Re: Got my header flanges Well let me make my prediction.
The first time the car actually hooks the 12 bolt will strip every tooth. The teeth will cause the rear to lock up. The driveshaft(the cheapest part) will hold <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> causing the internals of the T-56 to disingrate. Now, the trans will lock causing the clutch to explode in the bellhousing. The motor will free rev because you haven't got your foot off the gas yet.(this is happening very quickly) The crank seizes and locks a piston in the cylinder just as that cylinder fires. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> Bye-Bye heads and block. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Oh, bye-bye wallet also. See above. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Maybe we should start calling your car "daisy-cutter"

What kind of Heads/Bolts/Studs/Gasket setup do you have now? and what kind do you plan on having in the future?

Re: Got my header flanges right now, they are stock 2000 ls1
graphfoil gaskets, torque to yield bolts
the plan is LS6 heads, '02 metal gaskets, fasteners yet to be determined.
I will try OEM first, then ARP bolts, then studs, then i'll weld the heads on <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: Got my header flanges You may also need to support the turbos with header instead of the manifolds. Thats a lot of weight and thermal expansion on the headers which could cause them to crack.

Re: Got my header flanges I know <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
i'm fully aware i will have the potential for cracks. I'm aware i may need to R&R them during the year to repair cracks.
I own a TIG, so i'm not concerned.

Harlan, I had been wondering if you realized what the main result of this project is going to be (breakage!). Obviously, you are well aware <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: Got my header flanges I think Harlan enjoys breaking stuff. I've never seen someone as happy or proud as he was when he snapped his driveshaft at Grand Bend last summer <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />
Re: Got my header flanges Y2KHalk once you get your manafolds done you need to make prints of them and post it. That way we can start making are own twin turbo kits.
Or maybe do a write up of your new "lighter" turbo kit that would rock! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
