Happy new year to everyone!! You all know that a couple of years ago we decided not to make any more headers because the company took another direction towards stainless steel product fabrication. We recently got a bigger warehouse in which we can accomodate stainless fabrication on one side and and carbon steel in the other. When carbon steel dust gets its way into the stainless steel is just a matter of time for the carbon steel to stain the stainless. Since our products are mainly for pharmaceuticals purposes it was risk we could not afford, being this the main reason we decided to not work on headers anymore. Well in other words we are going to offer our regular line of products again, except that for now is only going to be headers only.

I have read through a bunch of the old posts but am still a little confused. Could you give an overview of what products you will be offering?

Thanks

Prices & Timing?

Will you be putting up the website again to show the products? And maybe a list of recommended parts to complete out the install?

Just got my header today. When he says heavy duty he means HEAVY DUTY. The thing looks like its made out of roll cage material. I don't think this thing could crack this thing if I wanted to.

I'm interested in a T4 single street setup, can you PM me a price and details regarding delivery timeline to CT (06360)? Thanks.

Im interested in the turbo design you guys had for the 3.1l v6, are there any plans you can send to show how your headers look and how I need to route the piping? Im ready to buy the headers now.

Sweet decision.

im interested in some headers for my 355...im in queens ny...all i need is the headers and you will probably need to kno which turbos i will be using so you can do the correct flange or do you have some sort of universal deal....pm me if you want or just reply here...but i am very interested....let me know...alex.

Glad that you are happy with it.
The header can be used as a hammer, dead weight or deadly weapon(if you can swing it).
Please post pics of your setup, I'm always anxious to see how the new projects are going!

By the way I am looking for a NOS system or 1LE front brake system or Wilwood, Baer, whatever. Want to trade for a header? I will hear the offer.

dont suppose your making the passenger side header and cross over pipe for the single turbo headers are you?

-cory

p.s. i have a nitrous kit.

Glad you liked it! Yes the header can also be used as a hammer, pry bar or for self defense



The website is going to be up anytime soon. For now we will be offering headers only, including driver's side and crossover pipe for single turbo aplication.


Reputation7, PM for a deal on the nitrous.

By the way here is how my car looks like today, is customized, modified (except engine block and internals) and of course; turbocharged! Interested in nitrous also just to see how much the stock power plant can handle. Currently; 418 rwhp with 565 pounds of torque @ 16psi of boost and 116,000 miles on the clock and going
The car weights about 3100 pounds

Do you have any pics of the turbo header for the 3.1L ? I need to know how I need to route the exhaust to be ready.

Here is a picture of the complete setup.

I plan on purchasing when I get the taxes around mid feb, it's just the header alone right? No piping?

Well, mainly do I get the piping to and from the turbo?

Yes, for now we will offer the headers only.

What size are the primaries? 1 5/8 or 1 3/4. Also can you provide the crossover tube? I am running a set of SLP shorties right now with 1 3/4 primaries. THis looks like a novel way to spend my incentive pay in march.

I think the header is built with weld-elbows. You are better off asking what size is the I.D. of the primaries and the log pipe.

What is the biggest downpipe that will fit with the V8 "V" Belt Single Turbo Header and a/c delete heater box?

The primaries ID are 1.375" dia. The crossover pipe is 2 1/2" dia. The biggest downpipe I had fit is 3" dia with A/C. I currently have a 3.5" downpipe which fits percfectly in my personal setup but I dont have A/C or even a 1LE A/C delete box, just an aluminum sheet metal.

Im going to be buying the turbo header for the 3.1l v6 once my check clears on monday, 2/4/08, am I correct to assume that the setup uses the stock manifold on the drivers side, swings down under the oil pan, comes up into the passenger turbo header, and then into the turbo?

1.375, Holy cow! why so small? So does BBS offer both pasenger and driver's side headers. Has anyone tried using a mix and match?

1.375" ID is typically what you will see on a 1 1/2" primary with 16 gauge wall. It takes a lot of work to use 1 1/2" weld-els (1.68" ID...same as 1 3/4" 16 gauge primaries). Half of the header building work goes into making the weld-el to header flange transition. That is why most people use the small weld-els.

Why only a an AR of .60 on the compressor size? for the single serp setup?

Thanks for the response junkcltr. That makes sense, and if I understand you right, that header should be similar in dimenstion to my SLP's

As for the compressor question: "why only an AR of .60?" Anything bigger and you may run into fitment problems with the head, valve cover, and hood. At any rate an AR .60 can get you close to 500hp. That power level alone is enough to require making other changes to the car to ensure that it stays together.

ok well that's good to know since I'm already getting close to 500 now and I do have the supporting hardware to make more than that. I'm wanting to run a T76. I guess I'll just have to make my own like many others.

Any interest in making some turbo headers for a Corvette C4?

If you built something that could fit without cutting up a $1200 hood,
I know a bunch of guys that would be interested.

Fax (787)760-9024

anesthes; I will seriously consider the C4 turbo/twin turbo project

Hi BBS! Few Simple Questions . . . .

Am I correct to assume that the setup uses the stock manifold on the drivers side, swings down under the oil pan, comes up into the passenger turbo header, and then into the turbo?

What are the diameters of the inlet and outlet piping?

Would you be able to create the setup without the external wastegate setup, I plan on using an internal wastegate, would it be cheaper on the price?

Good deal....

can you post some pics of your single turbo set-ups?

Thanks
Jason

Can you run fabricated aluminum valve covers with the single turbo v-belt setup? In all my research it looked like that the area between the stock cover and the turbo was really tight. If the tolerances are too tight for fabbed covers, could you perhaps put a small spacer/gasket combo between the header and turbo flanges to effectively "raise" the mounting of the turbo? Any help would be great 'cuz I already have the turbo header sitting in my garage!

It's a stout futhermucker too!

Kinda close (see pic), but I'm sure something can be done though....

Iam So ready to buy the turbo headers for thr 3.1l, however I left two messages for you to ask couple of questions and also asked them on this thread, can you please get back to me? As soon as the questions are answered I will do paypal that very second.

Any ideas?

Notch the area on the valve cover in which the turbo interfaces with it enough so that it can slide out w/out removing the turbo (about an inch over the valve spring). You can notch the lower end of it all the way down toward the other side of it for style, as well as doing the same thing to the other one to match. If you have a tig welder, it will be a breeze....

Similar to this, but all the way down the side of it for looks....

hows that website coming along?

Slow, but comming I am the "do it yourselfer" kind of guy and I barely had time this last couple of weeks to work on it.

Street Lethal; That is a very good idea with the valve cover! How is the whole projetc going?

Excellegions; I wrote you a PM a couple of days ago about the header, please reply.

What is a PM!? What is it you need to know? I didn't get anything. You can post here, e-mail me at excellegions@hotmail.com, or call me at 954-326-6445, ask for Lee.

one thing i was wondering was the flange on the headers that bolts to the head what kind of ports are on them? just wondering because there are many heads out there with different exhaust ports don't want to run into a bigger problem down the road i have GM fastburn heads.

Been cleaning up the engine bay some so far, had the 305 out, but then back in again because I need to use it as a mock up. Gonna have a few videos of it naturally aspirated soon when the track finally opens up next week (weather provided), so it'll be a pretty decent before and after approach. Been checking in regularly, and am ready, so PM me when it's a go. Wanted to go with a T88, but that might be a little overkill, so I'm going the largest that I can with the single turbo header setup....

what is the largest you can go?

^ Not too sure, gonna go with a T-67, unless BBS says otherwise...

-Rob

T76 is the largest I had installed in those headers. I attached a picture showing a T76 to the right and a 62-1 on the left, note the differences.

Street Lethal; keep us updated. Another thing, you must really love your 3rd gen. Because if it was me, I think I would forget it exist having a Z06 to play with instead
