I have started on the completion of my car again. I am getting it ready for this seasons drag racing. All the electronics are done, the cage and interior is done. Im running a GT42R now and I will be putting up some of the fab pictures as I finish up. It will be ready in the next 5 weeks. Here are some specs on the car:

- Crawford Complete motor
- 1000 CC injectors
- Autronic ECU
- Built Auto Tranny
- GT42R, 60MM wastegate, PWR air/liquid intercooler

Some other crap

Here are some pictures of the turbo manifold I worked on today. Ill have it finished wednesday. Next week ill have the aluminum intake manifold pictures up.

If you guys have any questions, just ask. Sorry I havent been on here posting as much as I used to.

looks good. like the jig you made. keep the pics coming

 

loooks nice...but seems like you are not putting enough filler. lOoks like you have undercutting.

But I am probably wrong since I dont even weld much at all hahaha

But very nice!! i like!

 

Sweet build-up photos. Props on using 321, the color of your WRX is dope!

i think that those were root passes

 

whats up with the 2 tubes being welded together to go onto the collector?

 

is that a burns collectors, looks good so far

 

Can you point me in the right direction of where to get the subura flanges? Im in need of some. Are the mild or SS, and what thickness?

Looks good btw.

 

Nice work! OT but its great to see a subaru that isn't rally blue.
Looks like you've got a great setup with that jig. Keep the pics coming!

 

looks good...wish I was doing the same thing right now...unfortunately Im not.

 

I have just about every flange imaginable for the subaru. What do you need.

Ahhh...make more sense now! hehehe

 

Looks excellent man. The jig is awesome. I like the way you find the center of your "U" bends as well...guess Im not the only one! HAHA. Keep up the good work.

quick question for everyone..

for root passes (in making manifolds), how many amps would you normally set your tig?

 

 

nice work and a very clean ride

 

looking good, where is the turbo going to sit?

 

Nice setup

why is the throttle body on the front? did you turn the intake mani around?

depends on thickness of material and the gap that you have...if you have one. But you should backpurge and practice on another piece to find out what amperage gets a nice bead inside as well. I don't remember how much it took for me with 16 gauge 2" butted perfectly..i want to say like 60amps?!?!

 

Cool project

ever run a crawford block before?

 

Looks nice post more pics

 

is that a rip off hks 60mil? If so, why did you skimp on such an important peice. I've just heard really bad things about ssac and if that wastegate decides not to open up, your fuked.

the wastegates are the one thing they make that do work (along with the bov's)

i've had two customer's 38mm Tial knockoff gates break.also had one of the TurboXS knockoff BOVs break.
you can get real Tial 38mm gates,and various name brand BOVs for so cheap now,it's not worth it to mess around with the knockoff stuff.
it'd be a shame to see that awesome engine setup you have get ruined due to a big 'ole boost spike.
