project has begun... ETA: beginning of spring.

here are a couple teaser pics of tonight, with a test fit. Looks like were gonna cut the manifold and angle it up a little to use up some of the excess space. But looks like its all gonna come together as planned!

yup yup

...

You should have just gotten an air compressor and use the turbo as a motor https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

What da hell is that turbo from??? It's bigger than your friggin head!

glad to see youre still rocking that misspelled tshirt.



kevin.

is that the manifold also from 13BAce

Yeah, what turbo is that?

hahaha is that gonna fit!?

thanks, had to get some use out of it :(



as for the turbo, its the same as a turbonetics t76



yeah thats the manifold. It looks like im gonna modify it a little for better fitment. It will fit like that, but its a TIGHT squeeze (have to hammer some metal!) ... so i'll just angle it more.

How do you plan on spooling that? Gonna need a bp or some nitrous for that sucker...

i'll spool it, dont you worry https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

That's a serious looking powerhouse you've got there.

"Keep up the good work will ya" CHEERS!

I think you need a bigger turbo

So you plan on running like 30psi?

not 30... maybe 20-25

I wouldnt cut that manifold.



I would notch the frame out before I cut that manifold, did you look

closely at the welds on the inside of that thing? It would be much

easier to notch the frame out, cut a section out then flip that piece

upside down then weld it back in.



Again I say I would not to modify that manifold!

no? Im thinking something like this ... i will pm you with more info.

the welds inside are beefy and nice, but it looks like i can cut the flang off, grind the manifold to a angle, then weld it back on. Dont think it would work?

I think you need to take a good look at that manifold

and you would realize that what you are thinking of doing

is easier said then done.



It would be much easier to notch out the frame instead, done the

right way it wouldnt sacrifice any strength at all.

didnt Jim tell you how much that manifold cost to make?

its a shame there was some mis-communication, but we took

that to another welder and he also thought it was a shame to cut

it up, trust me and notch the frame.



You cut down and then across, take the piece out, then flip it

upside down and weld it back on.

Nice hair dryer.So gonna change your sig to a T76 2 rotor FC now? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Not bad...





...I've seen bigger https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png



I am gonna have fun mounting my new turbo too...nice to see another FC guy thinkin out of the box per say when it comes to turbos..none of this 60-1, T3 ****..lol





Oh, and no offense to those of u running those turbos https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

redoing manifold may *SEEM* easier but it isn't



listen to rob

good god, where are the admins when you need one.

I deleted several post that had nothing to do with the subject at hand.

why dont you get your car running on a stock turbo first, lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



sidewinder- I know it seems much easier to bring the manifold to a welder

and have him hack it up, but push pull or tow your car to a welder and

the end result will be much more worth it. That manifold was fabricated

by one of the top header fabricators in the country.

Im going to take your advice rob. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I'll knotch the frame rail https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
