Turbone Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well, I noticed a lack of boost the other day and when I rolled my window down I could hear that popopop of a exhaust leak. When I got home and inspected the header I could see where it was leaking around the passenger head flange. I assumed it was a cracked flange. Well, it was close :-\ Does anyone have a modded up pipe laying around? Seeing how its off, I would love to up grade. If not, I'll just weld it and carry-on until I can find/afford a TWE.

bheinen74 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 due to freeze cold temps, then hot car temps, then cooling then hot again perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 due to freeze cold temps, then hot car temps, then cooling then hot again perhaps? Nope, due to the turbo not being braced. I have a TD04 turbo and when I had the flange welded on I wasnt able to get the brace re-attached. This time I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Lot of vibration if the brace is not on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyko Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have a non-modded one lying around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Excuse me, Could I Ask from Which Subie Model came that Exhaust? is that a Modded Engine Out without the "Y"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Excuse me, Could I Ask from Which Subie Model came that Exhaust? is that a Modded Engine Out without the "Y"? Thats a standard cross over pipe for a EA82T. Its off my 89 RX. Except that it has a TD04 flange welded to it. I appreciate all the offers for another one. But c'mon gang, you should know me better than that by now. How many of these engines have been in my possession in the last several years? I just was hoping that someone might have a nice mandrel bent or TWE one laying around that they might want to part with :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought had crossed my mind that you might just have 74 of them, but can you really blame me for wanting to get rid of another clutterous piece of crap? :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should get it installed sometime this week, when the rain lets off a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 How much different is the VF7 flange compared to the TD04? I was under the impression they were the same..... at least my TD05 is the same as my VF11 on my legacy. You have any spare stock turbo's Rob?

GD The stud furthest away from the turbine inlet on the VF-11 and TD series turbos is set further back where as the earlier ones are the same, except that one stud is closer to the inlet. Rob, I feel the pain on the manifold. I had one start coming apart on a trip to Whistler, B.C. a few years back. By the time I got home, I had almost no power. Glad I lightened my passenger load in Bellingham, otherwise I might have overheated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
