My bad, I did misread the question. They were milled from aluminium on a 3 axis cnc mill.

Oh and the lower portion is back from the welder. Looks amazing, I just need to smooth down the welds and I'll be ready to work on the plenum body.

Welds inside the runners. I put a large v groove in the parts to ensure lots of penetration. The welding was done by a local fabricator that is much better at this type of welding then I am. http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/17.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/18.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/19.jpg After about an hour with the die grinder everything is smoothed back out. I'll go over it tomorrow with a higher grit just to clean it up cosmetically. In the final picture you can set the outside of the runners. I really like the result of doing the welds this way and having the manifold look like one piece. http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/20.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/21.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/22.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/23.jpg |
Very interesting way to have it welded up.
|
^Only way that works is if you get great penetration, however you have to be very carefull with the regrinding. Looks good! :bigthumb:

Moar!!

unfortunately i also have a hard time seeing the M90 put down anywhere near 350WHP, some people have used them but put down closer to maybe 250WHP.

Any updates level 0 ?

This weekend some friends came by and while poking at the car, one pointed out I might be able to fit the m90 on the OEM manifold with an adapter. I had all the cad files I needed to whip up a design so I made this up today. I still plan on finishing the manifold, but this will work as a good solution for now. and also let's me start working on the pully's. http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/33.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/34.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/35.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/36.jpg http://levelzeromotorsports.com/blog...gs/blog/37.jpg |
lol almost looks stock :P
personally it would still be nice to have the offset incase you do go with a IC later down the track :) |
sc
I have a 87 gxl na and a 89 supercoupe Thunderbird I was wondering if this was possible. the m90 can easily spin over stock setup by ford ( pulley ) not uncommon to see 5% and mostly 10% overdrive on them. I was getting 18lb boost on stock pulley and blew head gasket. with higher compression rotors more rpms and the fact it came off a 3.8l. I would think you need a turbo block or lower compression for it to not blow somewhere. Making your own pulley would help. Seems you have the resources to do so. I will be watching this closely.
|
Nice quick job on the adapter. how does it line up with the rest of the pulleys?
|
this is bad ass i will keep checking up on this very iNtrested to see final dyno pull

here is a idea. use the stock fd pulleys so you can use a nice 5 rib belt. i have some i can hook you up with possibly.

machining your own pulleys would be nice. I got the atkins 6rib kit for a project like this, that money hasnt existed for yet.
|
want to sell me one of those Supercharger adaptors? it seems like you have the means to make them easily
|

if you are considering selling parts when you get somewhere with this I have a spare m90 laying around and the atkins 6rib pulley kit already ; ) just started suspension first.
|
Since I've been doing abit of research on this, if the M90 is right on the manifold where would the Bypass valve go?
