Turbo BS Thread

That would have been so great when routing my crossover and such... But i guess thatd what saws, grinders and welders are for

 

It would definitely afford some mix and matching to come to the best possible style or routing.

 

I think it's cool for someone who has a lot of extra time on their hands lol

I couldn't see really using that unless I was building a show car where the parallelism of the tubes may be taken into consideration..

I like the Jeff lutz method. Chop saw and grinder within reach, and shape away, tacking as you go.


That being said, a big boy lego set that could help you make some badass production parts? it's okay in my book!! (as if that matters )

 

For a hobbyist who is going to build one, maybe two, manifolds ever, I can definitely see it not being worth the investment, unless they could turn around and sell the kit for minimal loss. For a fab shop or manufacturer, I could see it being a worthwhile investment to speed up initial R&D and checking clearances. Would be great for mocking up a header with the engine on a stand and then tweaking if needed with the engine in the car to clear things that end up being in the way.

 

Thats what I meant by production parts. Model it in car, transfer to tabletop jig to make multiple production headers

 

The biggest pain in the butt part is cutting the tubes if you start to get crazy. I saw that treadstone has some cast merge collectors

Dang. I swear I posted that somewhere. Lol.

Just watched it this morning. I chuckled and Matt's definition of the URD acronym.

That owner is a member here as well.

 

Oh?? Tag him!

 

Those who wheel with turbos what do you do to your exhaust setup currently I have a crunched up quiet flow but once the turbo goes on I'll be changing that. How did you keep it out of the way? Anyone send it through the rear bed side or anything cool?

 

@SLVRNBLK

 

I turned mine down just before the axle. It loud AF lol

I will probably look into a side exit when the turbo is on and my fiberglass bedsides get put on

 

Did you see how @DOUBLLD ran his exhaust in his build thread?

 

Well now im gonna go re look lol

 

Here you go. No searching needed.

I though this might ruffle some feathers. He did apologize and said he was just kidding, I heard it myself as I was in the truck. He's a funny guy, no harm involved.

 

I started to search

I like that teardrop out the fender, but im gonna need a lot of room for uptravel, so i may emulate that but in front of the wheelwell

 

Hey, clean 2tr buddy! I've been hawk-eyeing TST for a modded taco for so long lol saw you posted up in the background of another video

 

I'm absolutely dying...
