Well I really haven't done anything in the last forever, so last night I took 2hrs out of my busy couch sitting schedule and drank 3 beers (the beers were just MGD in a bottle, so I didn't bother taking pics) and tacked this together. If I think about it I will take some pics as I finish it up, but it will be completely tacked together and fitted this evening.

I would have done the connector pieces last night, but I don't have a chop saw at home, and don't trust myself to cut straight with an angle grinder. With any luck this will be on the dyno on Saturday in Red Deer.

As you will be able to see, I still have to square the end of the collector. It is a completely divided setup. There will be an external gate still to be added tonight.

What's it for?

I suppose I should have put this in the Fab section...

Finished pics will be Saturday, going to fit it tonight, and finish tacking.

id like to see how you expect to do those 2 inner cylinders, me thinks you wasted 2 good elbows.

That collector is just laying on the flange, that's why he said he needs a chop saw.

do work son, the tripple charged cummins better be next

It is all tacked now, but I was too lazy to find the camera, so I will take pics on Saturday when it is done.

The head will crack before a mild steel sch 40 pipe splog will.

On another note, I make horrific plasma cuts after 7 beers, I have lots of hrs on the die grinder tonight.

looks good so far. in for finished pics!

very nice, i like

dvst8r · « **Reply #13 on:** September 24, 2009, 11:47:40 PM »

Well tonight it was whiskey and some ginger ale.

All tacked sitting on a 12v head.

Same thing different shot. Can you spot the three holsets in the box? Bonus points if you can tell me which each one is.

Flange broken off for finish welding (poor order of operations lead to some fun putting it back together, what can I say I'm kinda rusty.)

Manifold with Flange broken off, awaiting finish welding.

All welded sitting in front of a 72mm, and a 74mm turbo. Yes I collect turbo's

Couple more shots of the same thing.

Other then drilling and taping an egt probe, it is done and will be installed tomorrow. Next week it will be all pulled back apart, another 5 egt ports and 2 drive pressure ports will be drilled and tapped, and an external gate will added. Then when I get back from Ecuador in Oct. I will begin building 2 more. One with the same T3 flange but with sch 40 1.25" runners, and one the same but with a T4 flange. These will all be extensively data logged against a stock 24v manifold, and against a commercial available after market T3 flanged ATS manifold.

At the end of the day 4 years since doing fab on a daily basis sure shows...

You don't count, you have seen them in person. Your only bonus points are if you can tell me how many blades each of the compressors have, and the size of the turbine housings.

sell me your tig if your not going to use it

Trick question they all have 7 blade compressors and the hx's have 12cm^2 turbine housings but one is vgt

dvst8r · « **Reply #19 on:** September 25, 2009, 12:36:35 AM »

So close, two have 8 blades one has a 7 blade, the rest is correct.

i have the same big turbo as you do the one on the right, idk wtf id ever use it for, kind of looks inefficient for a gas motor... i want that dam garret, what are the specs nog

dvst8r · « **Reply #22 on:** September 25, 2009, 10:14:34 AM »

The big turbo on the right is a Holset HT-60, with any luck it will be on Trevor72's cleavland over the winter.

The one on the left is a GT-4294, it has a 1.32 T6 exhaust side.

90turboteg · « **Reply #23 on:** September 25, 2009, 12:01:45 PM »

hmm i think a gt42 would go good on my pos fox i will just crank the boost to nog and wait til the block cracks

dvst8r · « **Reply #24 on:** September 25, 2009, 12:06:15 PM »

It would take about 7psi to crack a stock sbf block with the GT-42.

They are easy to find as they came on a ton of detroit diesels.

One day the "bench" will run again, and I can build a proper work area where it is...

The worst part about the "bench" is that it leans, and I couldn't find bolts to fasten down the flange on the head while I welded it, so it was a lot slower then I wanted.

Did those drawings I re-sent you open this time?
