or you could make your own its not that hard. And the feeling of making your own stuff is awesome

Is no one concerned that these extractors are just crush bends and are using normal cooletcotrs and not merge collectors I dont want to speak bad about some one elses work but i would really like to see a dyno output on these compared to manderal bent headers with merge collectors

Thats good buying right there

cool , i wonder if the ipswitch guy has any 2+2s

Thank you. And the answer to your question 24 inches it the length i am looking for. If i can get it but thats the general figure

I went into work today and did some more work on my Exhaust manifold. Its comimg along nicely, of course its all just tacked together and has to be fully welded once all the pipes are sorted Thats not where the header pipe will end up it was just a play to see what it would look like And to suport the manifold when its finished

You mean they ripped me off then . Damn they were expensive socks as well

They are safety socks

Yeah i thought it was strange as well . But there you go , i was ready to order a set

I actully rung them about the very same thing It seems they dont do zg flares

Thanks for the heads up guys If this turns out ok i may actually looking at making some to sell , i will just have to see how it turns out in the end and what interest i get for them

Yeah this is my work socks Yup i have used black steel weld bends It will be heavy so i will run a brace for the turbo to help it stay in place Im thinking to run it off the engine mount and use two rose joints so it has some room for expansion if it needs it My goal is to put this on and not have to remove it , Im going to pick up a dummy turbo tomorrow to help me work out the placement correctly

This is what i have in mind for my manifold to look like

well finished the merge collector Here is a pic of my manifold sitting on the floor. I put my socks on to keep every one happy Tomorrow i will start to join the pieces together to make a manifold out of it

Yeah the students love it. Im always building stuff at work . I had some year 11 students come in at lunch to finish deburring my block for me

Im not going to big bore it as i dont see the need when you can just give it another pound of boost Im looking for some forged pistons and rods Rods are only 700 so thats not bad pistons go a bit higher. I would like to be able to rev this thing hard if i feel the need and not so sure about the cast pistonbs at that higher rpm (8000 is the figure i have in mind) Im working hard at the moment and have just made the two merge collectors for the exhaust today. I have decided to put the turbo in the middle of the engine instead of up the front , will be better supported and will also look better in my op

Yeah , they are not my hands, im actually a reformed mechanic and now teach metal work at a high school so those are a year 11 kids hands helping me out.

Ok i know this looks strange but there is method in my madness. Im trying to work out the best place for my turbo to sit and still have equal length headers. Dont tell the wife about her vacum hose thats gone missing.

Hot tank was 50 and yes just the block at this stage the head i am going to use is still on the car. But I will get it acid dipped as well when its time to do the head. The head is a few weeks away yet, im waiting on the valves for that to turn up.

Well finished the block today. I hate the cast iron dust , it gets into your throat something terrible

Im looking for a black interior so if you wishing to sell that out fo the car then please let me know Thanks

Picked my engine up from the hot tank guy today Tomorrow i will start cleaning out the casting marks out of it.

Sweet thats a good thing. Thanks for that Save me having to fix the rusty parts huh

I can understand that , they are damn fine socks Ok well i think i will get one that replaces the front panel , it will make it easier Im after the big one anyone i guess thats the one that does The very first one on the blue z in this thread is the one i want http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,4098.0.html

Ha ha Yeah got to have my socks, im thinking about hanging them from the wing mirror when i have finished
