JX exhaust on AFN turbo

Post by Oren Kipnis »

I found a complete new late model stainless steel JX exhaust for an excellent price, and would like to fit it to my AFN Syncro.

Any one has any idea about an appropriate adapter ? I prefer not to cut and weld the new exhaust pipe.

TIA,

Oren

Tim Shettle at Ultimate engineering sells adaptors that i am using on my AFN conversion. I am using jx exhaust manifold(via adaptor) to VNT turbo and standard late jx exhaust(via adaptor). works really well.

Been in touch with Tim Shettle, and have all the information regarding his adapters.
Diving into the exact turbo fitted during the conversion many years ago, the turbo in my Syncro comes from a PD (Pump Injector) motor and is integrated with the exhaust manifold. On one hand there are no readily available adapters, and on there other there is plenty of room to fabricate one out of 2 flanges and a piece of solid pipe.
