These are pics of the install of my new GT42-76

I converted my ATR 3 bolt to a 4 bolt. There is some grinding involved and some cutting too...

Down pipe will be built by me. The turbo outlet also has a flanged connector that has to be tigged to the IC pipe. A "V " band clamp holds it together.No hose is used in this connection.

May be more trouble than its worth..

Looks good Louie. I have the 3 inch V-band connection you need but I welded a 3.5 pipe to it for my GT47. I cut that V-band off when I swapped to the 98. You could have it but I don't think it's reusable the way I welded to it.

Ted,

I plan to be at Reynolds. Yeah the turbos look very much alike. I wish that my motor looked as nice as Cals though. Its the details that makes it so nice

Russ,

I don't know where Cal gets some of those dress up ideas.

Boo.... V-Band Clamp please!!!

Just a nother way out,If you want to swap turbos around at the track or dyno for testing that band clamp is an issue,Unless you mad an adaptor from a flange to hose for other turbos

He can always swap it out with a GT47!

Those Adel Wiggins clamps are cool looking but they are crazy money..

Im commited to this project so im going to do the weld on flange. I do have a way around swapping the turbo if i had to.

Len,
The coating waas done by a friend of ours that has begun a coating business in Orlando. He told us it was comparable to jet Hot 2000. Cal would know exactly.

 

[Otto J]

Whos Adel Wiggins? Is she hot? :biggrin:

 

[Louie L.]

I dont know but she sure is proud of her stuff. Must be real good ...

 

[S2V6RACER]

I wonder if Cal has the weight difference of the wiggens setup vs. standard hose/clamp setup??
