Looking real good man! How much have you spent so far?

well lets see
16 elbows = 3.5x16=$56
3 1/2 feet of piping =$25
flange was off a old header = free
t4 flange = $19.99
2 wastgate flanges $20.00
ceramic coating $28.00 for a LB and i have enought left to do 10 more manifolds.
header wrap = $18.00 for 50ft and only used half.

grand total $167.00 and i have some stuff left over. coating, header wrap, tubing.

Great to see people still putting time into the 420a platform. I miss my eclipse but my goals were just to out there for the support the platform had at the time.

[Killa_dsm]

Wow great job, that looks amazing! Keep up the great work, I cant wait to see it in the car.

 

[Natedsmeclipse]

thanks it will be in the buy next month

 

[AWSlide]

you should make a support bracket for the turbo/manifold.
with tubing that long and that much weight the heat will cause the manifold to sag or crack.
looking real good though.

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Daaaaaamn there Natedsmeclipse... That thing is nasty And it sounds incredible too! Nice work man

 

[noV8undrDIShood]

hey man.. what did you use for that custom rad hose.. does it seem to be holding up pretty good?

 

[nothingfiction]

looks good man. it really does. sounds effin beastly too. now all ya got to do is get it dynoed because im dying to know what your pulling with that setup.

 

[dsm-onster]

yes i am going with two open wastgates 38mm and i am running a holset turbo i just want to do a top mount turbo i think they look bad ass!

Is that an h1e or h2e? I see the vband compressor housing.

hey man.. what did you use for that custom rad hose.. does it seem to be holding up pretty good?

Looks like metal..... welded together....

I dunno. It's just me.

 

[Boosted_talon98]

dude made props... amazing work

 

[#40Fan]

Good to see that you got it running. I was checking through your youtube account just last week looking for any new videos of it.

 

[Natedsmeclipse]

hey man.. what did you use for that custom rad hose.. does it seem to be holding up pretty good?

i used 16 gauge 1.5 still i bought a kit with a bunch of bends for an old project it was around $40. it worked out great i then gridded down the welds and sand them next i powder coated it with black it came out nice and is holding up good so far.

Amazing work

thanks it means a lot to me. after one of my friends shot me down on face book and said i don't know what i am doing.
