Shayne and I are offering our services to weld up, build anything you want. We've done a modified one piece and will be offering a TIII header soon, but really, anything goes. We will have jigs setup for TIII's and 8 valves so if you want a header, we can make it anyway you want. Our quality will be top notch but at reasonable pricing, so the average TM'er can afford it. :thumb:

Shayne has made some wicked headers for his turbo 3.0L that are bar none the best I've seen, they won't be cheap, I'll get some pics up later.

I'll add he is a certified welder and its what he does for a living.

To weld up the A413, $100 including cleaning, shipping extra of course, :eyebrows:

Ok, to make that manifold in the pics that he welded up, the one is in the pics was modified by the owner, will be $250-$300 with a larger neck and we'll do all the work, we can provide a core or you send one. Core charge would be $20. Pics of the manifold he welded up. If you want a different one piece done, IE larger plenum, then ask us. We are looking at making 2 piece upper plenums too.

Here's the Log header, introductory price of $250. This sucker WILL NOT crack and no brace needed.

Going to look at a T3 and Dodge flange so you can use either turbo if you change your mind down the road.

We have great vendors here, Shayne bought a house and has a new baby girl, so now he's interested to play.

I'll get some pics from him next week Brent.

The TIII header should be soon, want to try an almost true back to back with my cams first, then put the header on.

06-24-2012, 02:20 AM
i fab stuff all day for a living, but the demand will determine whether anything gets built or not. the 3l headers wouldnt be cheap, as there is a lot more effort put into making everything work and line up properly, but the 4cyl headers should be a bunch easier. prices and quoting would be based on what the customer wants.

thanks, i couldnt package a equal length set of manifolds the way i wanted to and keep from getting in the way of a/c, driveshafts, shifter cables, blah blah blah. so i consulted with a friend who welds manifolds back east, and he agreed that an unequal length set of manifolds would be almost as good at my power goals, and more efficient than log manifolds, and a ton better than the stock one.

That's a neat looking setup, just really needs some fabbed aluminum valve covers to complete the look.

RoadWarrior222
06-30-2012, 02:19 PM
I wouldn't... mitsu/chrysler took 5 years getting the PCV venting right in the front head... guessing at a solution might have your motor sludging up, blowing down valve guides even though you circlipped them etc.

shayne
07-01-2012, 12:20 AM
i have parts to make a set of aluminum fabbed valve covers waiting, the baffling in the cover would be really easy to duplicate, and there isnt any form of the stock pcv left, just -8 fittings in each cover (and a baffled fitting in the oil pan if i have drainback issues), to be piped to a oil catch/coolant overflow container im fabbing.
aeromotive 340lph fuel pump in stock tank, may go to a inline surge tank with bosch 044. fast (siemens deka, 60# hr injectors) fuel lab regulator and filter. and while aem waits to release a 6 cylinder version of their universal ems-4 i will be using an aem fi/c already wired into the now repaired underhood harness.
hope to max out the turbo, then go from there, either a new bw efr, or a gtxr garret. and redo the x-over to be a proper twin scroll output.
should be fun, i just wanted to be different then all the other 3l guys and build it my own way.

07-24-2012, 04:53 PM
When doing the 1pc, is there any port work involved? Are you guys changing runner lengths, porting it out, or just opening up the plenum area and adding a larger neck?

I know the one the pictures are of were done for a customer, but are there any known results?

I'm interested in one myself but it's low on the priority list since my DD needs some work, and I have some other issues to iron out with the SC.

turbovanmanČ
07-24-2012, 06:08 PM
Basically we'll be porting the runners/legs, removing guts internally persay, so thus making it a larger plenum and no divider, then welding it back up with a larger elbow.

speedfreek500
08-31-2012, 08:18 PM
The welding that was done on my intake has not given me any problems yet to date, He did an awesome job and was better than i thought it was gonna be.

The clearance at the cam cap on the driver side to the throttle cable bracket is the same as oem, I think he has a jig to make it fit perfect with no mods after he is done to mount it back on the head.

Thanks Again for the hard work :nod:

awesome, yup, made a sweet fixture to hold it all in place, should always fit like the way it should.
glad your happy, hopefully others will be ready to step up for their own, ive got the bits to do a couple one piece intakes now, and simons got a 2pc intake i want to do a full custom upper plenum for. and for arguements sake i have the jigs to do a full custom intake, purpose designed for the customers requirements with plenum size and runner length. lots of possibilites, just need customers.
looking to start the 16v headers once my car is running, so it should be pretty soon here, made to order of course.

Tbird232ci
09-05-2012, 04:30 PM
If the cost isn't too terribly hateful, I'd love to do a header. Even if its a log header.

I ran a log header on my old Thunderbird and it made a suprising difference. If everything fit like stock and it was a decent price, count me in. Guess i'd just need to sell my ported manifold ;)

Bolton 2.5 systems are common for 3.0s, so if you brought the turbo outlet to stock location, regular 2.5" would fit... but, I think you want to go 3" if you want to go custom, and if you want to make 300HP... you can probably make 300 with a 2.5, but it's getting to the top end of what it handles, and you don't need to be concerned about keeping up extraction velocity with a turbo, it's "all used up" by the time it falls out of that wheel, so just having a big pipe for it to trickle out of works better. Some calculators will tell you that 2.5 is working against you as soon as 230HP though.... but there's also big differences in performance due to length, number of bends, resonator and muffler optimization etc etc.

Your DP will be custom based on the turbo, location etc-but we can make it after you figure some things out, so the vendors cat back systems will work. Based on you only wanting 300 whp, a 2.5" system will suffice and be quiet if you want that and if you go with the 3 speed.

When you do the next intake, do you think you guys could take some pics of how it goes together? I'd like to see more about how much volume you add and what you do with the runner and elbow areas. I may end up doing one of your intakes in the summer time. Still undecided.

They are made to order right now, just catching up with some backorders then we are going to make a bunch for the people who are waiting and a few extra. Then equal length for TIII and 8 valve.

No flow testing, but buy design, they will flow better, how much, no idea but based on the price, enough, :D

I do not, but Wheming should have his by now. I think Shayne took some pics of it when he was building it or when he builds the next one, we can mock it up. Time frame for a log header, next month tops.

They are made to order right now, just catching up with some backorders then we are going to make a bunch for the people who are waiting and a few extra. Then equal length for TIII and 8 valve.

No flow testing, but buy design, they will flow better, how much, no idea but based on the price, enough, :D

If you mean that literally, I have some pics in Slugmobile's thread.
I had Simon ship it to TU for that thermal coating they offer. So my pics are coated.
Here's a couple after a bit of interior touch up. I'm sure it was fine as is, but as long as I had the dremel and some stones, I figured I'd soften some edges.

Well I was wondering if the log manifold orders were caught for those who already bought some. I was wanting to order one for my build. but I do appreciate the pics of the manifold though. :)

Do you feel the thermal coating is worth it?

The car isn't ready yet to be registered, but I figured if it helps drop the underhood temp at all, especially at the firewall, it would be worth it. Slug has no a/c or insulation. That stuff is too heavy! ;)

Wondering what the TIII header will be like? Sounds neat, but not sure if it's for me if I gotta clearance firewall, not have power steering, etc.. it would probably go into an L-body if I got one.

shayne
04-27-2013, 11:18 AM
i dont know if the firewall to block clearance is tighter for an l-body, but the header will be built to be as drop in as possible, no removing the ps pump, or pushing in the firewall. one thing is though you wont see much of the header as it leaves the head and goes down then back up under the turbo, tried a ramhorn style going up then back down to the turbo in simons van and it put too much heat into the upper cowl area where wiring and other bits are for most folks.

04-27-2013, 08:52 PM
hey shane ask simmon if he still has those pics i sent him of my header i made. your welcome to try and recreate that as its a equal length (within an inch) pulse correct long tube header.
it retains powersteering and clears for 3" exhaust. But for sure there is noway it'll fit in an L-body. good luck with those platforms.. man those are a small compartment. My set-up is basically set up for me but I'm sure you can grasp what i did and modify it a little here and there and make it a little more user freindly :)

shayne
04-28-2013, 01:52 AM
will do!, i think i actually might have pics of the header too somewhere. i'll be curious to take measurements from an l-body, simon has a old charger at his shop that i could use for what i'd need to check, i assume the omni and charger have the same engine bay.

I don't see why not, SRT engines fit in the L body with big turbo's with no firewall mods. The HE351 also fits 8 valve L body's with no firewall mods.

Curious about the fitment of you 8v log header with a ford .63 turbine housing while running a two piece intake. Since the Chrysler .63 housing is like finding hens teeth it would be nice to run the ford setup. I remember trying to fit it up with a stock header and since the ford turbine doesn't slope does as much my waste gate the rod and the flapper arm on my tu 3" sv just wouldn't work. Has this been tested yet. And also does it set the turbo off to the side more kinda like the tu headers.

OK, they keep changing prices on us, we got a really good deal the first time but then raised the price, so if we are to continue, or unless we get a cheaper job, then we have to raise the price about $100 a header. Anyone that's paid or partially paid this doesn't apply.

Sorry guys but we simply can't absorb the additional costs as we were only making a few dollars before.

Hey Simon,
I bought some t3 flanges from guy on ebay. Excellent quality made in North America, and really inexpensive. I wanted 1018 mild steel but I'm sure he could do 304 stainless
.500" thick $10.99 shipped. Guy spent $5.50 to ship small flat rate box. Guys name is Robert Rego, Maple Springs Farm, Verona, WI. Guy says satisfation guaranteed or money back including return shipping. That don't happen very often.
Keep checking, lots on people can do this cutting these days, but shipping could be an issue.
