how much for a 3" exhaust for turbo

Post by Duff »

can you just whack a 3" exhaust on the back of your turbo or do you need to widen the flange at the back of the turbo before you put the exhaust on. i was quoted $700, to widen the back of the turbo flange and a 3" ehaust. is that a good price or keep looking. BTW its for a diesel patrol swb

on 60s it needs to be widened to 3 inch from 2.5/2.25 but can be done simply if you just and paste a little bit. dump pipe to back of car can be 150 for a press bent 3 inch to nearly 2G for a mandrel bent taipan system.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

I made my own with some pipe, a mandrel donut, a bit of flexi truck exhaust pipe and a straight through muffler.
All up cost about two hundred bucks and a bit of time on the angle grinder and MIG.
It was a bit tricky fitting a 3" past all the IFS crap under the Lux.
I took to my orig dump pipe with the angle grinder and die grinder and made it 3" right from the flange.

I paid $500 for mine on a 110.

Def90 paid $350 for his on his 90.

So the price should sit somewhere there.

Hey i'm in Noosa and i'm getting a T4 turbo put onto to TB42 my SWB mav where would be the best place to get a 3" zaust made up? I was thinking just press bend but if mandrel is around a the $400 mark i'll be going that way :D

i was heading towards noosa exhaust but if there is someone cheaper let me know

Cheers

Rick. :D

Go see Sandy at aus4wd.

I'm sure he'll do it and will be cheaper and at the same time up the boost and fuel for not much more...

I dont know if the dumpipe makes a difference or not, but I made a new one anyway... At the end of the day the whole 3" system DID make a difference.

Mandrel or press-bent??? Got quoted $380 for a press-bent 3" for my 110.

everyone says not to bother with a press bent because its more restrictive, especially on a turbo diesel.

go with the mandrell

ive been in/driven cars with press bent and mandrel..... wow what a shock you cant feel the differance. both landcruiser 2H aftermarket turbos running 12 pound. even the noise was the same. 2.75 inch is still plenty of flow for a 4L turbo.

Thats because 2h's run out of breath after 3000rpm. They could flow that amount of exhaust through a Macca's straw. Just kidding.

If you have got the cash, go for the mandrel system. More scope for improvement down the track.
If you want a spare 60 for bits-
