Custom Turbo Project Almost Done

[ellik]

I would definately like to check it out once its finally completed. Rochesters not all that far from me.

Good luck at Pitt. I wouldnt be overly concerned about Oakland. Ive never lived in that area, but ive never felt unsafe leaving my car when Ive gone down there.

I should have tried it, but never thought during the install.... just wanted to get them in there. Is there enough room to reverse the pacesetters and mount them forward sweeping?

I don't think you can reverse headers for 2 reasons. One the bolt patterns on the flanges dont line up I believe that was tried by someone else (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Also even if the bolt pattern did work out they wont fit because I believe the flange would be facing into shock tower (sort of). Basically there's no easy way out, haha. Even with the freedom of custom headers we had to relocate the power steering box and the brake cylinder to fit them in. I think tiago's routing is the easiest way and those headers with help to speed up the gases. Our aweful roads could be a problem although I believe most people haven't have to many problems.

K sorry but I just have to ask it lol. How are you going to get the spark plug wires to the spark plugs? Guess would help if I could see exactly how the headers were shapped.

Hey ReodDai, for your viewing pleasure (and anyone else for that matter) I added a close up pic on page 3 of the site showing where the wires can fit, it's close though. That definately is a concern. I can see me having to replace a wire now and then, but hopefully it'll be fine.

[ReodDai]

You gonna use 45deg(think they are actually 135deg) or 90 deg angle wires?

[njp98]

I'm using 90* now I'll check to see if they fit and I'll try to make it work. I'll for ones that work or I might have to get custom cut ones if I have to.

[ReodDai]

If I remember the 90deg sometimes sit almost on the heads. I have to go back and replace some of them with the 135deg but you may not have that much room because of your header design
