Cracked Exhaust Housing

[pecka]

I have a cracked exhaust housing on my 14b that I just got. It is right below the outlet on the outside. Is it possible to weld it up to seal it off?

If it's on the outside you are going to have to get another exhaust housing. All of them start cracking from inside.

so it cant be welded? It wouldnt be possible for it to crack from shipping it would it? The guy I bought it from says thats what happened, but I am calling BS.

You can weld it but it's not gonna last more than a month probably.
Only way it can crack by shipping is if they super-cooled it and threw it from second floor.

You may get somebody to fix it but it won't guarantee you it will hold or another crack will show up.

It's almost impossible to fix cast-iron stuff.
Check with mitsubishigraveyard if they could sell you a nice exhaust housing.

before I go and look for a new exhaust housing I am going to see if I can get my money back from this ass, he told me there were no cracks

 

[SkyLineGtR-R34]

Good idea.
Can you post some pix of the crack?

 

[pecka]

I will get some pics tonight when I am at home, I am very pissed now

I thought you asked about the exhaust side of your 14b. Why is everyone talking about exhaust manifolds? Anyways I wouldn't weld the 14b. You could get a blown 16g, and replace it with the housing off of that. They're even sold new at forced performance for example. If the crack isn't THAT bad. I'd use it as is.

For your information. I also recieved a 14b with a horrible exhause side. Cracks all over the flapper. My car didn't spool 15psi until 6k+

Yes, I am talking about the exhaust side of the 14b, and I got the turbo somewhat local, so I should be able to get my money back

Who said anything about maifold?
I agree with you about getting a blown 16g and using the housing from it.

 

[pecka]

so that is a 7cm housing then right?
