I went in today to get beter photos than the ones my bro gave me taken from a moblie phone, makes it easier to see

[turboman]

ihate to tell you this but the normal exhaust pipe will not be any good in this setup with a turbo due to the extreme heat generated through the turbo's and will definately warp the manifold and cause you no end of trouble thats why people use steam pipe because of it heavy walled construction and resistance to warping

[ilovea9x]

I couldnt get steam pipe the size I wanted which is why I used this pipe and if it so bad why are so many other people making their manifolds out of this stuff

[turboman]

they dont,they make it out of steam pipe

[ilovea9x]

Ive been to at least 10 shops and when I said I wanted steam pipe they all said I didnt need to use steam pipe when they are been ceramic coated
So why should I

[ilovea9x]

Second manifold made, sticks out a bit more but at least the pipes are the same length

[RIM-010]

Twin Turbo! Bloody hell, I can't wait to see a vid of this beast...

Looks good, I like those manifolds, and the head.

Twin Turbo, bit over the top but never seen a twin turbo red six before and just wanted to do it might look better than it go's, anyway could allways go to a big single later on, but this will spool quicker
And as for a vid its been five years to get this far so might be a while

[RIM-010]

I can wait, don't worry...

I think I recall a TT kit for a red on eBay a while ago? Maybe... Might just be my imagination...

If you find anything on one let me know, ive been planing this since 2000 and never found anything but for a torana with a nissan RB DETT fitted in it and never knew what came of it either

Are you investing in one of 82911's crank girdles? If you intend to push the envelope then it would be worth the effort.  What boost do you intend on running? With a crank girdle (and other upgraded hardware)  I have seen 202's handle 30psi in circuit racing conditions.

not going that far with the bottom end, I dont what to boost it up that high and not doing that much work to the crank will hopefully stop me me from wanting to

I would listen to Howard about the girdle, I would run 1 on any 202 with 250hp or more, its cheap insurance IMHO

Point me in the right direction to where I can get it and I will, might just have to stretch the bank account even more

PM 82911 (Greg) and see if he has any left or if he is doing another run of them

OK found him thanks guys

Its sure gunna be pretty different from anything else around, should go pretty well too, aslong as you dont put too much into it.

They reckon the biggest limitation with the J-zed head is the strength of the block, they can crack bif power from them, but they usually split bores or blow holes in the side.

Just dont rev it too hard and it would be sweet i would think.

looks the goods mate. good work

[ilovea9x]

Yeah Joe said dont rev it to high, so with the efi i am using its going to have a rev limiter
I am using H beam con rods that joe uses in he's rail and most the trouble he was getting was from oil pressure going too low and that was damaging the crank
And one other thing he told me was not to over bore the block if I want it to last

[turboman]

how much does joe sell his h-beam rods for

[ilovea9x]

He gave me one price for rods and pistons of $2800, these H beam rods are made for a red block, not modified to fit which is why the price is up a bit but as far as I know he hasn�t broken one yet!

Here's a update


Nowhere near being finished and I have to put another 45 bend before the plenum to drop it down further as it was hiting the bonet


and these are my brother in law just trying to get in a photo

[ilovea9x]

I know you can get a turbo cam for a red block so you should be able to get one for a blue
Using a stock cam wouldnt be much good , should get to much wheel spin and top out to early
Yella Terra have a turbo cam you should check them out, I am getting mine made to suit through a friend

I still haven�t found a good enough resign to use one, as Greg wont respond to any questions asked and it looks like it doesn�t do anything except stop the caps from walking and I have never heard it that happening anyway
If anyone could get Greg�s attention so he could explain what it would do for my block maybe I would consider using one
