[8tsixt]

looks like the final product is going to be awesome! i love the thickness on the flanges. good job.

does the mock engine have headgaskets on it? it would change everything by maby 1/8 of an inch...

 

[John Wilde]

I would be interested in pricing.

 

[norbs]

It does not right now but we are going to put some in before final weld with the flex.

I will get back to you guys on price, we are in the middle of a few things and I still have to work out some different price packages. We are still in the building stage and when we finish I will have a better idea. I was really just looking for some feed back right now. Thanks for the interest.

Looks good here, I like the 2 1/2 crossover and the option to go 4 bolt is a plus if you can run a huge down pipe.

321 SS, coated, 4 bolt would be killer if the welds will not crack. It could change the whole class to big 4 bolt turbo's with big V Clamp DP's.

Acutally send me all the parts I can weld them together myself Would save on shipping costs

Will the OEM oil dipstick/tube work with the DS header?

 

[strikeeagle]

Wouldn't it be a good idea for a knowledgeable owner to provide this guy a TR to do his prototyping work on - so that there are as few nasty surprises as possible? I mean, I'd be happy to do it, but being in NY...

Hi Joel!

Hey Brian,

Not to change the subject, but have you ever done a set of LS-1 turbo headers (twin or single)?

Hey Brian,

I have not had a chance to do a set yet, the LS1 engines have not cought on in this part of the country yet. I know they are big in other parts. Depending on what they are in they could be built very similar to the regular small block chevy turbo headers that I build.

I have a question, we are looking at a couple of areas to put the flex joint.

Either above the starter in the straight section
or below the passenger header v-band.
Is there anything that is going to be in the way? The flex is only 4" long and just a little bigger than the crossover.

 

[Dusty Bradford]

The starter is on the passenger side. Maybe you meant driver side below the v-band. Definately put it on the driver side. There is all kind of room there. Once the crossover nears the starter and passenger header things get pretty tight. That's why the v-band on the crossover/passenger header might be very difficult to get too since that connection is right by the frame.

hey brian
if we can get you a set of the old ATR SS headers can you make them that way. They look alot better than factor style
thanks

 

[TurboNova]

Sure, I could make another jig with what ever changes you guys want.

 

[CHANCE]

have you ever seen the ATR headers they look like the ticket to go with also if anyone has a set there not using right now can i borrow them to get this going thanks

 

[TurboNova]
