well, last weekend i finished my turbo header Atlast after few unsucsesfull attemts finally everything came smooth, welding marks are not the most beautiful, but im learning here it is - allmighty header for my T3





Im in a process of making downpipe and Carbon Fiber Intercooler piping So im gonna strike with full force and style this spring

[presure2]

the welds dont look so good,...but as long as it works that all that matters!!, youll get better at welding as you do more....good work doggy!

[Irishflame27]

i like it alot, looks great man!

[Consynx]

DoGGy, just a heads up before someone else says it...but you know the tubes are Supposed(emphasis on this word) be the same length, right?

as long as you find witha little little little restriction on the spool(more flow at cetain pts) then awesome

so he does have those pipes right?

but you should just take a grinder and smooth the welds out a lil if you can, i'm not sure if that would weaken it........

hmmm if that holds up then romas might be getting 7afe business lol

[Consynx]

ah, never knew that...makes sense i guess, but there's still like a time say they fire .5 seconds b/t eachother(1+4 and 2+3)
while 1+4 take .2 seconds to flow out, 2+3 take .1 to flow out
so you're still getting a bit of a absense of flow in there, right?

wow those welds are not pretty at all..you gotta tack weld the pipe first to make sure its good..then keep the hand super steady.....my alot of my family welds/metal works....soo i know a few things...might want to grind them down and then heat wrap the thing or chrome it for a sweet look....

how much would something like that go for?

[Hanyo]

ummm guys.. i think doggy knows his ****..

i remember from the last thread about grinding down the welds and that weaken the manifold.. and i think he tried his best in making them equal length.

btw doggy mad props..

just watchin out for the dogg-father

[Gilbert_619]

yeah i just showed my dad and he said not to grind the welds off....i will weaking it..even more cuz its going to have alot of heat to it....soo just sell that and make a nice one...hahah


anyways...how much would you guys pay for that?

[Consynx]

that...prob like 250-350
there's a stainless steel equal length one for sale on ebay right now with gaskets and just...yea
$610 with 2 days i believe

[doGGy]

firs of all, about the pipe lenght on GOOD actually VERY GOOD profesional made header they will be equal, but it still wount do as much.. cuz cilinders fire not at same time, so count and you will see.. About myne, i didnt care about pipe lenght, cuz almost ALL headers that are sold at ebay and etc are NOT equal pipe lenght... Cuz it is very difficult to make one like this.. About weld - i dont care at all, cuz they wount be visible at all, the first thing i care that it would hold the heat and it would be strong to take the weight of the turbo. I made this one for MY car not for sale sdo i just dont care If i grind them it will weaken it by ALOT, so no thanks

[Fox-N-It2]

your collector looks good. did you make it or buy one?

[doGGy]

[Consynx]

heh, i can't wait to see C/F intercooler piping

sounds spunky

[Gilbert_619]

is there a website where i can find the lengh of the piping and size i wouldnt mine taking on a project like this...just cuz i get bored alot..

doggy,
did you use a bar bender or did you have pipes bents already and just cut them up?

[Consynx]

make the length w/e...it doesn't matter, equilength is just what's perferred...
and i believe a 2" diameter? i could be wrong, but a search on google will tell.

the equal length matters more on a NA engine than one with FI. for someone who is just learning, that is a pretty good job. a lot better than i could do
