    Headers

    in Forced Induction

    Posted

    I would just like to add to this thread how much of a nightmare merging pipes is my god my heads battered,lol

    Has anyone any tips, nuggets of advice gladly welcome.

    I am also finding stainless Tig work a twat I know what I want to happen but actually doing it is just not happening deffo more torch time needed.

    It does make me appreciate other peoples skills though when you see what actually goes into the job.  (y)

    Thanks for the reply No Class your headers are great work as is all your stuff, I am aiming to have the turbo in a similar place to yours.

    Its hard to write down what your thinking sometimes lol,  The flange on my turbo has a small inlet only around 44mm so the outer cylinders pipes will be more or less halved at this point.

    Now do I do the same with the centre cylinders so they come 4-1 at the flange and I have around a quarter of each pipe at the outside wall and centres merging into each other or do you think merging the centre cylinders into the cross pipes so only two outer cylinders meet the flange is easier for my first attempt ?

    So its that time, bends are ordered my new found tig skills are primed and I'm shitting myself lol.

    I am using an IHI Turbo so the header turbo inlet is one round hole.

    My plan is to fab the outer cylinders to turbo flange then take them off and fab the centre cylinders to flange, then I will be left with two sets with round outlet, half these at this point and weld together. Does that even make sense ?

    Can anyone advise is 4 into 1 the way to go or 4-2-1 an easier task ?

    Any advise gladly welcomed and get your header pics up.

    Cheers Mick

    Hi,

    Well I have always had a slabby itch and I got the chance of these two bikes from Germany.

    Did the deal before Crimbo and collected them Saturday.

    Black ones an 1100 and will make a nice bike with a fairing and few odds and ends.

    750 Wants a full restoration but is all there was described as standard but has a fibreglass fairing ? surely not original ?

    I am not after building concourse bikes just something nice so whats the thoughts oh fairings do I look for original or just be done with it and buy pattern ?

    Ad in wanted if anyone has any bits

    Thanks Mick

    Turbo Flanges

    I have a gasket already but theres a laser cutting place right opposite my work, the lads there said they would cut some for next to nowt but can only program from a drawing.

    The idea of nice clean cut flanges put in your hand is appealing, lol.

    I think I found a drawing for everything but the two I want

    Thanks guys
