Default 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

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



shortblock (same as mine), then longblock (different coolant passages, not for heavy applications) that i'm using. 392ci, gear on gear cam drive, pushrod love


where im stuffing two turbos (inner fender/fender is off for cab rust repair)

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!

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.

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.
