The twins are ready

[KendallF]

No, it's not a Hugh Hefner special pictorial.

However, I have the turbos ready for my T-type. John Craig did his usual great job in going through them and swapping to more suitable .69 A/R exhaust housings. He did ship them without the V-band flanges so I had to take the housings off and weld those on. I was worried about the cast welding but we used some 309 rod and they came out beautifully.

Nice welding Kendall...If i could just figure out what all the knobs do on my welder maybe i could weld like that : ) Do u know what size tungsten you used?

 

[KendallF]

I actually can't take credit for those welds...I guess I was using the managerial "we".. I got a local guy, Todd, who owns SpeedCraft to help me out. He does a lot of turbo installs on ricers so he gets a lot of practice with the TIG. I think he had a 1/8" tungsten in but can't swear to it.

I still wonder about some of those knobs too. Like the one to adjust pre-flow and post-purge..what the heck do you do with that?

Its always been a dream of mine to do Twins.

Damn, I missed the obvious "Goldmember" reference! I wish it'd been pictures of "Fook Mi" and "Fook Yu". Austin Powers is shagadelic, baby.

Hi Kendall,

Am I gonna get to see the twins in Bristol in a few weeks? Car ready? If not we'll be in the Holiday Inn parking lot drinking after hours sure we will hook up.

They're 60-1s, Steven. I have about 100 ci less than you do to spin them with but I hope it does OK.

I can't wait to hear how it goes. Mine are a touch bigger at 66's but i think your motor will have no problem spooling, should be a blast to see how it all comes out.
