December 16th, 2011 - I've received some sneak peek pictures of the turbo manifold yesterday. Walker Morgan from www.MPFab.com did an excellent job.
Here are few pics from the pics he sent me! http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...Bmanifold3.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...Bmanifold2.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...Bmanifold4.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...Bmanifold1.jpg Its made with Stainless 321, which Walker did his magic on them to look like this... Not sure if many of you seen how 321 comes form suppliers, but they looked horrible. I'm heading over to the shop on monday to take some high res pictures with my dslr and also bring him the mid pipe and catback for him to test fit to make the DP. Those of you who haven't heard of MPFab.com, he has worked on several exhaust systems for high end SEMA cars and custom hot rods. He also developed turbo kids for bikes and other sport compact cars. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...enny/MPFAB.jpg For more information about them, go visit: www.MPFab.com |
I want to pet the manifold, can I pet it?

Walker always amazes me with his welding abilities, i feel like im watching a master fabricator in the making, i remember when he 1st started learning how to build turbos back in the day @ turbo specialties with Bryan, now they both have shops of their own and they both do superb work now
|
December 19th, 2011 - I went by MPFab.com this morning to drop off my titanium catback and a midpipe so, he can start working on the turbo placement and DP. I also had a chance to take a look at Walker's handy work. Man was I impress with his fabrication skills :)
Here are some better pics I've taken. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7.../manifold2.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7.../manifold1.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7.../manifold3.jpg I have yet to see bottom mount turbo set up on a rotary and I'm excited to see how all is going to turn out! |
Wow, so the turbo will actually be positioned down low as shown in a couple of previous posts? Should be VERY cool, not to mention the benefits of moving the heat source away from the engine block AND shortening the hotside piping to your IC. I take it that you're planning a front mount? Cant imagine there's enough room in there for a vmount IC.
Can't wait to see more progress. It will be interesting to see how they route the DP. BTW, manifold is sick bro. Can't recall if I've ever seen welds THAT nice. |
Its not quite welded yet :) Just tacked.
We are going for a V mount set up. Its going to be interesting but I think it will work.. and also retain the hood latch :) Mr. Walker Morgan (from www.MPFab.com) is pretty amazing fabricator and have done some cool stuff before.. including exhaust system for my Eunos Cosmo (dolphine tip). I will keep you guys updated on the build... |
Hmmm, I'm needing to get a manifold fabricated now also. And that one looks AMAZING so far.

December 22nd, 2011 - I went over to MPFab to check out the manifold progress and lend a hand if needed (not that I can do much). We also wanted to test fit the turbo and get some measurements and clearance.. But in order to finish everything up, I need to get the new steering rack. Anyhow, here are some Walker Morgan's handy work (www.MPFab.com) http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker02.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker01.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker05.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker03.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker15.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker13.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker09.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker21.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker19.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...1/walker18.jpg |
I'll PM you, Phil.
I keep forgetting you're mounting this turbo upside down, it keeps throwing me off LOL. That manifold is gorgeous. |
Scavenger pump in the works for that turbo setup?
