I've got a waterjet company cutting me a flange so I can fabricate an exhuast manifold for the turbo setup on my 3B. As we speak they are still running the measurements into the program, so they have not started cutting the actual product. I figured that this would be a good time to gauge interest on whether I should be getting one flange cut for just myself, or make a run of several and sell to the Cruiser community. I know that the only options for turbo manifolds for our 3B engines would be Toyota and the manifolds that come complete in a turbo kits (Turbo-Glide etc.). The other benefit of fabricating your own manifold, you can run any flanged turbo you desire without having to purchase a pricey adapter for your overpriced Toyota manifold. I myself am running a Garret t3 flange turbo from a Mercedes 300td.
I have not recived a set price quite yet, I'll be hearing from him early next week on pricing for one and four flanges. As of now one flange will be about $70 for myself, but you need to realize that most of the labor cutting one flange is running the program, from there prices drop fairly quick for every additional flange. These flanges will end up getting cut within the next two weeks, so if anyone has serious interest let me know. The design is based from a Toyota exhaust manifold gasket, cut into 1/2 inch mild steel.
Once the flanges are cut and received I would be dealing with payment and shipping myself. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. PayPal would be preferred.
Thanks
Spencer
