Just finished it this week... sorry for the shitty picture I only had my Phone on me at the time and haven't had time to take more... any imput would be appriciated.
I already know the turbo is going to sit low...... Thanks

After

 

Good job. It definately is low

 

did you build it in the car? watch your hood clearance.

 

thats one huge manifold...w/ some tight bends...hope it flows well

How are you going to run the oil drain?

 

It kinda looks like the turbo is going to sit lower than the oil pan... not good.

^^ other than the clearence issues and the possibilities you left yourself for a return i say it looks good i think the next one you do will be **** on

 

Thanks for the replys guys.... i know it is going to be low, but it really doesnt matter it is still almost 3 inches above the oil pan. The top of the manifold will clear the hood with no problems too. And for the return line I am going to be running a dry sump oil system, so the return will not be a problem... THe manifold is completely equal length down to a few mills.... Thanks to a buddy that is an engineer. But next time i make one i am going to shorten the collector by about 3 inches and give myself plenty of clearance. Thanks again

3 inches above the pan with or without the turbo?

unless you plan on running a line directly from the turbo to a scavenge port on te pump its too low

 

MAN THATS DAMN SICK

 

just chopoff the collector and try makeing it shorter....

It is 3 inches with the turbo on.... it really isn't as low as everyone thinks... i will get some pictures up of the setup on the car here soon... but yes i am going to have a 5 stage pump, so i can run a scavenge port right off of the turbo...
Thanks for the comments!

I will have to get back to you on where i found it... because right now i can not find the site. The easiest way to make it work is to just use a regular 5 stage regular totation pump and mount it on the frame rail.... of course this means you are going to have to have solid engine mounts.... or you could fab up a brace that connects to the engine and holds the pump on the other side of the crank pully... they also make scavange manifolds if you were just looking for another few outlets... im not sure what your use of all 5 stages would be, but if five is what you want then ill find it. I will get back to you tonight when i have more time to find the site.... This is a site where they sell the scavange manifolds http://www.manguspumps.com/parts.shtml

Here is a 4 stage reverse rotation pump

drew, you rock my socks
looks good, now it seems we shall fab one up for my car.


doeboy

 

looks like a praying mantis head or something. feel free to use that.

 

I found a place that sells stage 5 pumps with reverse rotation....
give this guy an email if you would like them

tim@rochester.rr.com

lol. that **** was funny!

 

lets see some pics of this manifold on the car ...

 

I will get some more here right after christmas.... i really dont have time right now... the set up isnt ready to go... ill get some pictures up though
Thanks

you are going to be going through turbos like crazy due to oil return issues, unless of course you are a baller with a dry sump system..
