240hoke Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hey guys, Im working on designing a turbo header in solidworks, just messing around at school. Was wondering if anybody already had the flange deminsions laid out, maybe a technical drawing they had sent out to get flanges made etc. Also for those of you that have made headers, I was wondering what the options were for switching over from square port to round port. I assume you could transtion a thick flange or machine one end of the tubes. Is the P90 the best thing to use, perhaps a round port head? Anyway the idea right now (long way off) if to draw up the header in solid works and then have teh flanges laser cutt, and see how much it would run to have the tubes CNC mandrel bent -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy36 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 What format would you like? I have this drawn up in solid edge and am not sure which files are compatible between the two. I am guessing that an IGES file would be the most compatible. I'll post some files in the downloads section, both of a header design and of the flange (very accurate dimensions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted February 24, 2006 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hey guys' date=' ..... Is the P90 the best thing to use, perhaps a round port head? ........... -Austin[/quote'] In my opinion, the P-90 is the best option you have available for a boosted project as it allows you the most potential overall, especially if plan to take advantage of the benefits that your DIY exhaust manifold would yield The next step up from the P-90 would be an entire RB swap. For more info with details concerning the ports themselves, combustion chambers, etc, read this thread thoroughly. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=104420 Keep us posted on your solid works project, (Solid works ROCKS!)

BayAreaZT Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Thanks for the files Zguy. I was able to open the IGES files with no problems. This will give me something play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy36 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Sorry to those who already downloaded those flange dimensions. I had an old file on the computer I was using, which contains a mistake in the center flange. I reposted the new 'revised' files which are 100% correct. I have used this file for cnc water jet cutting of flanges and was really happy with the result. Once again, sorry for posting bad info!
