Hey Revvin, What type of steel are the downpipes made out of?

 

88t2romad's is 304SS, his is however not getting coated, thats why we did 304SS. We are going to use Mild Steel for yours, but it will be coated. I did do a downpipe for another customer on here, to4tii, that was just mild steel and uncoated, and that has lasted as a DD/3-400rwhp(depending on boost) for over 10k miles. However I won't do Mild steel uncoated again. A mild steel coated downpipe will work just fine, and I actually prefer that to uncoated SS in the downpipe application( for one much cooler underhood temps, etc)

 

that downpipe looks like its aluminum and tigged.. thats strange looking. lol

 

Al downpipe superlight weight! Especially after it melts LOL

 

cant wait to see them lines!!

Alum DP FTW!

 

Soon!

Brandon you can spot the begining of yours back there..

 

i an an 81 housing

 

?

 

that looks like a .81 a/r turbine housing on that FD engine

 

P trim 1.0

 

interesting. looks really similar to my .81 ptrim!

anyways, nice work!

 

Yeah I see that, looks good, can't wait!! Not too sound stupid, but you do know that my car is a FC right? That setup will look so much better then my other one. Which reminds me I need to get ready to sell my XS exh. manifold......

 

Yea I just used that FD engine to clearance something on the manifold..

 

i *see an 81 housing

woops. lol

 

lil update, hardlines are almost completed

 

Thank Bush for delaying your boost.

 

awesome start to what looks to be a great motor! not to sure about the hardlines... but im partial to stainless line and AN fittings

 

i would have some sort of support brace holding up the turbo. just a thought.

 

The lines are going to be braced along with the turbo.

 

I saw those oil lines at the shop, It looks really clean. The bends are really smooth for minimal restriction. Cant wait to get mine done...

which reminds me Elliott, where are my F-in pics?!

 

nice project i was thinkin about getting a GT35 turbo but am still undecided keep posting updates interested in how it turns out

 

I am going to use TFE line, atleast for the oil feed up to the hardline. However what do you think happens to the rubber hose inside the SS braid after a lot of heat cycles next to a turbine housing glowing cherry red? Hes going to AutoX this car, and can't risk a line breaking.

 

So I'm finally updating this thread. I will let the pictures do most of the talking.

Pineapple oil pan.



New front and rear sway bars and end links.





Modified WP housing for GT35R water lines. All work on turbo and lines done by Elliot @ www.Turblown.net



Heat shielding I got from summit racing. I havn't seen it on too many cars, so I figured you guys might like it or want to order some.



Did I mention I HATE wiring?? Not so clear wiring diagrams are driving me nuts. Send me a pm if you can offer a little help with wiring up the tps for a LT-10.



I'll get pictures of my KG fuel lines/rails when I get new injector o-rings. My old ones are cracked and very hardened. Im going to run a 750/1600 combo.

 

I love Elliots work, it's like car ****. T2Nomad's whip is pretty tight!

 

I don't know if I showed off my new rims yet, but here they are.
