[gsxeclipse102]

T3 topmount!!! Will v band inlets be an option?

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I'd bet a box of donuts that Kyle can fab whatever your imagination can draw up
Just a matter of having time since it looks like he's been a busy man!

Yes it will be in both gt30 and gt42sized vbands as soon as i figure out the shorty version of the collector

 

[DetroitStroker]

I will be in for one when I switch to a Divided bw s364. Great looking stuff

The borgs are a lot larger then the standard T04S covers, can't tell you forbsure if that will fit any of my manifolds without actually test fitting for myself... my mock up turbo is a precision 6466 with 1.15AR T4 divided or .82AR t3 open which is the external size of a GT35R sized turbo, thats not to say a larger gt42sized turbo won't fit, i just can't guarintee it will until i test it myself.

Tial Gt28/30 and GT40/42 Vband collector r&d today should be able to make any of my manifolds in vband now. and a dsm t4 manifold goin on, got a liquid argon setup and it's the beez kneez check out the silver cylinder in the last pic.

If you do not mind me asking (feel free to PM me).
How much did that run you? I'm 24, almost done with welding school, and would definitely not mind having a setup like that one day in the garage for the fabbening.....

There's an EFR 7670 IWG here I'd love to try out on a DSM...

So whats the deal with EFR just a t3 or t4 like any other turbo? Or does it have a special inlet flange?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Heres what i been up to lately, this is an evo8/9 forward facing vband maifold with hood exit tear drop dump tube, for carbonetics. Mounted on my dsm motor makes me wonder if it would work on a dsm also? Sure looks good on a 6bolt.

welding is beautiful...wished you had wire brushed the blue out then there would be tons more ohhs and ahhhs ...and a very nice job on the fab n fit ...that takes patience and skill

If you order one i can definately brush yours. Most people like the heat colors stainless produces. Brushing is more of an indistrial finish.

The IWG EFR 7670’s come with either a single scroll T3 or twin scroll T4 exhaust housing. The link bellow from BorgWarner shows the dimensions on the twin scroll T4 flange.

I hope someday I can pull off welds like this. I just picked up a tig and been practicing stringer beads for a week now on mild. So much fun

What vendor do you use for your mandrel bent 304 stainless? I can find 16ga but can't find anyone who sells schedule 40...


Also very nice work...
