V-Band Flanges for Tial housing
#1

One of my friends has a GT2871R with tial V-band housing on the way.
Can one of you guys that have one of these let me know what size v-bands the inlet and outlet is?
Also, are all v-band flanges the same? In other words, will a 3" v-band flange from company X ti with a v-band flange from company y?

Turbo Timmy used TiAL v-bands on my dp of course and I used v-band flanges from silicone intakes on the rest of the exhaust. All are sealed, but the TiAL flanges take a little more care to get lined-up, but fit right every time. Make sure you send the right flange of course, I believe the turbo is female on the inlet and the outlet.

The last 4 manifolds we built used that size. The inlet and outlet are the same size, but use different clamps and flanges. Those were for GT2860, GT2871, and GT30 turbos. I call Tial, tell them what I need, and they tell me what to order. I try to make it as dummy proof as possible.
When I order parts from TiAL, this is what I have to order:
VBF300M 3" Weld on Outlet Flange
VC355 3" Outlet Clamp
VC300 3" Inlet Clamp
GTVFL3.0 3" Weld On Inlet Flange
According to my price sheets, the GT28/30/35 turbos all use the above flanges and clamps. The GT42/45 turbos go up to a 4" clamp and flange.

turbine inlet and turbine outlet flanges are not the same. Not even close. Sorta like saying BEGI's 3" downpipe is 3". OHH DAYUMM BBUUURNNNZZZZZEZEZZZZZZ! hehehe just bustin ***** steph ![Makeout](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/makeout.gif)
Each corresponding pair of flanges are the same obviously, one having a male lip and the other a female counterbore. The female end of each flange is part of the turbine housing.
