lol, i'll let her know her help isn't welcome

in the area there was no possible way to put 22 lb/ft on the nut. An open end wrench would have fit in there but i couldn't get enough room to turn it, let alone apply a good force. maybe it was just the crappy design of my headers. Those headers just look like they are going to take up a lot of room and make it a pain. I wasn't about to put them on and get a leak. No way i'll ever change those headers unless my motor is coming out!

 

I don't think it is even possible to get my headers/turbos out with motor in car....well not in this dimension anyway....my headers are similar to sfr's

tom

 

just because i personally like the design of the kit better than the greddy kit. and it was just to make the OP feel better about his kit,

 

Lol thanks bahaha. Im happy with it regardless, i do with i had upgraded to the stronger headers, but that can wait i guess. Im sure me and my buddy will make something else for the turbo to help release some of the stress on the headers.

Plus Porsche uses some of the same designs don't they? With the headers and such

 

yea i love the header design. i also love my greddy kit. but honestly, the header design on the greddy kit is crap. an equal length header is the way to go.(unsure if sfr's kit is equal length). but yea, what i would do is just mount it up, then fab another mount for support on the exhaust housing flange. do you have access to a welder?

 

They do look to be equal length i have not measured them yet however though. Yea i have access to a few actually. Advantages of your best owning a landcruiser.. everything needs to be custom fabed

 

Sorry guys, I was late to this thread. I got myself a new toy I was playing with.An NSX! ha ha. The 60-1's woth T3 hotside can outflow the greddy 18 and 20G's.It is all about the hotisde! The cold side does you no good if you dont have the hotside to support what the cold side can flow.

 

I guess after everything was said and done,we forgot the wg dumptubesSorry Scott.Well get those o you asap.

The intercoolers we build are all the same for these kits. 3.5" x 25" x 8" core. But we can increase the size to 4.5" thick core for those wanting to make exccessive horsepower.

We always do the install of the turbo kit with the engine inside the engine compartment.Installing the headers is a ***** but we have so many different tools,extensions,etc....we have it down to a science.LOL

We reccomend firing the scavenge pump with a relay that is triggered off of the 12+ side of the coil pack.This way the pump continues to run for 10-15 seconds after the car is shut down.

On my own car, I didnt wrap the headers. And there is over 45,000 miles on them now and nothing has melted or burnt up.LOL!

If you need any install help Scott, dont hesitate to call! I know all the tricks and tips.LOL

 

These are the ultimate headers for any of the turbo systems ut there for the VQ35.I have these on my car.But they wil cost you! LOL

 

Dont use any braces or brackets to support the headers or turbos! The problem with this is that stainless can expand and contract by as much as 10% and once the stainless heats up and it is braced,the natural expansion cannot take place so it can lead to cracking.I am telling you now that I have had the haders on my car for 45k miles and we have about 70+ other customers that have 10's of thousands of miles on their systems and we have yet to replace one header for cracking.

 

ooh i know someone who is going to make excessive hp

those headers are sick Tim!


with the motor out of the car, can you get it back loading it from the front with the headers on? or does it have to have the car lowered onto the motor? What part hits the firewall?

 

Thanks for the compliments.We get serious about building headers here! I went with the .065 321SS with 1.75" primaries for my set-up. You can install the engine with the header on. But not with the turbos on unless you are doing the install from underneath.But the nice thig aout this kit and the SP kit is that installing the turbos is a piece of cake! Just use anitsieze on everything! A person could potentially have a couple sets of turbos for like street use and then a bigger set for track use.That is what is awesome about these style of turbo systems.

 

And the other thing to think about guys........... when you buy one of our SFR turbo systems, someone here in the US made your parts with thier own hands. It could have even been me.Ha ha. So this means they still have their job because of you! You buy a Greddy kit and the poor laboror that assembled it gets a nickel and the top guys are getting rich! We need to support our economy.The Chinese have whored out the aftermarket industry so bad it isnt even funny! Just look on Ebay. LOL So think about that next time you are going to purchase something that was not made with pride here in the US of A!

We also use the best US made materials possible! So we are not using some cheap *** stainless that is prone to cracking and flash rusting. LOL. We are not using some generic black oxide hardware or substandard paper composite gaskets.We are not using some Chinese crap turbos or wastegates. ha ha ha! We are using only the best!

 

TurboTim FTW!!!!

 

^^ +1111

Nice knowing you've got a one-off hand made in the USA. That's what sold me end the end.

 

what is the diameter of the primaries for us mere mortals?

 

LOL! I am mortal too. Stock headers and our normal headers are 1 5/8" OD

 

how much more flow does the slightly larger diameter primary offer? guess that's a kinda after the fact question.

 

They will offer more flow for big horsepower but it also depends on the porting of the head.And nothing is ever after the fact so if you are thinking about them let me know.

Tim

 

bigger isnt always better. gotta take into consideration the principles of physics in exhaust gasses. larger exhaust manifold diameter will only hurt you if you arent making the power to actually NEED it.
