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

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.



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

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.

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

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

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)



some stainless mixed in with the cast iron pipe fittings for ultimate gangster hmt fluxcore action
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



tacked halfway, welded the other half.



done
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)

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

it's 1.5"x 4" c-channel from an old *** 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
