If you bought a kit, or know where one is, I just want the manifolds.. PM me.. Yeah.. I may have another trick up my sleeve:grin:..
If you are starting from scratch change the flange on sbc turbo headers. They would work better than the log style Burton manifolds if you want to take it up a notch this time around. GL Derek
I really hate that my only showing was so bad. I should have run mid 11s or better. I need a project.. I ran 7.70s all day at 92-93 in the 1/8th.. In Ohio with the engine in self destruct mode due to my ignorance, I ran a 13 flat at only 100..
Buy the turbo kit, engine, and trans and you get the car for free: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...or/1039862005?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
I have a set of flanges here i could sell you, and i could help measure stuff for you if you wanted to make a setup? As you know there is not a lot of room its a tight fit... The last kit mark built was mine and he said he wished he had came up with that simple design right off the bat... Is it 100% ideal no but plenty good for 600+ hp
I don't have the skills necessary to weld something like that. I was thinking of taking the old logs and having the pipe for the wastegate eliminated. Then just using a internally wastegated turbo to further simplify things..
The first kit ever made used internally wastegated turbos. PAIN to fit as your options for clocking are limited. I've been considering reissue of the manifolds though. Kept all the welding gear when I closed up shop...:TU:
Thanks guys. So, what do we think? Any interest in manifolds still? I want to do a set all stainless using weld els. All TIG welded too. Then offer a mild steel version of the same, again, all TIG. Maybe revisit the internal wastegate idea. Sure miss the car. Glad Sean ended up with it, but still miss it. If I'd had the $ I would have bought it back instead!
I know there is interest in the kits! Once i start driving your old car around and racing it more interest will be created. Blake who bought my old car is going to make some waves with that car as well!
