I know I am enjoying working on it. Whistler 09-30-2003, 12:05 PM Awesome job! How many hours do you figure you have invested so far? Guido 09-30-2003, 01:35 PM about 10 hours. Ive been keeping track. pugs97_30th_Z 09-30-2003, 02:34 PM Looks good. What all are you using equipment wise to do it? Guido 09-30-2003, 02:38 PM 14" Makita thin blade chop saw hand file side cuts bench grinder and wire wheel combination 110v wire welder (tack weld) 220v Miller TIG (finish weld) IDOXLR8 09-30-2003, 02:55 PM Looks good :) Birdie2000 09-30-2003, 03:16 PM Man, I know who I'm taking my car to if I ever need something like that! :bow: The Big Show 09-30-2003, 04:28 PM Dang I wish you were closer Guido! Looks pimp man... sleeperz28 10-01-2003, 10:42 PM Looks good! I enjoyed making my own headers. Im thinking of maybe doing a single setup this year for a buddies 4th gen. The mig doesnt look to bad as a finished product, but I wish I had a tig:o Pretty much eliminates any leaks caused by "stop and go" welding. I know I had a few I had to attend to :cool: Curt looks like you might have to take a few pieces off the header in order to get to those tough to reach spots? Did you find welding headers with a mig a pain in the butt, as far as having to stop welding flip the header and continue? Or did you build some sort of clamp to hold the header so you could turn it while you weld? Guido 10-01-2003, 11:25 PM I hammer a short stub into each port on the flange and put three tack welds to hold it. Tack the header and then when it comes to finishing, grind those tacks off and weld each tube, out of the flange. Obviously, you want to weld as much as you can with it assembled so you get less movement from the heat but thats the general idea. At least one of the middle tubes has to come out to get around all the seams. Mikey 97Z M6 10-02-2003, 01:35 AM The manz got skillz..... :D Nice job man.

SMOKNZ 10-04-2003, 07:52 AM Curt, Where do you get your supplies such as tubes flanges and collectors? Theses are all mild steel correct? Bill dmoss69 11-19-2003, 08:10 PM Where did you get your turbo for this setup and how much did it cost? I'm looking for something like this. Also, If you're going through the trouble to make both headers, wouldn't it be worthwhile to go ahead and make it a twin turbo, or are the cost of the turbos too much? One more, How much boost could you generate with this turbo? Thanks D Moss | ||
