im interested to see what kind of power you get out of that VNT.

 

They can do about 210hp before they go way out of their efficiency range. I've heard that the massively huge exhaust housing is good for up to 350hp with a properly sized compressor. The compressor side of this turbo is completely identical to a T25, and it shares the same bearings/seals. Are there many compressor options for a T25?

 

The manifold is ready, just has a tiny bit of machining to be done at the flanges.









A 2" long piramid blending the pipes together into the collector.


And a test fit:

 

Whoa, looking good man, I didnt think the collector was going to turn out very nice at all. Big thumbs up!

 

yeah very nice manifold, how long did it take you to make that?

 

what car are you boosting?

 

That looks excellent!

I love when people can get the ---- together and out-do the qualtiy of those super expensive 'mass produced' pieces!

bead blast that bitch and she'll be beautiful!

 

Took a day making the flanges, 3 nights routing pipes and tacking up, 2 nights welding.
And the car is a Suzuki Vitara, 2" suspension lift, 4" body lift, 35" all-terrain radials.
Engine has modified stock pistons, CR is about 8.9:1. I'm working on getting custom pistons, dropping the CR to about 8.0:1... One thing at a time, until then I'll be running 0.8 bar. This car has been running boosted since january last year with a much smaller turbo.

 

Those are some nice fat looking welds. You did use TIG all the way right? I need to save up a grand for a TIG welder.

Your piece looks pretty damn close as to how I would have had it - good job!

I can see you've done your research, the support pieces are right where they should be.
