Just for kicks the OLD manifold and downpipe lol Dont hate!
Oh YEAH!! kids snort coke like me and you can solve this!!!!
well thats pretty much what i have for now... actually i have a few more misc stuff that i didnt take pics of but oh well maybe next time.
ill try to rush things and finish within 2 weeks or so maybe 3 or 4 if i get lazy. ill post more when there's progress, i hope that this thread will be my motivation to get things done.
alright time to go watch some porn... later!

nice thread.
what happened to your first build? what did you do half assed that caused it to fail?
what hoses are you tapping into to get the vacuum source for the BOV and your boost gauge?
btw, im using a turbo thats very similar to taht and i cant get the damn exhaust side free from the center to clock it properly. ive tried wd40, pb blaster (let ti souck for about 15 hours) and a blow torch...nothing has worked.
any ideas?
the oil return fitting is about 45* away from sitting vertical and im afraid that since its gravity fed it wont drain properly like that....

the turbo just went out on my first setup, it was an old turbo that i knew was gonna fail anyways, plus my oil drain set up didnt help it any. i need to drill and tap it this time. I just rushed to get things done so, i wasnt happy on how things looked, im a bit of a perfectionist haha

yeah get a nice hammer and pound it off!!!!

what do you mean drill and tap it this time? how was it before?
you driving the car with the fmic on it? thats gotta murder performance.
#12
haha i haven't gone full throttle for so long so i wouldnt know if it's slow or not...
drilling and tapping would work just as well though, it shouldnt be a problem, and it's something i can do on my own
#14
lol well im still keeping my options open, im gonna finish up the manifold and down pipe first.
#15
Wednesday!! wednesday!!
i didnt get any fab work done today because im at my ma and pa's house.
i did manage to pick up 2 items though:
harbor freight flux core welder!! it was only like 100 bucks.
and it welds alright, i took an angle grider with a wire wheel on it and cleaned it up after i took this pic and all the slag came off and it looks just like any other clean weld. this should help with finishing up my downpipe and the rest of my charge pipes.
overall im content with it
and this sucker! to tap my oil pan haha
and do you guys like my track bike?

i'm to lazy to metal finish anymore. lol have fun with that. nice updates. I will admit I almost started building my manifold last night. lol but not sure I want a log. almost tempted to get crazy to do a sidemount mani. but I'm definitly to lazy for that. to much relocating.

As for you, you should make a tubular topmount, it shouldnt be too hard for you since you are a way better fabricator than i am. im just gonna stick to the log for simplicity.
do something like this:

well it is tight but very doable, my first set up was a topmount log and there was an okay amount of room. you should make one with the turbo sitting lower and there should be plenty of room
