started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

with some flange love. waiting for more $ to start the manifolds, i'm undecided whether or not to go with sch10 weld ells, black iron fittings, or regular exhaust mandrel bends for the turbo manis. more than likely i will go with the black iron fittings O0

going to run 2 s4 rx7 hitachi turbos, i got one flange cut, i'll work on the other one tomorrow. not using the split scroll, if i can't spool these turbos with 3200cc's and a carb dumping insane amounts of fuel, i'll go for one single horse sized holset or some diesel turbo.

bandsaw, dremel (air compressor dropped a valve) and torch made these. bench grinder to wire wheel/smooth the edges

and the exhaust flanges. 5 3/8" bolts hold these puppies on, i'll need some bracing :6

That's a thing of beauty. Not only is the ex. volute ghetto fab, but you properly hacked the ---- out of yourself.



Well played, sir!

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

you will spool these no problem. The series 4 had the smaller rear housing than the series 5, port your wastegate housing tho because the series 4 had one small port and were notorious for spiking where the s5 had two wastegate holes that solved that problem.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

going to run external, and weld the internal shut.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

nice ghetto fabuluos

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

verry nice to see something standing coming to life!

so are you gonan go blow through carb gangsterness!!!!!

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

*waits for jd to come talk ----*


hope this one works out for ya!

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

No one is going to be talking ---- here anymore. This is the fab forum not general discussion or the OG forum. I'll delete all ---- talking and keep this a build thread.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

Pro-active moderation.


Nice ;D

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build
 

i might wind up re-hosting this thread in OG forum depending how things go. if noobs start jumping on it and being fucktards, it goes to the OG forum

waiting for the sun to swing around to the garage before i weld it up, buuuutttttt.....

flange for reference to the manifold

1.5" pipe ell's, total was $21. O0 O0 O0 O0

bolt spacing will be tight, i'm going to space these off a little bit.
im probably going to get (4) more 90's and right angle them upwards so i can get to the bolts, unlike bigdaddy's pipedream bottom mount :6

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

You should rock a toplog and cut two holes in the hood like FearsomeDan or who ever did the twin setup on that red 'maro.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

I recommend you poop in the IM before you attempt to start it.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

i pooped in your girlfriends mouth before i started to rail her, does that count?

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

I'm more than happy to pay your expenses (but not medical bills) to come down here and try that. She'll break your ass down like a shotgun, sir.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

So she's Puer'aricana?

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

got the log done, outside of turbo placement and such. waiting for it to cool down since the fittings are cast. i might go with a double bead later on after i pick up a spool of fluxcore

flange in place (for ideas)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...0121091441.jpg

some stainless mixed in with the cast iron pipe fittings for ultimate gangster hmt fluxcore action :6 O0
i dumped a bunch of ---- i had out on top of my toolbox looking for something that was already on top of the box :1

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...0121091451.jpg

tacked halfway, welded the other half.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...0121091535.jpg

done :6 :6 :6 :6
when it cools, ill start mocking for the turbo placement, going to run external off of the back of the log (the open ended T)

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

does the copious amounts of fluxcore and pipe fittings make this an OG forum item? either way, more updates.

lol, this is the center of the flange. warped slightly inwards, usually it pulls the ears in

more dirty fluxwelds.

hmt love :6

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with log manifold)
 

did you pre tap that steel jib plate, or did you already have it layin around

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

it's 1.5"x 4" c-channel from an old ass frame lift. drilled 5 holes slightly bigger than the 3/8" hardware, bolted/nutted it down incase the bolts got 'welded' into the plate. if you need some, i got some up for grabs. old truck frames work too but c-channel is much nicer to play with

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

cast iron + stainless + fluxcore

awesome O0

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

stainless is cheaper than pipe fittings anymore, so i figured i'll use it. stainless begs for you to fluxcore it. welds beautifully when you don't have pot metal weeping casting oils all over the place :1

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

that is a great looking log you got there. what motor is that? i'm sure it was posted somewhere and i just missed it.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

International SV (the model of the motor, not truck) v8, 345ci for mockup but am swapping in my 392ci come warmer weather

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

looks like a solid pile of fail. i forsee the same fate as the f150.

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

ford was fucked no matter how i looked at it. smoked ecu's, factory miswired harness, bent rod that was locked up, blown trans, no $

the manifolds are hmt's finest collaboration of fluxcore stainless and black iron, turbos are from rx7's. will be ordering a new holley 600 (a 2bbl 350cfm flows enough to feed these dinosaurs) and throwing a tophat on it. if i remember it right, i can boost reference the fuelpump, but i can't exactly buy them in stores anymore, so it's either going to be an electric one i can reference, or elec + 1:1 regulator (this ---- gets more $ than the rest of the build)

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

ok

Re: started the ball rolling on my turbo IH build (now with fluxcore log manifold)
 

fist yourself, you know when im shipping your ----.

just not in 1.5 years like with quikenuf :6
