M20 Adaptor plate for 524td manifold?

[Erik j]

Just a quick note to make. The lower bolts on the m21 manifold are very very close to the block. I looked into something like this when I got my manifold. Make sure you put that head on a block for a test run like that to make sure you done have any problems there.

Awsome point, A point not wasted on me..!
I noticed this whan I first looked into "notching" my manifold
hence the shape of the laser cut flange. I wanted the smallest foot print
possable. plus you have to add the width of the exhaust gasket pushing the flange from the head..




If anybody happens to see anything I may have missed please chime in..
I appreciate any and all feedback...

Feel free to send me a set for test fitment. i have an m20 on a stand and an m21 manifold on my shelf.

[MonkeyMadness]

Ya anybody else.... lol

[whodwho]

I have a block on an engine stand if you to check/verify fitment ;)

Ok Update...

So went back and changed a bit..
Cut out a flange in 7ga just for mochup..
Counter sunk the lower hole, tapped the td hole
threaded in the stock stud.. Mounted to head.. and slid on the 524td
manifold, and it fit perfact...
I was sooo happy....

Again this is only a mochup part it is not
the final product, it is only 7ga.








This is the mochup part bolted to the head

Ok just to let everone know I used cylinder number 3 for mock up due to the fact #3 on the 524td manifold is the only bottom hole that's 8mm.
So I used it as my target hole.

Again this is only a mochup part it is not
the final product, it is only 7ga.

So as you can see it fit perfact..
SO like a giddy school girl before prom night
I jumped on the next set..

Again this is only a mochup part it is not
the final product, it is only 7ga.





So I cut this next set out of 5/16"
Then ran out of time in the day soo I'll finish this
set on monday and properly mount and bolt all 6 adaptors with
the Turbo manifold up...

Nice. So when do i get my set again? Seriously, how much?

[whodwho]

Those look really nice, amazing what the right tools can make. A hack saw and a dremel ain't going to make a part like that! :)

Well I have a question for people who my want to run this and I'll get into that in a little bit

don't I know it...

Ok so I'm thinking of building 10set for board members
But I trying to keep it a cheap as possible.
So I'm thinking of offering two options

~First one will be the 6 adaptors with 6 lower flush mount bolts, and td hole taped. (this Option will use the stock lower stud threaded into the adaptor. Locktite will be suggested) $60 +shipping ????

~Second option will be same as the first but, with a new stud that will be threaded in and tig welded. $80 +shipping ????




Let me know what you guys think.....?

Edit due to me be big ass...

[whodwho]

I was thinking the other product that you could offer since it is right along these lines is a flange used for a template for port matching the intake manifold to the intake ports.

[MonkeyMadness]

Umm...


was not aware of a big need for that..

Update:
Kits being built anybody want a set?
Sound off ... :nice:
