rdsk8ter Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 I got my turbo feed pipe started heres some pics. I will smooth the welds out later but just getting everything fitted for now and checking for leaks tomorrow ( I should say fixing leaks tommorrow lol theres gotta be some but its late and I'm tired). Heres a picture to show how the pipes merge together. They are open in the center. I still have got to grind down the extra metal inside but my neighbors would kill me if kicked on the die grinder now lol Please dont make fun of my welds, the only welder I have to use doent have gas lol. They are not very sexy but I got good strong welds there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 I got some more done on the hotside feed pipe. I still need to add the wastegate tube though. That being said what size pipe is ideal for this? Also I know I need to leave the main tube at a 45 degree angle but can I have anouther 45 degree ish (depending on what bend is needed to have the wastegate level) in the same pipe? Here is what I have so Far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Picked up a tial 38mm wastegate here is the mounting area im going to plumb it in tomorrow short amount of pipe too only like a foot worst case too so flow shouldnt be an issue at all. best part this baby was only 175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have decided Im going to build a heat sheild to isolate the wastegate. I also plan to have the feed pipe ceramic coated to help with the heat. Heres a mounted pic. I was only able to get about a 35-40 degree angle. I really wanted a 45 but there is just no way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well got the down pipe almost done I need to go through and clean everything up down pipe headers charge pipe etc etc and get them ready for ceramic coating. Here is how Im going to be running the charge pipe. Picked up some mandrel bend 3" aluminum 90s at a killer price Down pipe to 4" v band flange Charge pipe Pardon the pipe not lining up but heres what Im going to do with the last part to the intake. Now i just need to find someone to weld aluminum for free......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ive got the pipe mocked up just need to get the flange. Here are two locations I'm considering (I held a peice of pipe to see rough size. pipe is longer then BOV but it gets you the idea. Here it is visable Here it is not I dont Know where I should put this Im up for ideas too. Here are some Pics Of the Pipe yes It will be into the intake. The new intake Is slightly lower.
