Turbo Header Fab
-
Just got done playing w/ the new welder. This one is just out of raw steel just getting ideas for designs and what not. Prolly gonna bead blast it and coat it and just use it for display. Next few will be out of stainless.
I think it turned out pretty good for the 1st attempt.
Last few piucs are kinda blurry, but hey whats new!!
-
nice, is that for the dsm?

Its actually not for anything. I just used some flanges i had laying around. If it were to go on any car it owuld have to be a 1.6L miata using a Mitsu turbine. I didn't build it off the car though as i wasn't planning on using it so i doubt it'd even fit a miata. I believe miata would have to have a top mount due to the steering shaft coming down that side would interfere. But anyways just messin around playing w/ designs. I should hopefully have some stainless flanges this week so i can build some pretty headers :-). I know i need to do 2 for a 1G DSM, gonna do for for my civic, and then we need to design on a setup for Kevins car once the motor is rotated 90 degrees.

build one for a sti and stash for for about 23k more miles

You should try and make one for a 3/S...a better designed tdo4 and a tdo5 flange...large market with deep pockets out there, the few places that do them have a waiting list out the door.

Looks really good. Nice beads. Always wondered how ya weld around were they come together @ bottom.

Bring your car and some cash for a TT setup and i'll start workin on some :-).You can use it for a test pilot..but I am not in the market for a larger header and even larger turbo setup right now. There are enough things wrong with it the way it is.....

But yeah i could use your car as a test pilot if you wanted to do that, you just gotta take everything apart and put it back together, haha. Not really in the mood to tear a stealth apart right now.

so how about a TT setup on a 4.6L V8 Tbird. You could officially be the first to put a TT setup on these cars....but hmmm...
if you could throw together a well priced intake tube for these cars, would probably sell pretty goodI'd have to see the intake setup to say if i could or couldn't but i dont see why not.

oh it's pretty simple really, just a 3" or 3.5" tube, about a 60* bend to the pass side and maybe 10* down after you get over the fuel rails. Only thing that could be an issue is going over the fuel rails (solution tried before was cutting a slice out () [<-something along that shape] and flattening it out and welding it back together.)
...and then a couple bungsOnly guy that made a decent reasonably priced piece quit making them now (just found this out looking for a pic)...

(may not look like much, but what it's replacing is HORRIBLE)It's something I'll have to talk to you about sometime. I wouldn't mind getting something put together for myself and I wouldn't be suprised one bit if you could move a fair number of these to other guys (if it's something you'd be interested in putting out a few of).

Doesn't appear to be anything to complicated but like you said there probably some stuff i cant see in the pics that have to be worked around. But yeah im always up for doing something new.

(unless we get a particularly nice stretch of weather sometime this winter that I feel like bringing the car out in)
