PROJECT - TOP SECRET - Engine updates, Everything about my engine Options

[doGGy]

Hey,

This weekend finally i had time (and my friend too) to work on my custom turbo Header. We started like 11.30 am, and both thought that this job will be easy... Yup, it wasnt... All thought about the design, everything that we where doing seemed wrong, and like spending WHOLE DAY just thinking how it has to be, BAM we finally worked somthing out. I wanted that piped of the header where as much equal as they could be. So, i hade to move my radiator in fron a bit, to have more place for my turbo. Anyway, pics say more that any word, so here ya go:

I think your diameter is probably ok, it might not be optimal, but its really hard to do something like that and make everything work perfectly. It usually takes several attempts. The only thing I see wrong is you should have welded the pipes to the turbo flange before welding them to the header. In fact, you should always start at the flanges and work your way toward the middle. There are a number of reasons for this. First off, you can control the entry/exit angles of the tubes so that they point at the turbine the way you want, and exit the engine at the correct angle. And secondly, and almost more importantly, you can weld up the area inbetween the tubes on the turbo flange. Its really tough to do and I think its probably a lot easier if you have more room.
