Thought I would mock up the 3.5" downpipe first before I figger where the wastegate is going to go.

I'm waiting on a 3.5" vband flange set which should be with me in the week so I can finish the downpipe when I have that

Topgear · 04-28-2012, 05:04 PM

You guys

Tonight I've managed to get the first wastegate pipe welded in on the manifold

On the second runner I'm going to come in from the otherside and bring them both togeather

Last nights work

Sorted both wastegate runners into a merge and the watsegate placement for feed back into the bottom of the downpipe.

I couldn't find the vband to match the hotside so I rewelded a 3.5" one in place

Topgear · 06-18-2012, 05:12 PM

Sorry not updated for a while

Here we go

Nearly there now just a few welds to finish and then I can move onto the oil lines and fuel system.

I did say above about routing the wastegate back into the downpipe..... Well I thought I wouldn't just to see if I like the sound

Anyway here is the piccys

Mini stack lol

Maybe stick a rotor in there lol

Not much to report at the min, I've ordered all my fuel fittings and I now have my fuel pot

I've had a local company re-weld my alloy rad so the spouts arent pointing towards the floor
