I'm looking for a 6 bolt block that I can use to mock up a turbo manifold on. It can be blown up with a hole in the side for all I care. New to the area, so I don't know all the DSM guys around here yet. Thanks.
Unfortunatly I am no longer making these or anything else for that matter. There were alot of personal things going on and just didn't have time for it anymore.
I travel 2 hours to come to it. I've been there the last 2 years and I like the location. Everyone always has a different opinion on how a meet should be. I for one like to just go hang out and chill, bullshit with people, and check out the cars. I don't like the cruises because people like to...
Friday night at Maple Grove, Tony ran a 6.85@195. On that run it was a 4.37@161 in the 1/8th. Saturday he ran a 6.86@195 to seal the deal on the new NHRA Comp I/Dragster record.It seems to be working very well. Nice, straight, smooth runs. Should be a good year.
1 1/4" will be good for that. You won't be moving enough air through it to need 1 1/2" runners. 1 1/4" will give you a quicker spool anyway because the air will be moving at a higher velocity.
You are correct sir!!Charlotte 4-Wide Nationals - turbo4.com 4G63 Dragster - YouTubePictures of setup.

Don't try to weld plasma cut edges and expect them to look nice. The plasma cutter screws up the aluminum. Use a shear or band saw. BTW, nice design. :)
It could be cracking because it was too hot and crystallized, or the aluminum is junk from being welded so many times and crystallized. You should use 4043 3/32 wire on it. If you use 5356 wire on it, I could believe it cracked. It has a tendency to crack. The thicker wire can help it not crack...
You can also have your issues if the ring gaps are all lined up or upside down. Jst do your leak down with the firing order and you will be fine. Once you do that, then decide what you need to do.
I had that same one. It is fine for REALLY thin metal. The built in air compressor sounds like a good idea, but it isn't. Just don't over work it. I hope yours last longer than mine did. I now have a 60 amp Hypertherm.
