tell me what ya think

 

and this

 

looks like its coming along great!

 

Kind of, heh. The driver's side header is about a 1/4 inch higher then the passenger, and the passenger side is about a 1/4 inch too high anyhow, so tomorrow, gonna get the torch out, heat some serious pipe, and move em both down to about an inch lower then they are now to clear the stock formula hood.

lookn' good

 

Might as well ask first before I start measuring and comparing...

I'm looking for a radiator that fits IN the core support, instead of leaning against it, has anyone ordered an oem replacement for this purpose? and if so what vehicle was it out of? I'd rather just buy a new radiator, since it's about 10 degrees here in michigan, not the best weather to be measuring radiators in a junkyard.

Thats a fairly clean looking way to do a header to TT conversion. And look at those headers... if someone wanted to make a tuned header setup they would be perfect, just cut off the stock collectors and run 4 tubes forward to a collector voila Tuned twin turbo header.

Curious, how are you going to get the exhaust out of the car

 

what he should do is turned those exhaust housings around and have the downpipes face inward toward the center of the motor and run the exhaust under the k-member. Twin 2.5" pipes should clear fine

 

Thanks. The next time I do this will be much easier, and the headers will look a lot better, since I would just get rid of the collector itself, and just use the 3 inch bend as a collector.

Exhaust...

::laughs:: Actually that is what I'm doing with the exhaust, it's going to be twin pipes, under the k member, not exactly sure where yet, but obviously the least amount of ground clearance lost is where they're going to go, then back into the stock exhaust for now. It should work out quite nicely, and quite cheaply...

Now, next thing to get is a car NOT from Michigan, that isn't rusting from underneath. Ah well, when I rebuild this motor, i'll clean it up, but for now just want to get the motor done.

I really like yours. will the fact that the collector portion of this pipe is so large instead of tapering down to a size similar to that of the opening on the turbo?

 

Lol, dude is that a sentance?

 

um I see, would that be a "syntax error"?

 

I must have read it like 6 times thinking to myself damn I must be tired.

 

no dude its me not you, the question is to the effect of the collector pipe sizing over a tapered pipe.

 

Not sure if this answers your question, but here we go...

The collector was cut off from the headers, then welded back on to where it is now. I ordered a mandrel bent 3 inch pipe from jegs, cut it in half, and used that as the rest of the header.

The halved 3 inch bend took some finagling to get inside the collector to be welded, which is why I believe the collector could just be left out of the equation with a welder with very little experience.

Also, there is a 3inch to a "2 and a 1/2 inch" reducer welded inline right before the turbo, which is the perfect size to weld to a t3 flange.

Looks nice and clean. What kind of headers did you use?

Brad...

 

I better keep a close eye on whats goin on here cause this is what I'm going to be doin soon

 

The headers are Heddman headers for 55-65 Chevy 2WD trucks.
Hopefully this weekend i'll have the intercoolers in, and both turbo's mounted at an angle like they need to be, but we'll see since my computer is on the way and that's going to be a blast rewiring.

Heh, if you have any questions, i'll be sure glad to try and help.

Ok got the computer, and the repinning diagrams all figured out. Need some help though guys. I'm looking for a new knock sensor, memcal, and a 2 bar map sensor. Are these the correct part numbers for a 90-92 305 SD setup? and for the syclone map?

Knock sensor - no idea
Map Sensor - 16009886
Memcal - 16163139

Are these right for the 305? i found quite a few topics for 350's, but none for 305's. Thanks guys.

PJ

 

Try hitting up the DIY prom guys. They would be able to help you out there Im sure.

 

::smacks himself:: heh, oops, wasn't even thinking. Thanks man.
