Whats your thoughts??? to big? Not big enough?

I've water cooled the fuel fail, and have a manifold cover that is also water cooled on its own separate cooling system.
40nb primary's, 4 into 1 in firing order, 50nb from collector, S366 Borg warner turbo, 3.5" exhaust outlet, 40mm Tial wategate still to be fitted. The reason for the top mount was purely for room on the conversion I'm doing. Its a 4wd winch challange truck.

Woops...I was amazed at the looks I didn't resd the full post....the exhaust housing looks close to the intake no??? Might just b pics or you might wanna slap a blanket on it

You're gunna need to coat or wrap them... they come awful close to the valve covers.

Cool idea though for sure! What are they made of Sch 10 mild steel?

That is a wild setup!!!!
Quite ingenious too, I like the water cooled fuel rails, they remind me of the newer boat exhaust manifolds that are water cooled.

That would be a serious setup for the street too, instead of a big old roots blower sticking through the hood you could cut a hole for your hairdryer.

Nice work!

Its made from Mild steel, I wanted something different, although its close to the manifold i believe i have enough cooling setup to defeat that. So far no real negative feedback, so i guess that's a good thing!!

I like the idea. No idea how it would preform, but id love to hear the results!

Have you thought about using like a pair of 5th gen camaro's manifolds facing up? It would elimenate a whole lot of those joint pipes which are potentially and highly prone to crack.

I did toy with that idea, but decided, it was to Ghetto looking, not saying mine looks better, just thought id give it a go!! Welds should not be a problem the manifold mateiral is 3mm wall, and all tig welded.

very cool!

wrap it all and get a ebay turbo blanket, looks badass and I really think it will work well for you

Where did you get that thick wall manifold material? I have a use for that now.

Thank you,

Thanks for all the positive replies
My mate can sew me up a blanket, got the material and the special thread. As fot the Material, there called but weld bends here in Australia, threre about $8 each, i used 40nb (Nominal Bore) for the primarys.

Wastegate fitted, Ive never fitted one before i hope its close enough to the turbo intake,

Don't forget you can drain your turbo to your valve cover too.

Was looking at that, and using the original oil pressure gauge as the supply

Where is the cooling water for the inj rails coming from??
If it's from the radiator, my ?? is why would you want to add heat to the fuel, returning to the tank?
If it's gas, it'll boil at less than common engine water temps.

Separate cooling system, raptor radiator and electric pump, just like an air-water inter cooler
