no i thought your car was fresh and had no rust. Last pics i saw of it it still looked siqqq. And 89 turboed i didnt get pics with it yet because its not finished. Im trying to work on the collector, do you know somewhere i can get a jig or somthing? Im trying to make one out of schedule 40 mild...Originally Posted by RobT5580

Y not have someone make just the collector for you? Or maybe just cut it for you?
thats what i need, either or. All the pre fab ones ive seen are in stainless...

so how far have you gotten? Have you welded anything together?
What shops you got local?
You have a band saw? Maybe you can cut em urself.....
My car use to be fairly mint but i left it out when i blew the turbo motor and it took a beating. I was ok with what i had but i found more in the wheel well that adds up to more money. I was never to concerned with rust because i always planned to re-paint.
Im either gonna fix it or get a better chassis i will see how things go. I want to get the ball rolling on my B20A block because i still have a ways to go if i want to be boosted again in 2008.
i made my own jig for the collector,there not 100% perfect but they will do the job.
i am using mild sch40 also. I got extra pipe so send me a pm with your needs.
here is a few pics of my manifold project.
spare block and spare t3 for mockup.
the wood represents the maximum amount of room in the engine compartmentand it is also holding the turbo in it's finnished place.

i hott glued a 3" aluminum 90deg bend to represent the down pipe..lol
well here you go a start of a verry different manifold.
top veiw
lower diag. pic. this is the one i like.
the ghost jig i made for the collector.
i'll see if i can get it all mocked up by the weekend.
Looks good man keep it up.
I'm certainly looking forward to see what way those bends are going to make their way up to the flange. It's a very different one for sure!
just make sure you dont have the compressor side too much above the turbine side or the turbo is gonna smoke. Looks awesome soo far though

damb it's going to be like that!(as i mumble waterpark)
all those bends were nessasary for the lenth of primarys i was looking for.
i got a tial wg, it'll probably be installed on the lower side of the collector.I may order another one and run 2.

Wow...that is definitely something. Not knocking the design, but curious as to why you didn't do a normal topmount? And just so you know, you can get the 90deg weld els for 5-7$ a piece sch 10 or sch 40 in 304, and it's a little more, like $9 a piece for 316/316L..
that's why i started this thread. i wanted opinions...
i guess it is kinda ugly.
that's why you call it a mockup.
i guess i'll redesign it.
