Wayne or anybody for that matter,
Why is it a bad idea to cut the flange on an exhaust manifold and change it with a turbo pattern flange? i ask because i'm trying to put together a turbo for my 2h (axt prices and the American dollar are not compatible right now!!)

We were discussing this last night with respect to a 1HZ situation. I think it would be really hard (for me anyway) to get cold rolled steel to stick to the cast. There is a lot of vibration and heat cycling on that joint and I just haven't seen folks have a lot of luck joing these two materials.
I wonder if it would help to cyro treat the manifold after the welding?

From what I understand it's not the big a deal for a good welder to weld cast. I believe you need to pre heat the item and then use a high nickel rod/wire then let cool slowly in sand. There are some slightly different methods but I don't think it's all that difficult or more prone to cracking if it's done by someone that does it often. I certainly could put a nice booger weld on it that wouldn't hold up 
My turbo guy was going to do it to my 3b manifold.

No booger welds for this guy. I'm gonna purchase the plate that crushers has made and use that. I like the idea of the additional offset from the head for more room.

final computations
so the results are in and the fuel milage for 218.34 miles of traveling at an average fo 65 mph with extensive hills and head winds was an impressive 16.3 US mpg. (Can 23.2 mpg)(6.7 l/100). i know that someone with a light foot and with out the head wind would average very close to 30 Can. mpg. the truck performed great, there was never a feeling i needed more power.
this part of the test is over., if anyone wants more info feel free to ask and i will try and help where i can.
cheers,

You need a new calculator. *none* of those numbers match. i.e 16.3 MP(us)G is not equal to 23.2 MP(imp)G or 6.7l/100km. It is close to 6.7km/l though but nobody really uses that measurement
How much fuel and how much distance?
Plus you have to figure 35's and gearing. so the speedo or odo is off a tad.
In Oz and UK it is quite common to report fuel usage in liters/100km. I know that it seems strange to us here in the States; however, it IS a common way to report fuel usage.

Yes, l/100km is pretty common in Canada these days too. km/l however is not the same and rarely used.

Hi everybody!
Crushers, sorry, i don't know much as it from a fellow toyyer on the french toyota forum. The first prob was that he had a low compression, around 22 bars for every cylinder. The head gasket was fine. he says that his turbo might have been blowing a tad hard, and also that his injectors were may be a tad old!
Best regards.
