I used to have a T28 with a log style manifold on my car and now I have a GT32 turbo and was planning on doing the B16 manifold with a JGS Tools flange . So I take my parts back to the shop that WAS going to do it and they say that they can't do it.
Because the holes on the flange are too small for the piping, so I had a machine shop here drill them out to 10 thousandths larger than the diameter of the piping- so I thought that I had the problem fixed. Then I take it back to the shop and they say that they still can't do it because the holes don't line up. The two middle holes line up reasonably BUT- the outer two don't line up very well especially the #1 exhaust port & runner is like 7/16" off of center, and #4 is about 1/4" from being centered with the flange. They said that it is very hard to bend in the stainless steel piping and there might be a chance that they may ruin my manifold and not be able to do it. Is this true? , has anyone done this and had this much trouble? I sold my old manifold and my car hasn't been running for the last 3 months and this is the only part holding me back right now. The manifold that I have is the SSAUTOCHROME for the b16/b18 with the 38mm external wastegate flange and the flange is the JGS Tools for the 7AFE. anyone who has done this please help!
