so is the twin in yet or still in build stages.. what HP you recon you'll get? And what turbo setup is that??? skyline or something?
still building stages mate. turbos and dump are all bolted in. the turbos are straight off a 1jz. not sure on hp but turbo tb42s usually go pretty good. they boost up at 1100 rpm on the 2 litre so it will be interesting to see how it goes. real small turbos but theres 2 of:bananadancing:
bugga me.. there is a set with joining manifold for $200 on ebay atm...:icon_bonk: (edit, located in miami...)
cheap as..
ill be watching with interest.. twin turbo TD42 anyone???
and not to down a sweet project, coz you do look like a welder by trade, but i hope your using the thinnest pipe. normal water pipe will crack threw the welds as it heats so slowly, you need it to heat up all at the same time..
Normal cast manifolds don't have this issue because there cast.. And many after marked manifolds are stainless..
Yeah thats about what i paid for mine with a dump pipe to fit a celica and other bits. The bloke didnt know what to say when i told him what they were going on. Yeah my mate was told the same thing when he made his manifold he had a 4.5 gu turbo. And its steam pipe we ordered in not just any old water pipe out of the shed. He used to have his red hot and go through creek crossings. Never cracked ever. So guess we will just see haha. :confused::cool:
Yea fair call.. you may be right as you have a bit of length to each pipe. I thing the biggest culprits are the manifold hugging headers which are just steam pipe preformed bends and T's welded together.. so not much room for expansion..
But yea, cool...:cool:

Yeah thats true. Well we will see. You can say i told you ao if it does end up cracking :D
Any heres my bars i paid 500 for both. Bit rusty but when i send them to the sandblaster and give them a coat they should look sweet. And my sliders my mate made for me.

Plate welded onto the chassis and bolts to that. He had the same setup on his and had the whole weight of the car on them and they never budged. My sills are already rooted also haha. Yeah i love the rear one.
Just because i keep refering to my mates old car
That's a cool colour...
Nice and clean but heavily modded..

Yeah it was pretty good. There 40' creepys on 17' rims haha. Wild set up but worked so well.
Mounted my intercooler tonight and little cooler for the power steering. Going to mark out and cut holes for the piping later too
remember plenty of pics....

Yep, live in tomorong at the old moto farm house at the moment. Straight out the back gate and into great tracks

What ignition should i run???
Something sealed... The biggest issue I see with all petrol 4bys is water in the coil packs and then there no bang..
So don't cheap out here..
As for brand.. I'm a diesel man sorry.. :p

Mate im running pentronix in mine and its loves water its a TB42. It had points before and what a hassle.
Yeah im thinking pertronix ingnitor 2 and the flamethrower coil. Get rid of the points and its needed for the turbo i think
Quarter chop! im about to have a go at it. any special spot it should be cut? illbe welding the bottom plate in too. not the stupid silicon and rivet job.
just edit the swears mate, then its all goodQuote:

1/4 chop is quite easy. If you buy the pre cut ones from eBay then follow there instructions..
If doing it yourself the cut where ever.. leave about 10mm to form a lip and fold it under before welding.. itll make welding it so much easier..
Yeah sorry about that. Yeah im going to do it myself. Im just not 100% if theres an exact spot to cut. Or fold. Pretty much just under the body line i guess. I wasnt going to worry about folding a lip. Ill just tack the plate on all the way around and grind it back and give it a paint. Bit of silicon on the inside should be sweet
Idea , get a compressor from a set of red airhorns and set in down via a needle valve of some description .
drill small hole in side of dizzy and silicon hose in it. Just hit the switch just before water hazzard and pressurize
Dizzy with small psi and hit the water should keep dizzy water free, There used to be a product out a while back
that you sprayed all over dizzy Cant recall name but sales guy took top off my dizzy big Accel number on 350 chev
Threw in cup of water closed it and told me to hit the start button. Blow me down started and never farted once
Ive seen people set up an airline from a locker compressor to their dissy. They put a restricter so it only runs a constant 2 or 3 PSI which gives the dissy a positive pressure and stops water getting in. Too much mucking around for me, plus i dont have a compressor setup.Quote:

Cheers guys! That dizzy idea is the best. Never would of thought. Might have to try it one day. And cheers for them links. Now looking at it the folded in thing looks really neat. The mudrhino website helps too.
Also got my gas research throttle bodys on the mail today. Almost paid the full price for a new one looked on fleabay and got 2 s440s and a 90 bend for $150 delivered! Now to order some stainless and plumb everything up.
