Also did the dumps from the wastegates

 

looks like its coming along real nice.

 

I got them from a local shop here in sweden!

you should be able to find equal in your country...

or else i could send you some bends

 

Looking really good Gustav! Now we will have 2 more wastegates marks on the floor in the dyno room Not to speak about the sound when the 2 opens Should be a nice hearing for the neighbours

looks great! but one question, why is the one dump tube going up and over the other when it looks like it could just go down? or is the subframe in the way?

 

Yes there was no room for it to go the same way.

I will take a picture when its on the car, then you'll see

 

Looks great! even better IRL! =)

 

update?

 

most of it is finished, got all the parts on coating now, because of christmas and new year everything takes extra time

within a few weeks ill get her on the dyno and then we'll see how much boost i dare to run

 

gaaah... can't make up my mind whether to make a new 4" full exhaust or staying with my old 3".... feels wrong to stay 3" but i don't want to make my ears bleed more than they do when im out criusing..


What to do?

 

i've done a couple full 4" exhaust on bridgeports and it really wasn't that bad!

as long as there are no exhaust leaks and the muffler exit a little past the bumper it wont resonate and drone inside the car. Outside..... that's another story but who cares!?!?!?!! hahaha

 

Great lookin project you got goin there!!! Makes me wanna get out and work on mine....now if i can just get some money to finish it lol

Cant wait to see how your setup works. I've got a very similar setup I mean....VERY similar!!

 

You need to finish that thing!!!!

 

Yeah 09 is the year for sure Its only been like 10 or something!! haha I've been too busy messin with the quad and Rhino lately

 

What type of welder are you using? what brand?

 

Also what kind of TB are you using? I love your welding, and your setup is godlike to me. I hope to build my car just like you did

 

Thanks man!

I can't deny that i got the weldon setup idea's from your project, i hope you don't mind

 

wow, kind words! thank you!

I'm using a 200amp ac/dc welder, china brand for a couple of hundred bucks.. been working for 2 years now.

 

i just had to polish it

hopefully i'll get back all parts by friday.

 

Looking good Gus!

 

Yes, I agree that it seems wrong to choke the 4" down to 3". If you want to maintain the surface area of a 4" pipe without all the noise, consider running a pair of 3" pipes. The area will be slightly more so you'll have similar flow (or better), and the noise reduction will be better than you can achieve with a 4" pipe.

 

Did you polish that yourself or have it professionally done?

It looks great!

Chris

 

no no, i don't have the patience for that.. it was done by a local polishing guy, it took him 3 hours

 

Not at all now i know why it looks so familiar I can't wait to see how it turns out being that we're so similar.

 

Finally i got my stuff back!

hopefully i get to start her by tomorrow night
