Full Race will be offering 4 bolt and 5 bolt flanges for t3 turbos to v band adpators. This means that if you want to take the downpipe off of your turbo you no longer have to fiddle with 4 or 5 rusty as hell really really weak studs that will break, seize, snap round etc. Just remove one nut from the v band clamp and you are free. The downpipes will be available for the kits, for an extra 150$ and the v band clamp adaptor kit is 160$. It seems steep, but its not. The prices are actually pretty low. We are now stocking 3" 304 stainless steel material ont he shelf as well as 3" stainless steel flexpipes for anyone interested in fabbing their own stuff up. now for pics.

Damn Geoff, that is such a great idea!!

HybridKOOP · 10-29-2002, 09:56 PM

Dude... you have some nice ideas/welding skills.

What state are you in? NJ right?

Full-Race Geoff · 10-29-2002, 09:57 PM

And these clamps don't leak, huh? It seems almost impossible that metal to metal, simply clamped, would hold airtight..

VBand

Full-Race Geoff · 10-29-2002, 10:05 PM

v bands dont leak man, every t series turbo ive ever seen runs a v band which is every race car ive seen as well as about 80% of the turbodiesel big rigs on the road. v bands are a very sold, proven design. Also vbands are used sometimes to hold the turbine in place. Dont forget the fact that the exhaust doesnt have the pressures in it that a manifold has, so the leaks are that much more rare. Ive also seen v bands hold on wastegates, turbos etc.

rjardy · 10-29-2002, 10:06 PM

so does that come with the ring that we wld to our existing downpipe allso?

Very interested.

Rob

Full-Race Geoff · 10-29-2002, 10:07 PM

yes it would be the flange with half the v band on it, and the other v band on the other side for welding to your downpipe. There will be a small section of 3" for welding. it will also come with the clamp.

rjardy · 10-29-2002, 10:10 PM

only available in 3''?

Rob

SilverLudeSi · 10-29-2002, 10:11 PM

Do you have these in stock right now and is there anyway you could get it to me by thursday or friday? Can this just be welded onto my existing mild steel dp?

Full-Race Geoff · 10-29-2002, 10:12 PM

only 3" and theyre not in stock right now. i just finished that one which was the first one and ill be making a ton of them within the next two weeks.

it can be welded to anything that is made of steel, mild, stainless or otherwise

avividmemory · 10-29-2002, 11:01 PM

so geoff, how much for a 3" down pipe with a turbonetics 5 bolt flange for a t4 or t3/t4? looking to purchase one shortly, but i would need one with a wastegate mount on the downpipe...my mani is like the vsracing style....but without the wastegate mount, which is actually on the downpipe...
thanks let me know and you'll have yourself an order

ninesecrx · 10-30-2002, 12:45 AM

Just to let everyone know whos never used the V-band style, it makes life super easy. I run it on my race car for the downpipe and comes in really handy when swaping stuff super fast track side. It has no leaking issues...and I even use the HKS GT wastegate which uses the v-band style clamp to connect the wastegate to manifold which would be even more of a problem if it leaked there then on the down pipe. Its well worth it for function and it plain out looks bad ass as well. If you didnt tell most people, they would probably think you had a t-4 exhaust too because thats the most common way those are connected.

Flamenco-T · 10-30-2002, 12:58 AM

damn, I want one now....good idea Geoff....

TurbodCX · 10-30-2002, 04:47 AM

92gs-r · 10-30-2002, 05:27 AM

damn man, remember when i was over your house and broke all but one of my bolts?

you are a genius. when can i get one?

SiRkid · 10-30-2002, 05:37 AM

Full-Race Geoff · 10-30-2002, 07:09 AM

Just to clarify, these downpipes are ONLY for the full-race manifolds. I do not make downpipes for drag manifold, Vs/TRR, revhard/inlinepro etc.

you are own your own for those! Please do not ask for any of these downpipes. Thanks!
