Lucifer gets new Turbo setup!

[mikemounlio]

Tonight i will stop by the store and pick up some new bolts. I bought some grade 8 already but left it in williams car. I might get to drill the holes tonight for the bolts. Im not sure if ill get that far or not.

I got another elbow welded up today. Im getting a bit better. I took the grinder to both. I think they are usable. I wanted to do a quick test fit to see how far away from the water pipe and my flange is wrong! I ordered a new correct flange (it was my fault this time) and have the old one ready to go back. Will shift focus to finishing up the front brace now.

For now I'm keeping the stock manifold. Later on I will be going to a custom ram horn style manifold with external waste gate. So for now I need to make my setup work. The exhaust is just to close to my water pump outlet right now. So I wanted to go to 2.5" pipe to make it easier to get around the hose and so I can add in an off the shelf glass pack

Oh that's good I really don't understand why people would restrict exhaust vs. external wastegate

Burns stainless said it's totally legit to run a bigger exhaust diameter and then neck it down for a muffler in the back of the car. But you don't want to neck it down and then run bigger pipe to the back.

Boost creep shouldn't be a problem with his new turbo. the turbine flows a lot more air, and the integrated wastegate is much bigger than the VJ 11 or 14 turbos.

Why control boost creep with exhaust back pressure when you can get a after market waste gate and have it run to atmosphere youll probably have better spool times and it'll spit flames on deceleration both wins

I just like the fender exit! This car is flashy and meant to get peoples attention! The fender exit does just that. It gets people asking questions. I dont mind to chat about cars to people its fun. I could very easly tie into the exhaust thats already there. Thats no fun tho. If i cant control boost creep again with the new exhaust ill ditch it and go to a full exhaust. Im trying to avoid that tho. Not because its to hard but because i want to save that as my last option.

the wife has given me the clear to get a new harbor freight welder. I am going to get their biggest 220v 180 amp welder they have (mig). I know its not as good as what you guys want me to have but i have several others say they have had luck with them. Just comes with bad wire.

ANyway they have a good sale and i have a couple small gift cards. Ill get it for a bit under 200$ so thats fine with me.

Im gonna have to cut my pipe into small sections and weld them together. The bends are like 6-8" radius. I need super small bends. Looks like tonight will be plenty of fun.

[mikemounlio]

my crap welds.

In a few minutes ill pick up my pipe. Im not sure how big the bend radius is tho. I might have to cut it in small 20° sections and weld each together to get a tight bend. Or ill have to cut the bend off at an angle and beat the ends back into a circle.


I like how tight your bend is and ill need to do about the same deal.

Got it. Just needed some clarification. Hood exit is funner tho

So true! I didnt get to pick tho. I like the fender exit. Its not an everyday thing. I have seen several hood exit cars out there. I have not actually seen a fender exit on the street yet. Im sure ill see 2 today now!!!

Your .035 welder isn't going to push. 023 without a different roller and I've never seen flux core that small not that they dont make it ..I run .030 my roller has 2 sides grouved .030 for flux and .025 smooth for solid wire.

I will have to see if i can find a new roller as well then. If not ill stick to the .035 and just go really slow and stitch small.

Why not run full exhaust? Or at least exhaust under the car? Tooo cool for school? What is it? I've been given an exhaust ticket before don't need another. And I was only running open downpipe under the car.

Holes in fenders r easy to fix. Buy a new fender.
