New Turbo kit
10 Attachment(s)
Well it was my 2 week vacation from school and I tried to build a new turbo kit. I got everything done except for welding up my manifold. So I have basically a completed turbo kit that I won't be able to drive and feel the results for the next 3 months :'(
Here's my mandrel bender Attachment 38769 Attachment 38770 mmmm 4:00a.m sparklers. My neighbors just love me Attachment 38771 Here's what the insides of my bends look like. They flow just as well as a $25 mandrel bend but can be made for a fraction of the price. Attachment 38772 Here's the manifold that I was unable to finish. I could have welded it with mine but I wouldn't be as confident as if I used a stronger welder. This is the whole reason the kit isn't done right now Attachment 38773 Attachment 38774 The turbo is front facing so it could get a little more of a ram air effect. Attachment 38775 The downpipe is 3.5 inches. Its a little overkill but its the only piie I had lying around besides 2.5 Attachment 38776 Finished product Attachment 38777 No need for mandrels on the charge pipes. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...y/Dsc00147.jpg I curved this charge pipe so it wouldn't block the flow of air going into the compressor https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...y/Dsc00115.jpg Stealthmoding the pipework :P Attachment 38778 Semi finished product. Notice the only mandrel bend in the whole kit. I had to include it so Jeff couldn't give me ----... That's my kit, too bad I can't try it out for 3 months since I'm leaving for school in 10 minutes. The specs on the kit are: T3/T4 .60 compressor .63 turbine 57 trim Tyrus 8.5 inch intercooler Greddy Type-S BOV Custom Whitey Bent charge pipes ;) Custom manifold 3.5 inch downpipe 38mm Tial wastegate uberdata DSM 450's plx m300 wideband Tell me what you think... |

Looks like you had about 3 days worth of welding on your "Whitey bends". ;) Looks good. It looks like the quality is a step up on this one. :)

you didn't fail, you just didn't finish yet ;)

Re:Tried to make a new turbo kit and failed.... (lots of pics)
if I could weld straight I'd use whitey bends, but until then it's free crush bends for me since I have a hookup on that ----.

The manifold is pimp, good work. The finished product should be hella nice and different.

I read somewhere where someone did dyno comparison tests on crush bent pipes and mandrel bends and the only difference was about 8hp. yeah, thats alot, but I think it could be picked up elsewhere... if I can find the thread, I will post it in another thread. |
