my new stainless turbo headers

[boostedrs]

not done just yet but im getting there,316 stainless .065 wall thickness 1.5 inch primarys, with 3 inch collectors(made these myself and can supply them if anyone needs cheaper stainless 3 into 1 collectors ca\use burns gets about 255 a pair).
had to relocate my ps pump and alt to make evrything work.and i have room for a 3 inch downpipe on each side of the motor.can be used for a twin or single turbo setup.i started to do this project as a twin setup,but have since decided to go with one very large turbo









sorry about the crappy pics but i had to use a webcam on my laptop to get pics,once i get my reg digicamera back ill take some better pics.

not for the hp level and boost preasure im aiming for.the turbine is a lil large but the compressor shoudl work out well

Nice headers, those collectors look great.

Is there a reason you didn't connect the flanges? Well, more like starting with a flange that was already one piece.

I like the manifolds, but are you sure that's a GT40R? It doesn't look right... Compare your compressor cover and the way it mounts with pictures on the web of the GT40R...

actually yes,those are not the flanges that im using, i didnt have any stainless plate or flat stock to make my flanges when i started to build the headers,so instead of waiting i made 6 lil pieces out of 1/8 inch thick stainless so i could fab the headers,the headers are just tacked to those flanges,now that my real flanges are done i just break the tacks off,bolt the right flanges to the motor and tack the header tubes back on and weld them fully.

the new flanges are also in 3 separate pieces,the reason for this is its less prone to warping,if i made the flange one piece across id have to cut it down inbetween the cyls so it didnt rub against the plug wires,nwo it would be narrow in those spots,and the heat would try to make them warp.

Be VERY careful. That is NOT a real Garrett compressor housing.
