Icehouse Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Dave picked up a new 510 the other day. It came with some goodies like a 3 core rad, dogleg 5 speed and a L18 with a weber! Dave is the Pull A Part king! He finds subi LSD's, turbo's and all kinds of cool parts. Which he always hooks us up with. Dave has said on quite a few occasions that he would love to throw one of his Pull A Part turbo's on his L motor. Well his other car is super clean LZ22 car, so just throwing something on it would be kinda tough :D So after picking up this car he was talking about turbo's again and I just happen to get some cool old school turbo parts from a buddy :D Well I told Dave I would help him with his carb/turbo setup. Anyways we pulled to intake and exhaust and started fitting the turbo. I'm really excited to help Dave with the turbo setup. It's always fun to learn something new! Here are a few pics of the car and stuff. HHHMMM Super charger or turbo :D Test fitting a manifold for another project, I'm building on at work and should have pics up soon :D Thats all the pics for now. I can't wait to hear that turbo zin Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 What manifold is that from? that looks like a old engine air manifold if i remember right. I know the carb box is a engine air carb box because i have one :) Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 What manifold is that from? Yeah it's from some old ass turbo kit, I'm building a log one right now so we can run a 300zx turbo. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 A few pics of the progress Quote Link to comment
boomstickracing Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 that is gonna be one sweet dime :D Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Finished up the header tonight, wow headers are way to much work!!! I ended up mud gunning most of it (Sorry Duke I didn't want to be there all night :D) You can't argue with a 3 phase mig welder though :D I did go in through every hole and tiged the insides just to make sure it was somewhat smooth in there. I think it turned out alright considering how much room we had to work with. Can't wait to hear it boost :D Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Looks good Jeff. It's funny that you say TIG is to slow. I'm not a very good MIG welder but I bet that I could TIG that almost as fast as I could MIG it. I was just thinking about this project and how one could make an equal length turbo manifold for an L-series. That would be a bitch for sure, especially with how limited the space is in the exhaust area. I'm looking forward to seeing this project come together. I've always had a thing for turbo'd L-series.

Icehouse Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Looks good Jeff. It's funny that you say TIG is to slow. I'm not a very good MIG welder but I bet that I could TIG that almost as fast as I could MIG it. My welder buddy has been welding since 68ish and he can tig weld really fast, I still think I could beet him with the 3 phase mud gun. The amount of lava that comes out of that gun is amazing!!! It's funny my other welder buddy asked me why I wanted to tig the mani. I told him I had to or Duke would think I was a pussy :D He talked me into mud gunning it. Which in the end I'm sure tig welding it wouldn't have taken that much longer but I doubt I would have gotten it done today. I was just thinking about this project and how one could make an equal length turbo manifold for an L-series. That would be a bitch for sure, especially with how limited the space is in the exhaust area. Yeah wanted to, and tried fitting the pieces but without the engine and the intake mani it would be really tough. I just have to tell myself the SR mani isn't equal length and it hauls ass :D I'm looking forward to seeing this project come together. I've always had a thing for turbo'd L-series. Me to, I've always wanted to ride in one. The only one I've ever seen run is Keith's car. I think EFI would be better but I really like learning stuff so why not add a carb'd turbo setup to my list of accomplishments (or failures :D) Quote Link to comment
FJDatto Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Ice, Sent you a PM. If coming to the POTD, is there a way you could bring that old turbo manifold for me to check out? If not, you'll be relegated to building me a custom one. Your choice! ;) Quote Link to comment
610SSS Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I cant think of 1 factory turbo manifold that is equal length, so i dont think its neeeded to make good power. Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I cant think of 1 factory turbo manifold that is equal length, so i dont think its neeeded to make good power. True, but how often are things tuned for maximum power from the factory. An equal length manifold might make the same ultimate power, but it will help with spool up. Quote Link to comment
