Default new twin turbo headers

since ive decided to rebuild my headers, im also changing the design, made this header this afternoon with my new tig, sorry for the crappy pics, but you get the idea

turbos are being relocated to right infront of each head, with the air filters facing forward

well im gettin my heads back tomorrow, so i can do the other header, hopefully no longer than 2 weeks till its back up and running...i was running the new comp beehive springs for about 20 min. and 4 of them broke, comps warrantly dept. said there were borderline too small (they recomended them...wtf?), so the heads came off to check for piston to valve contact...it was all good...but there still at the machine shop getting all set up with the new springs...so it only ran for like 20 min, no numbers or anything

specs are 234/234 .577/.577 on a 114LSA

wow, that sucks sorry, I ran mine, but on a stock engine, only lasted two days, and had a line melt, waste gate snapped shut, and boom, 30 psi on 10.8:1 cr. pulled hard though easy one second gain on 6 psi as well as 10 mph. Looking forward to the new engine, Cam is roughly the same size as yours, just a little bigger. heads are unported trickflows, rebuild will be as soon as my daughter is born, in the next couple of days, my wife is having contractions now so, soon, cant wait.

How much would it cost to have a couple sets of your new headers produced? I am sure there are lots of guys here that would be interested. If it went well we could use my car to mock up an LS1 set too

collectors $400
tubing $250
Flanges $80

after all the work ide say around $1100 to make it worth my time, the good thing about these headers...i think alot of the stock stuff can be retained with the turbos in this position, vs. moving everything on my old setup

haha ls1 fbody = more room = easier fab

im still tryin to get either a cnc version of my acc. bracket, or laser cut peices so i can produce those as a lot of people seem to want something like it

possibly...i think to get a price break you would have to order quite a few of these collectors, and $400/pr. is already very cheap for them.

i might be up for road atl, should be here all day tomorrow, and we've still got two bottles left from this weekend
