ah yer..... i need a life.....

[JayRome]

woke up late, thought i would do something productive....

speaks for it self,

Tuned length steam pipe mani, using EVO 4-9 turbo on a VR4 engine...

i'll keep this updated when i install the system possibly on either my car or FRONTN's VR4'd cordia....

to be continued....

 

[mattrat]

ahah so you did start it, looks sweet as... how much longer you think?

 

[JayRome]

just need to make up all the lines, dump pipe and outlet pipe then its ready to bolt on.....

 

[3zercrowd]

Cool as!

You finally got to it!

I knew if anyone could do it you could!

 

[VR-4Squid]

Lookin good, how did you work out what length to make the runners?

and will the bearings be lubricated alright with the turbo mounted on that much of an angle? I saw an interview with a chap from prodrive (who build the wrc subi's) in which he was saying they mounted the turbo vertically and had to completely redesign the core so it would be properly lubricated.

thanks for the comments guys!

length would be the same as if it were a N/A at high RPM tuning with 40od pipe.... its honestly a calculated guess....

as for the lube on the bearings..... no freakin idea, i'll tell you when we test run the thing...... the angle is not by choice as its the only way the damn huge ass comp housing will clear everything.....

The angle doesnt look overly bad. no worse than a big turbo fittined intoa wrx engine bay.. I guess as long as there is still gravity pulling oil through it should still lubricate.

Manifold looks good, can't wait to see the results. Will be very interesting. I wonder if it would have been possible to fit the turbo the same was as in the 4 - 10, opposite direction to the vr4/1-3? Did you think of doing this?

 

[SIVART]

man you are going to love it....

 

[GSRSOL]

nice work Jay ....

do you feel like teaching me how to weld ??

 

[JayRome]

nice work Jay ....

do you feel like teaching me how to weld ??

if your willing to learn, come down when i build another mani....


i also can get my hands on an EVO 8 Titanium wheel turbo.... that would be fun!...

fitting the Turbo the same way as the 4-9 is possible but harder to run dump pipe and inlet/outlet pipes, but possible if you really wanted it too....

 

[JayRome]

i think i need better welding gloves..... (yes those are all burn marks!)

i now know why they charge an ass load to make custom manis! need some lil porting work on one runner but other then that its ready....

did some measurements on my GGSR and the turbo should have less then an 1' of space between the turbo housing and the radiator, which is good....

 

[iluszn]

looks good. grind the welds down, port it out to make it smooth.. make sure no dags on the inside to go through the turbo.. and your done.

Gonna HPC coat it? or heat tape wrap it?

 

[JayRome]

neh gonna leave the welds, not going to hide anything.... might heat wrap it after i get it sand blasted in and out..... might even just spray it.....

anyone know how much HPC coating is??

 

[iluszn]

unsure on HPC.. but i think i know someone who does it.. but its in geelong..

 

[TMAK]

stop showing ppl my idea lol..
btw it's a evo7rs turbo.. so it's still has the 9.8 hot side..
plus another e7 gsr turbo at my here..
i guess it's time to fire up my car..

btw can i swap the E4 for the E7 turbo?? lolzzz jkz

 

[TMAK]

haha lol fine.. i'll show you my manifold.. it's the best ever..
or do you wanna see the turbos? lol..

holy crap......


...........your floor is actually CLEAN!!!!!!!

 

[EVO-00X]

Arent you worried that the angle is gonna effect bearing wear and oil drainage?

 

[mattrat]

how would it effect bearing wear?
u mean the in/out wear?
