Turbo BS Thread

I agree with this. Equal length, tubular or bust.

 

Make it out of heavier wall tube and add bracing if needed.

 

TITANIUM ALLOY! same stuff they put on the space ships

 

Tubes do look sexy. Could find a compromise with a 4-2-1 so at least you don't have a hard 90 to the flange. I'm looking to only fill the needs of someone looking for 300whp.

I figured a place like LCE or paradise will have some sweet manifold for the 400hp plus club. They aren't going to seek out the garage fab dude.

 

From what @MrCrowntown has mentioned LCE will be releasing a 2TR log manifold.

 

Funny this gets brought up. I literally just hopped off the phone with Wes over at LCE.

They are getting ever closer to the final design, and I will be heading up after the Holidays to get on with the install and then thorough thrash lol

 

Too funny. Probably an iteration of the CNC style one they have for the 2/3rz. Makes the most sense for them to go that direction.

Looks like I gotta go full kill if I want in. Make a t3 flange external wastegate to steal business from the Chinese company.

 

just put a v-band on for the WG flange and one for the turbo and then people can do what ever that want

 

This gets complicated fast, lol.

 

Are you feeling lucky punk?

 

Vibrant performance has schedule pipe to use for thick wall "tubing" manifolds.

 

Nah man just do this for a 60 mm wg and they make adapters for a two bolt that would contect on the vband and then put a 2.5" vband so people can use something like this, and use a t28 or t3 or t4 if they want
all super end user friendly totally customizable with only 1 bolt each to change

 

ambient temp right now is 30° and this was 2 hours ago normal driving so IC is working great... Boost shoots that up 25° or so instantly btw haha (the 33.8° is "intake" just niced there is some glare)

 

Going that route with the low cost SS plumbing pipe sch 40. Elbows are only $5 to $8.

If my newer design manifold design isn't too big of a pain to make, I'll make it work for a 2tr too. Only difference would be a manifold flange. It's all in CAD so to make more would be easy. I'd prefer to avoid all those adapter flanges. Less places to leak the better.

My first thought was to just make a quick and dirty manifold like this.

 

Thick, free-flowing, stainless steel, log manifolds. LCE is taking forever to release theirs and it might be cast iron, for all I know.

 

i wanna melt metal turboie stuff together; the fab side was way more fun than the tune side... Well i mean there were several time i either was gonna scrap my hood or run a bunch of stuff out of it cuz i could get it to fit but other than that...

 

LOL

I can attest that it is not cast. @Boring

I can't promise that it is SS, but I can promise that it is CNC and flow tested.

 

Well i just filmed my software as i did a lil pull and i never got above 4 psi, i never put a clamp on the line right past the TB and i hope/think its leaking out there... So i still have 3 morr psi under the hood of this beast... Super excited that im doin pulls like that on 3-4 psi

 

Mine is the opposite on 8-9 psi and wondering why I cant light up the tire from a 20mph roll.

 

I'm officially running straight E85 at avg. 13 mpg
