Is the weld up header kit from Jegs or something? Looking good on the progress there!

 

haha, i have seen WAYYYY too many people weld the collector on and THAN try to weld the gaps, doesnt work out so pretty

 

Theres no reason for having a gap on the end of the 4 pipes where they come together, 16ish gauge metal bends easily. Lookin good.

 

yup just a Jegs 1 5/8 16 gauge weld up kit.

only 89.99 and I am only going to use 4-5 total pieces!

ya after welding the pipes together and to the flange, I will put the collector on and use a screwdriver or something and bang the crease in between the pipes to "tighten" the gap up.

Jay

 

Woot a small amount more of progress, went over and finish welded the tubes together, then tacked it to the flange and welded the ends together.
Tomorrow I will bring it to work and up the ends all to one length then weld the collector on!

And yes it looks tight but I am going to redo the brake lines to clear good. And all the engine harness is binded up on them bc its just hanging there.

Very nice! Keep 'em coming!

Well I got my new seats to add to the collection of parts to move to the new house haha


Jay

 

SuhwheeeeEeEEeEeeet!

 

Well the driver side is done other then the 3"-2.5" reducer and the V-band.

The collector turned out really good! Was simple to weld and fill the gaps too...progress will be slow for the next few weeks as I move to my house this weekend and have some hardwood to lay and a bench to build in the garage!

just a tubular setup and mounting the turbo in front of the motor.....possibly sending it out for a garrett 88mm wheel who knows
