I plan on building one soon, but probly nowhere as good looking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 looks bad ***...wondering if he is on hybrid? can any1 give their input on this and say if it's well built or would help considerably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Looks pretty nice to me. I don't think you could get better and have the turbo so close to the original position. I'm saving all the pics for if I ever get sk11lz and want to make one. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett76Zt Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i dont like the wastegate placement, and some of those runners dont seem equal length, but i could be wrong about that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Ive have seen this exact header listed a couple times before. I dunno if its the same person of not though. Regardless it appears to be a nice looking piece. Curious to see how much it sells for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8260 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i dont like the wastegate placement, and some of those runners dont seem equal length, but i could be wrong about that part. whats wrong with the waste gate placement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 whats wrong with the waste gate placement? It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it looks like the flow has to take a 180 degree turn...then travel 4 miles of pipe to the wastegate. With a big turbo, you may have a hard time dialing the bost down to lower numbers when trying to get the car tuned. Probably not an issue once you crank the boost up, but could definetly be a problem on lower boost levels. With a header like that, it could be a matter of you just can't have your cake and eat it too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then theres the clearance issue....hmmm.....pretty lookin thing thou.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 anybody seeing what I'm seein'....potential clearance issues on the #6 tube w/ hitting the turbo and/or dp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 looks like that but i doubt it. buying it i see in my future mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 stainless...look at the color of the metal and the heat discoloration. Thhe welder did a good job to not overheat the stainless. welds hurt flow though...if you can get one that is just tube with few welds it will flow better...not like it will make THAT much of a difference.

veritech-z Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 the wastegate routing makes me wonder too...i wonder if there is clearance enough to get a wrench on the mounting bolts too...if the flange is that thick, would the shared bolts with the intake manifold have trouble holding them both on evenly?

dapiper Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Tubes too long and too different. Why didn't he center turbo? Need at least 3" to clear down pipe from the #6 tube. What turbo was it designed for? Have to extrude hone to assure all slag from all those welds wouldn't hit the turbine impeller. Add on Jet coating.

greenmonster80 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I have one similiar in my garage. Don't know how it would work on a left side drive car. If someone is close by would be willing to give it a try....The wastegate location on mine I don't like as well.... If it works it could be used to duplicate. Pics are in my gallery...That is if the one above doesn't fit people's needs... http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=2978&cat=500&ppuser=9707 http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=2877&cat=500&ppuser=9707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
