Looks good Dusty! Expecially happy that your not running the WasteGates off one primary. Your method promotes madness but at least it will promote even distribution of pressure.

I'm still not sure where the air is supposed to go!

 

Be-sure to budget plenty of time... and thanks.




From a distance the welds dont look to bad ether.... lol


yea, I've second guessed even turboing this car more than once.


I'll be-sure to sent everything to you when I'm done. lol

Yea, it should be quit apparent I've lost my mind...


That's the idea, whether it is a total waste of time or not is another matter.


A little more done. The left side gate is done, so the only thing left for the manifolds is to touch up a few ugly welds, weld in eight EGT probe bosses, weld in two drive pressure fitting bosses, a bit more welding in the merge and a little port clean up. I'm beyond burnt out on the headers, so I'll come back to most of this stuff later........

Here is the progress of the left side...
Connect to holes...

















O.K now to move on to the A/C compressor bracket, first, I can not draw well but I wanted something unique. I had planed on a March-ish looking bracket but my wife gave me this idea so I appeased her and drew it up. I ended up liked it enough to try and make it. Turned out O.K imo, but I still have a bit of clean up to it. It also serves as a way to identify what family I belong to if the unthinkable happens, theft deterrent, and more proof I do things the hard/long/waste of time way.......























I plan in building another pivot support for the rear of the A/C pump, the I'll use an adjustable rod to tighten the belt. Never mind the bolt holding the alternator up, it was just used to position the alternator for more brain storming........

 

You are a talented guy.

 

Amazing work on those headers, they would easily pass for a modern art piece.

 

u have some patients. thats is beautiful and amazing work sr. great job

 

You've got some serious talent. Keep up the good work!

 

wow, thanks guys, it doesn't look that good in person. maybe I'm just tired of starring at it????

 

holly snake orgy! good work bro!

 

Those headers are looking good. I like the A/C bracket as well. Great work keep it up.

 

I love how you kept the waste gate pipe departure angle's from the Primaries honest and didn't fubar it up like most people do. I think that will promote much less turbulance at those junctures.

Keep up the good work Dusty! And don't you lose motivation just yet, it's hard enough watching Henry struggle to finish his project!!
