Tubular Turbo Manifold

Short video on Page 3.

-----------

Due to this issue, I'm upgrading to a custom tubular manifold since the turbo will be off anyway. In this change, I'm also changing to a TiAL v-band stainless steel turbine housing.. no more exhaust leaks.

New Garrett compressor wheel installed.


Washin dishes.. and the compressor housing. Got rid of all the scratched up VHT on it and decided to run it all natural.


V-band housing installed.


Ready to rock.






Tomorrow the stainless exhaust flange will be CNC cut, and the manifold tacked up and finalized. Hopefully downpipe and wastegate routing as well. Long day. I'll be sure to get videos too, it's going to be loud (3" open downpipe) until I get it welded up to the rest of the exhaust. I might go to the track with it open.

Sweet dude equal length? I wanna see some sexy bends.

It Should really help your high end, log manifolds are great down low but the tubular is going to open a whole new door for you. I assume your going to retune since when you make boost will vary from you previous tune?

Yeah it's gonna look pretty sweet when it's done.

Yesterday all we got done was the flange, collector, and removing the existing wastegate tube and downpipe, and locating the turbo relative to the flange such that he now has a jig. Hopefully done by tomorrow...





Don't worry, I'll use a fancy camera to take the final pictures.

^ I cant even describe how hard I'm laughing right now.
Ion- I still just want a ride someday. Looking freaking sweet so far, as if it didn't before. Can't wait to see some final pics and vids.... And go for a ride.

For sure being done tomorrow. So many distractions today... ffs. One runner is welded. Tomorrow the rest of the manifold will be welded, downpipe fabricated, wastegate routed, oil lines extended with metal tubing, to prevent hose cracking from being so close to the turbine like I experience all the time, etc.

Manifold done.














Cutting the downpipe.


Need to have a super tight pie cut to navigate around the turbo and fuel/coolant lines.


Prepping it for the TiAL v-band flange.

Should be routing the wastegate, updating oil lines, and O2 sensors today so I can finally drive it.
