More PICS updates for new TT setup


Recommended Posts

Those triangle peices on the intake manifold behind the throttle body piping, are those flat peices of aluminum or are they pieces cut out of round metal, like a large diameter pipe?

 

Very nice work. I especially like the intake manifold because I'd like to make one for my car very soon..Would like more details on it, did you stick air horns into it, did you make your own some how? I think I will have to put my throttle body out like that as well. Was shopping around for throttle bodies, and I think I'm going to go with a 75mm one off of an LS1, has a built in idle valve, which I think is cool. The 65mm on my orange car is pretty easy to drive with, so I figure 75 shouldn't be too much harder..

 

The main body of the intake manifold looks like it doesn't have welds on the outer edge, is this because you ground them down, or did you pick up the metal pre bent, if so where can I get some?

 

Very nice work overall, is that a 40mm wastegate? Was looking around on ebay and thought I saw one similar. I'm going to bolt up a 35mm one, as that should do the trick for me. I like the tie in supports a lot, are the threaded parts SS?

 

Are you keeping with the square exhaust system under the car?

Those pieces are flat

I purchased the airhorns from TWMinduction.

It is just bent on a break, not welded and ground down.

Yes, I run dual 40mm HKS wastegates, one for each turbo.

Those are the standard rod ends form MSC, hardened steel/chrome ball/brass bushing and cost about $4.25/per. The rods are chromoly with machined inserts.

 

Are you keeping with the square exhaust system under the car?

 

Yes, the old rectangular exhaust is still being used.
