Started on some headers
 

I've started building a pair of headers to fit two T3 Garrett turbos on to a V6 engine in my trackday/drift car.
Using 1 1/4" stainless steel pipework.
Righthand side tacked up for now. ::)

damn... coulda atleast went with 1.5?

Looks like a pretty bad bottle neck approaching the flange... worse than a straight up log?

Re: Started on some headers
 

Did think about bigger pipe but i cant get 1.5 only 2".

Cosworth = the only company to make a Ford engine block usefull.
They made motors for the Chevy Vega.

Looks like a cool project.Them manis should get the job done just fine.Keep the updates coming.

Re: Started on some headers
 

Nice project. Not the most efficient design, but should work for the outcome. Poor turbo manifold if better the not turbo manifold!

Re: Started on some headers
 

I had a think and went to a pipe suppliers and

Came back with some 1 1/2" pipework ;D So the pipework is now altered.

The reason for the log type layout is the tight space in the engine bay. Also due to it being a standard engine
the pistons aint that strong, so i'm not after a lot of boost 9 to 10psi max will do.

The new pipework

less welds, bigger runners... much better.
