I just tried to open the files and got the announcement that they are expired :-(

Any possibility of sharing them again,I want to put a turbo on my BJ43 and prefer this to flipping a 3B manifold on it.

Thanks

Oh, s***, yeah I dropped the cruiseruser.com domain a week or two ago.

Gimme a few minutes, I'll move them to a new server.
 
Thanks Amaurer

Downloading AutoCAD now so I can get started on this.

Thanks Drew. Used your files for the base plate on a few manifolds I welded up recently.

WOW! That is one haggered looking manifold. Im sure it works though. I like the log design in the previous pictures. Way simpler and clean looking too.
 
Yeah. Since these are for my testing purposes so I just quickly MIG welded them. If I wanted them to look good I would TIG them. These are quick and easy to make for testing different turbos. I can do 3 of them in about 2 hours from the pieces parts.

Did you get much warping from the weld heat?
 
Seems warping wasn't a problem. I didn't put a precision straight edge across them to know how much they might be off. They sit flat on my table. The one I installed bolted up flat as well. The exhaust flange is 1/2" thick and everything else is 1/4" steel all tacked into place before welding it up.

I have 4 3B engines and want to test a few different turbos developing some software. Drew's files made it easy to use square tubing for my prototyping needs.
 
I downloaded one of the files (thanks amaurer) and sent it to a local lazer cutting place, although they say the scale is out and the overall length of the drawing is only 16mm. does anyone know what scale adjustment is needed?

I could be wrong but you may need to change the units used in the drawing as I believe the drawing was done in inches
 
thanks, this sounds about right as the overall length is 16mm when it should be about 400mm which is 16 inches.
 
There is a local mob here in Australind, Laser cutting technology. They quoted $60 for the flange in 10mm mild steel
 
Sorry to bring this post back alive. Looks like the links are not working anymore :(

PM me an email address. I have the first dxf file. If you have autocad you can create the 2nd profile yourself because it is the ports and bolt holes that you can't measure.
