My First Attempt Of A Tubular Header

[BILLYBOOST]

Still not 100% done.

What everyone is going to tell you is that your collector sucks. I say good stuff! Looks sweet. Great to see someone doing cool one-off stuff.

[BILLYBOOST]

It seems like the people that talk a lot of 'S' about peoples stuff never build anything, take pictures , or provide any proof that there idea is any better. But I like input. I just build something and try it. I know some headers join the pipes in firing order in the collector. I want to try this. THANKS, BILL

I wouldn't say the collector sucks, though I could be better. That said, I'm always amazed when anyone manages to build any tubular header that will fit in the car! Better than anything I could do myself, that's for sure!

Looks good. Why does the collector suck?

I can't tell but how are you doing to hook up the DP?

[BILLYBOOST]

I have a 90 degree 3" elbow that I'm going to weld to the blockoff plate on the turbine housing and join it up with the cars 3" system. THANKS, BILL

It is less then ideal, but it is freaken sweet header. I only complain about collectors when people are selling headers for gobs of money and don't build a collector that is worth of the money they ar eputting into it.

Is that piece of bar stock your turbo support? You’d be wise to add a joint to allow expansion but still provide support. Look for pics of warren header and how he supported it. It’s a true work of art.

that looks like a sweet piece....i am jealous i wish i had time to play with that type of stuff....one thing was thinking was did you ever look at doing a 4-2-1 instead of a 4-1 collector style.....i have always heard the 4-2-1 gives better scavenging but this was for sport bike motors maybe the 8v is different. I desgined and built the header we used on my colleges formula SAE car that was a 600cc honda motor one year was a turbo and another year was NA. Both years we used a 4-2-1 header. maybe ill see i can dig up some pics of it. it was easy to design because we had tons of room to work with in comparision to our cars.

WOW. That should rock. What kind of car is it going in?

I still have some work to do with supports. I saw his supports. That's a good idea. THANKS, BILL

90 Shadow, THANKS, BILL

[turbovanman²]

Going for 9's?

[BILLYBOOST]

Going for 9's?

We would be happy with a car that would run reliably in the elevens.

It's good to see people out there and making some stuff. You're off to a strong start with it.
