strong weld.

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
