FJ 280z Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 that thing is pretty insane, i hope he figures out how not to have his bumper block >50% of his intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I wonder why they opted not to use velocity stacks inside that plenum instead of just sections of tube? Maybe they've just got an internal radius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopu Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 i need a better shot of the inside of that plenum, almost looks like theres a shelf created by the over lap of the tubes. that would be less than ideal in my mind. The lack of velocity stack probly has something to do with the fact he is shoving so much boost in there it probly would make little difference. I did it to my l-6 manifold but i have no idea how its gonna work. peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they've just got an internal radius? if you read what the fabricator wrote about the intake manifold, he's not finished with it and the tubes you see inside are actually too long and are just for mock up and are later going to be made into velocity stacks. alot of fabrication going on there, see how those t3/60-1 are pretty much hanging on by some wire, alot of weight on those headers. nicely made equal length headers though.

Hi, sorry. I've been a member on this forum for a while now but never really come on here. The intake manifold is just about done and yes, they have stacks in them. The wire supporting the turbos is just to show how the turbos will be hung. I will be fabricating some heim joints that will support the full weight of the turbos/wastegates/downpipes/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I will be fabricating some heim joints that will support the full weight of the turbos/wastegates/downpipes/etc. I don't know what a helm joint is. I'm sure you know well enough to support their weight using the engine or that you you're gonna have solid motor mounts. Looks awesome, though!

I'm sure you know well enough to support their weight using the engine or that you you're gonna have solid motor mounts. Looks awesome, though! Yea, the motor and tranny are solid mounted so i don't have to worry about the turbos moving around because of the engine movement. But there's still the issue of expansion from heat so a heim joint position correctly will support the weight of the turbo and allow for lots of movement from expansion. My heim joints will connect from a flange on the turbine housing to the aluminum square tube in place of the radiator support directly above the turbo. My rods will actually be alot longer than the ones pictured below. This is a heim joint: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Where is the pipe coming from that will go into the TB???? I assuming that is the intercooler in the pic??? looks pretty tight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84Nissan300zx Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 thats going to be a tight fit on the radiator dont you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami240 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Where is the pipe coming from that will go into the TB???? I assuming that is the intercooler in the pic??? looks pretty tight!! I have no finished fabricating the endtanks on the ic. It will be fed by the top endtank sitting right in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami240 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 thats going to be a tight fit on the radiator dont you think Radiator will be trunk mounted. I will be cutting out the spare tire well and placing the radiator flush with the trunk floor with fans on teh under side pulling fresh air from the inside of the car, through the radiator, out.

Miami240 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Spent another couple of hours on it today. Got one of the wastegate ports done. Hopefully will have the other one done tomorrow. Can anyone say boost creep???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami240 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 BTW, i really appreciate the comments guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
