I've not done any more really. Needing to order connections, heat shrink, fuel lines. Still to finish welding the turbo exit pipe. Just been busy. But but i do have alot of nuke stuff I can start to mock up there positions. Again I'm probably best waiting till I have my fuel cell and cage.
As...
Got abit done to day, still to finish welding the exhaust, fit two bungs in it and make the trim plate.
Found making the manifold easier to weld than the two exit pipes. May make them again but for now they will do. Would like to have the all this made for me mind you. Costs would be high due...
Wasn't overly happy with 1st attempt needed tighter pie cuts. So cut more out and redesigned it. Much happier and ready to tack up this week while i wait for rest of my pipe work
Got hungry, cut some pies.
1st attempt at this kind of fabrication. Needs few adjustments but so far going well.
Can see why its costly to have someone make it
Dressed up the housing and got it welded. Just to rebuild the wastegate then make the exhausts. Once happy with it all manifold and turbo house will be heat treated.
Over the weekend I've decided where I'm putting the wastegate, made up templates for my intercooler end caps, cut the bumper for intercooler and made a copy of the chargers mounting points to have a new one made to spec for the bigger charger to fit in the same place.
Could do it in a week I'd say,
exhaust wise not overly hard. Can you weld. They come out the right hand side..mite be easier/cheaper to get it made up at custom exhaust place. I had my PMS on modified to fit.
Insurance isnt that bad Tbh. My turbo was 500. My mpv conversion one was 500 and my...
Don't see how it's going to be a pain in the arse considering I've just made the manifold. That was a pain in the arse, welding on to the house is far easier.
If it doesn't work it only costing a new housing.
Best flow will be at turbo. Seen it done before. Worse case I redesign it.
Theres only one way it's going, it won't be a daily but will be making a system incase it's too loud
