Thanks bros.
Jig means I will be making a few more of them. Going to set something up to go into production on some EFR turbos. #efrturbokit |
Finished manifold and down pipe with wastegate recirculation pictures.

Custom flanges for some kits Im building.

how about an o2 housing with a wastegate dump for the mazdaspeed OEM turbo setup ????
|
We'll see how long the studs last on this with the hole fit so close. You can get away with that closeness on one maybe 2 studs right next to each other but I have a feel its going to destroy the outermost ones when it heats up.

This allows a good fit without being sloppy like the 14mm holes on some other flanges. |

If you want one, I will need a stock part to jig to build you a one off elbow. I am jigging EFR turbo manifolds to offer as a kit, for both 1.6 and 1.8... but I don't want to get into details until the time when Im a paid advertiser (which I have been in discussions with Jason A IB about. Im just developing and perfecting the parts and designing a website first) |

It is the same as the stock header. The flanges you buy from say turboflanges.com or similar have excessive hole sizes... the bolt is 9mm od, the flanges give are 11.5mm id.

The flange isn't going to grow that much.
The head and turbo flanges don't get to EGT temps, the head flange especially. its bolted to the engine that is heat controlled. Thanks for the concern, but real life works better than textbooks. The slightly tighter bolt holes keep you from needing to pin the flange to keep proper port alignment and give subsequently better performance. |

How dare you talk like that to Leafy!?! He's the expert on almost everything, what the eff do you know anyway? |
I would hardly consider Maximum Boost a text book (source for reason stainless flanges have big holes and will shear off bolts if the holes are too tight).
|
Let's see... It's a book... of text...

Leafy, bro.
They aren't that tight, but they are tighter than others avaliable from people who don't actually own a miata, but drew a flange based off of a gasket. 😊 |

I managed to get a good start on the 1.6 B6 EFR manifold today.

The flanges are also threaded for people who want to upgrade to the Trackspeed Inconel stud. |
Looks great.
Will this clear a LHD steering column though |
undoubtedly!
I have mocked up an oversized piece of square stock ( you can see it in the first picture) to the location of a LHD steering rack. There is 3 or 4 inches of clearance. I didn't measure exact clearance because its really not a constricting area. the turbo sits a little higher compared to something like an absurdflow manifold to allow for easier oil drain back. This gives you a bit more steering clearance. The only tight part of this setup is the IWG actuator to the frame rail, on both RHD and LHD cars. |
I made my flange holes close. Fit on my mockup weld fixture '99 head, my '94 head, but not Lars' head.
