Chewievette Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I need a pair of flanges cut for a project I'm working on but I dont have the patience to do it on my drill press. Would anyone on here be able to cut them for me? I cant find anyone who already makes them since its a mopar T3 rather than a standard.

OlderThanMe Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Do you have a 2d cad drawing of it? I could get some plasma cut out from a plasma table...then you drill your 4 holes and smooth out the cut marks (a little work with a file). Someone may have access to a waterjet or laser table which would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'm still working on a good cad file for them. If someone could supply one, that would be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 If you want to email me some dimensions I will draw it up for you. My email is mllave@gmail.com I can also get a quote for laser but on 1 or 2 pieces it wont be cheap. I would just cut them by hand with a grinder and a drill. It is slow but you can get good results if you take your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 I can draw you up a .dwg file if that format is acceptable. I can do the clean up no problem, I just dont like drilling all the holes to rough in the part, takes forever. If someone could get the rough shape cut for me I can take care of the rest.

Cody 82 ZXT Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 If you have a drill press it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Just get the right hole saw and go for it. I'm not saying it's a 5 minuite job but, it's not that hard is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 It is when your drill press is a 1/3hp bench top. It took me three days to cut an aluminum intake spacer. Granted it had a couple more holes, but it still took forever. Besides I have a ton of work to get done, having someone else do the rough cut will free me up to get other stuff done.

Chewievette Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 If your going to use a cnc wouldn't a cad file speed things up a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostmonkey Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Not if its just a T3 type flange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 i took a bench top drill press and 2.5" hole bit and drilled through the plate, then used the gasket over the hole to get my stud holes. took about 30 min all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myplasticegg Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 you can pick up the flanges... www.turbododge.com www.turbo-mopar.com www.turbosunleashed.com www.fwdperformance.com they're there... Stay away from the mitsu turbos, they're junk out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Well that takes care of the inlet flange, now I just have to worry about the outlet. But I suppose I can use the stock swing valve wastegate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
