I talked to an engine builder and he said it could be done but it won't last and may even produce new cracks quicker. My turbos are in excellent shape, so I don't want to buy a new set. Too bad Inconel is way too expensive. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png
Can the manifold be purchased seperately? ...does anyone have a part #? Has anyone had their OEM or cast iron manifold welded? ...please post experience if "yes". __________________ M'Trix (S-Port + Oil & Wtr mod's), Superchips ECU, HKS DP, Border Racing Burnout Exhaust & HF Cat', Manual boost controler, Greddy SMIC & Pulleys, Blitz intakes, Fluidyne Rad', silicone hoses, Vitek wires, 17" Volk Daytona Speed's, JIC Magic SF1's, M2 Toe & Trailing.

OK, after some knudging https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683431.gif I got the OEM '93-'96 part # N3A1-13-450A and it can be purchased from Racing Beat and/or Mazdatrix. Can anyone "please" share the part # for the '99+ JDM 280PS version? ...anybody ...anyone? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/evildeal.gif

what are you considering manifold? n3a1-13-450a is the part bolted to the motor by the 4 studs on the rotor housing. n3a7-13-450c is the 95-02 number
|
Err, uhm, huh? The turbos are bolted on to a turbo manifold which is then bolted on to an exhaust manfold which is then bolted on to the short block. So the turbo manifold would be the entire twin turbo unit without the turbos mounted to them (and diaphrams). Sorry, no pictures. Can you verify that part # n3a7-13-450c is for the 280ps version? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
|
don't worry he knows his parts #'s. His knowledge of them is quite amazing actually!
|
Corksport can't verify that Type-R manifold part # with Mazda Motorsports. Can anyone verify that it's bored out larger then the stock version? ...it's special order only. JT-Imports, where are you?
|
If you choose to weld the cracks, arch weld them using nickel rod.
|
I'm going to purchase a new one instead of welding the old one. I just need to find it if it's worth buying the 280ps Type-R version or not (have to special order from Japan). I still can't get any confirmation on whether the tturbo manifold is bored out larger then the 265ps version. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

OK, spoke with Mazda Motorsports and was told the part #'s are the same on the Type-R and 250ps versions. Some Mazdaspeed stuff they can get and some they can't. All the stuff comes from Japan so he can't confirm there being a seperate US Mazdaspeed company. '99+ wing end peices are sold seperately, so if you want to purchase the Odula or Mazdaspeed carbon centers you can also only buy the ends. Oh, and we can no longer purchase race and Mazdaspeed stuff without a racing membership (used to be limited to stock)!

the part you can get is the the part that bolts to the motor,
http://vosko.net/photos/fd/oldturbos/turbo-2.jpg the manifold, the part you can get, is the other thing in the box, on the left. anything else is the turbo assembly |
That's the exhaust manifold (top/left in box) that's bolted to the short block, or at least that's what I call it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif
I need the turbo manifold (turbo assembly) that bolts to the turbos and not to the part that bolts "in between" the turbo assembly and the block. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png I sure as heck hope the top/left part isn't what I was quoted for $500 cause I don't even need or want that part! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif |
OK, this sucks asstronaughts!
I triple checked the part # before I dropped $600 on a special order and it's for the exhaust manifold and not the turbo manifold sandwhiched in between the twins in the turbo assembly. You have to buy the whole friggen turbo assembly unit! "WTF"! F*that! B*Ship, Ack, damn freekin single turbo time...turbo time!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...doublebird.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683431.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683454.gif |
