whered you get the water adapters?

 

you might want to talk to aaron at IntakeElbows.com for a custom sheetmetal intake you'll pick up quite a few HP just by switching the elbow

 

I think I know which one you are talking about. If your 1200lbs lighter you should see 9's easy on pump gas

 

I realy like those headers. Plenty of room for spark plug swaps.

 

I guess I was comparing that weight to a typhoon, and syclone is lighter so i'd be more like 900 lbs lighter

They are Meziere part number WP89U

 

you thought about E85 or methanol? If it's a track only car, your fuel options are wide open.

If you run methanol, you will not need an intercooler.

 

Slight understatement.

 

Very nice work, the Headers are great!!

 

try backing the heat down a bit and welding slower when welding the stainless. it will get rid of the gray color. looks very good though

 

Figures I would finish welding my down pipe today and be done welding stainless before I read this. I've been fighting that gray color thinking it was contamination doing it. I guess I know for next time.

 

Got my oil pan on, intake gasketed, headers on with gaskets and the crossover pipe one. Hopefully nothing has to come off again



Built my turbo support brace





Made up the down pipe. In hindsight I wish I would have done it out of aluminum. It would have been cheaper and saved over 10 lbs I estimate. To bad, but when I ordered the pipe I never realized it was an option.

 

Looks Good.

 

nice!!

 

very nice my two favorite things chevelles and turbos

 

Looks really good. That is similar to how I have my pipes in my datsun.

 

this will be a sweet setup. Was this chassis originally from N. California in Napa/Sonoma? I think I saw one like it for sale last year.

 

Yes it was in Novato, we trailered it 25 hours north into Canada.

 

Looks great! Nice job so far. You planning to run this car on the street or track only?

 

Some Updates

Got to mounting the intercooler and rad. Because of my wastegate I had to kind of sink the intercooler into the rad support. I had to section out the top of the support where my hood pins are and replace it with some tubing. The old metal was bent numerous directions and very flimsy.





Made the lower brace so everything is independant from the front clip







Did the final welding on the downpipe

 

After some initial trouble welding aluminum I went and visited a local guy I know who's tips got things moving in the right direction in a hurry. Started with the cold piping. I'm still waiting for the flange for the turbo so I couldn't do it all.





After doing all the pipes I thought I was doing pretty well so I tackled something that had me a bit worried to do. The radiator. Sawed off the upper neck, covered it with a piece of flat, then added the the 2 bungs.







The other side will get a -16 bung now once I get one

Whipped up some hoses to add a touch more color
