shouldn't need to go to a slim fan with this setup. thankfully it was only a 2.5" dp.

Great work as usual. How much for the sweet wastegate? :)

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

who wants power steering in a honda? i love my manual steering rack :y damn good work none the less. tight as a virgin there.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

That's an a/c compressor, not a power steering pump.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

man your stuff is so nice. Its like ............ Artwork :)

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

pshhhh, I've fit a 3" DP in there with AC, and that includes the t3's internal wastegate housing in the way.

Have fun with the oil drain tube, thats always the best part. Looks good, is this specifically for a cstomer, or was this just for fun? :P

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

Is that an SSAC wastegate, the diaphragm looks like it's pretty worn

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

i've also done a 3" dp with an internally gated turbo and a/c as well... but can you do it without pie cutting the dp?

it was at a cusomer's request.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

Let's see it.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

The only thing I can say is I consistently disagree with how you route your WG into the downpipe. It should be done right before the oil pan when the DP kicks back straight. I'd love to see a dyno chart of this car. I have a strong feeling once the WG opens, the power production gets completely wavy.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

:1

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

I agree,but i have seen setups get by somehow. I got tired of it, so since we dont have emissions laws here and everyone is a ricer, i just route them all behind the pan or out the bumper per request :)

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

nice work the only thing i see is the dump tube needs a small flex section or it will eventually crack.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

haha you got me once more...----, im slacking, not working on cars all winter really gets to me. not having a heated garage bites ass.

I <3 Carhartt. Maybe Santa will bring you some

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

you know nothing ! please, stick to your general bullshit side of the forum.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

Jago, I'd agree if it were going on a POS setup that didn't matter, but a GT28rs turbo is $1000+. It's not a joke setup. The WG dumping into the exhaust with that small of a turbine/downpipe is just going to cause greater turbulance/back pressure/turbine inefficiency resulting in power loss. Routing it another 1.5' down stream in a less abrupt manner would minimize those issues.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

customer is only looking to make 250, so i don't think it will matter too much.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

thats certified pimp status :y

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

retaining A/C+250hp with $1000 turbo=Joke

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

dats wut we call fancy shmancy city slicker fab werk rite der.......nicely done!

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

Just curious, what's the advantage of cleaning the ENTIRE piece of pipe before welding it?

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

Damn that looks good.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

Difference between a HMT welder and a Professional welder.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

'Fo real, what kind of stainless do you use? My ---- is never that shiny :-[

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

no real advantage for doing the whole piece before welding, but if i'm gonna be at the bench grinder taking it to the wire wheel anyway, why not take 15 more seconds and do the whole thing so it looks nice and uniform? on a manifold, or dump tube it doesn't take that much extra time, but i don't usually do the whole downpipe.

it is just plain 304ss, looks like any other 304 before the wire wheel gets it.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

LOOKS TITS. ive always admired your work weir

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

How will you run the oil return on a setup like that?
Do you go over the downpipe to get to the other side?

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

yes. that is why in the first pic it looks like there is quite a bit of clearance between the downpipe and the oil pan, so there is room to squeeze an oil return in there.

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

on a serious note, how much for the wastegate jig? need one to test clearances

Re: log+gt28+a/c=tight
 

don't be such a lazy asshat and make your own! :4
