Supra-love Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Lovely bit of welding there, looks like it's all coming on well. Yes mate some of the best welding I’ve seen in person. Car is being cared for at a great garage now. I’ll update when the rest is fitted and engine is started.

Supra-love Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Quick update, turbo is all fitted, just waiting the on downpipe to be finished off, fitted a new Syvecs 10bar fuel sensor and egt sensor. Need to get some fittings for the aeromotive fpr and fit the twin walbros in the tank to finish the fuelling Unfortunately when inspecting the underbody it’s been found my hub and bearing rear passenger side had it, an unexpected find after having the underbody restored, anyway I ordered parts for that and the new garage is checking everything over in case anything else is broken. Then we can start the engine for the first time providing all is in order from the last garage. Hopefully all will go to plan.

Supra-love Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Well down-pipe is nearly finished. unfortunately the 4” wouldn’t fit so had to go 3” until we cleared the manifold. Bit annoyed about that but it’s the way it is, hopefully it won’t limit or affect performance Edited November 13, 2020 by Supra-love (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I take it this is still the walton manifold ? Its a shame to see that you cant fit a 4" downpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully won’t affect too much. ie- spooling, back pressure or egts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Going smaller will improve torque at the cost of HP. It’s all about air velocity. It shouldn’t be a restriction until high RPM. If it is a concern why not step it up after the manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap it’s being stepped up straight after the manifold. so it’ll be 3” until it clears the manifold then 4” all the way from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 What power level are you aiming for? Is this going to be a straight through system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Looks like there is room for a 4inch. Hard to obviously tell in the photo but I'm sure you've tried. Most people up to 700hp usually use a 3inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were running 800hp through 3” exhausts around 10 years ago if not longer. The exhaust wheel on your turbo under 3” too. What is your plan for the car? Straight line 1/4 top speed runs or nice weekend blast with occasional track and 1/4 mile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be around that at the crank. plan for the car is a nice street car with very very occasional straight line runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I wouldn’t worry about a 4” system then, they are really loud especially if you don’t have any resonators fitted. A 3.5” or 88.90mm (to be precise) would be a lot more agreeable. What are you doing with the screamer pipe? Open or plumbing it back in to the exhaust?

Supra-love Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Few more little touches towards completion. We’ve managed to fit in a 4” down pipe now so the system is now as expected full 4” turbo back with a single box. Some new facelift indicators and looms to suit the facelift headlights. New breather hoses. Full new set of side fixings. Spare rear bearing kit. New 1.4kw starter motor. My 2mm weld for a new engine hook piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I'm stroked to see you got a 4inch fitted. I felt it could be done from the photo. Always best to make sure no limits on easy fitted parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
