Well I have been busy with the business lately and while trying to keep the production line going of head and engine builds, and the local repair/modification I have somehow found some time to work on my own car. I am building the manifold for a 17cm^2 60mm HX40. The way I wanted the turbo to sit required getting rid of the front end. So I cut that off...
While brain storming for the turbos placement I decide I should go do some tig welding and get all my -an bungs welded onto everything I needed.
Well then I knew I should start working on the manifold so I found the placement I wanted
And started piecing the manifold together.
And I ran out of stainless so I put another order in at ACE stainless.
But then I had some time today waiting for some parts to get in for a head so I started on the front end. I didn't like how flimsy the top section of the front end was so I cut it off and I will just build my own. It is fully detachable. I welded a plate to the frame with two hole in it. Welded to m8 cap bolts to the back side of the plate and cut 2 plates with matching holes and welded the bars onto that
