Lol! I know, but I'm just getting good at posting pics!
Was such a sigh of relief to know that all the harness /wiring of the car and heads off/cam change , that I actually did it right
Well, spent today screwing up more stuff than things I made right, the braket to hold the s475 is kicking my ***! I'm making something that bolts to the back of the head to help out the hot side with supporting this big bitch.
If I ever do another turbo build , it will be twins. Physically smaller twins.
I'm not sure I ever really envisioned making the braket , buy it wouldn't have been this pos I'm making. ....it will be strong, it will do the job, but she gonna be ugly.
I shouldn't even be showing this ,but here is the start......
It's being "built"..... from 1/4" plate, and will be made to bolt together so the braket itself can be removed without having to take the up pipes off with it as one peice
Well, here it is.... 1/4" plate steel and you can still make it wiggle, one the rest of the hot side is on there will be no more wiggles lol
Just didn't want this hanging off manifolds alone, should be plenty strong
So I'm at a stand still on the up pipes till I get more bends in, I called all over my area and no luck. ......so I switched to the down pipe /rest of exhaust and it's almost done
It all looks great man.
I think you can just Put the video on utube then share the link-?
Wheels look really good of course!
Just an idea on maintaining a consistent height on your custom oval piping - use a length of ripped 2 by 4 ( cut to your desired height) then crush to that inner spacer (?) .... if there is a concern for distinct edges from the inserted wood just hit it ( the wood) with a router ( 1/4 round over bit).
I've been watching your build and every time I do I giggle. This thing is going to be very cool! And if that's an ugly bracket, I've been building those for years. You dressed it up nice. I like the new wheels and tires, but I'd have to sport some 15 inch steelies and blackwalls and go hurt some feelings with that bitch.
