Mate, hate to say it, but I think that bandit pipe isn't any good for fabricating a header. I used a cheap gsxr750w 4 into 1 header (single skin) to fabricate my first header and that worked out ok, but can't see that that double skin pipe is workable. Either find another cheap single skin exhaust or find s supplier of pipe bends and start from scratch.
oooo well that sucks.
didnt know it was double skin when I bought it, thought I would be on to a winner being able to use the standard bends to my advantage.
might mess around with it for now to see what I can do while waiting for parts to be delivered. Then if it fails order some new stuff to make it with.
-
Also. does anyone know how i could get the dent out?
if not gonna cut it out i think
-
dont know why the plenum caed mould thing is coming up...... tried to delete them but hey.
-
gave them a chop to get rid of the big boxy bit to find out they are twin walled........ o feck!
noticed there is a weld at the start which looks like it is holding the inside pipe in, you think i should grind this weld and try to take the inside pipe out or leave it in for strength?? takes it from 35mm ID to 25mm ID. you think this is too small?
all the bends line up nicely tho and should make the fabricating part easy,

So.... update for todays shinanigans,
found some cheap bandit downpipes so thought id be able to use them for the turbo, gave them a good cleaning to make them shiny again.
-
Thanks buddy.
Will change the outlet to the bottom or back of it and get the sizing when my turbo arrives.
-
Awesome :-)
also wondering, pitot tube size....... Read somewhere it should be 1/4" for every 1 inch of inlet tube. is this correct?
also what size air inlet tube should I be using?

so after an afternoon messing around with some card, i have mocked up a plenum chamber, waiting for aluminium to come now. what do you guys think?
Just wondering, do you think i can use the standard rubbers like in the pic or do you think ill need to put some metal tubes in place and use rubbers on the outside?
Almost forgot, i am so glad that that bloody airbox will never EVER be going back on my bike, that thing almost got cut up to get it out.......... (im sure there is an easy way that i missed but hey)
-
Alloy looks better and yes lighter! Guess it's upto you personal choice an all that. 3mm He30 soft easy to work.
cheers dude. Going to mock one up in card soon to see how it fits then when metal comes can cut it all out and find someone kind to weld it for me. Anyone in Derby able to weld and need a new friend?

Hopefully have a malapassi reg on the way soon. Got a fuel pump orders which goes up to 55 psi, got a clutch cover breaker already on bike, filters to atmosphere with a filter.
what material should I make the plenum out of? Got an idea of either 2mm aluminium or 2mm steel?? Steel for strength but aluminium for weight saving. Or maybe 3mm aluminium??
-
So the turbo has been purchased, got a TD04L 14T
when it arrives I can start.
-
Try one from Volvo. T5or v70 its Mitsubishi (13150) made unit. Get a straight flange Td04hl-16t . It's built in blow off valve. Cheap enough unit and good for 350bhp.
yer iv been looking for something like that. found a td04 11g and a TD04L-12t and a TD04L-14T with the built in wastegate and blow off valve.
would one of these be good?
-
I don't think so ..
Have you actually worked out what the C/R is with the parts you are using ?
What is your target C/R ....
well I'm not too sure what CR would be good for me. Is around 9-1 a good aim? Obviously no clue here haha.
-
Yer still confused.......
so correct me if I'm wrong I need to get the busa Pistons sitting 1mm below deck to get the compression ratio I want for turboing? And to achieve this (if above or dead on deck) I just use a bigger base gasket??
so still on hunt for a turbo as the ones I was looking at didn't come through. Pissing me off......
any suggestions from personal experience which is a good turbo for my bandit?
-
Cheers buddy read through that. Confused the hell out of me at first but kinda got there in the end. Going to go through it again just to make sure I got it.
-
Ok cheers will keep an eye out for some Pistons.
so with the re-bore is it just a simple widen or does the barrel need to be lined or anything? Also what will I then have to do with the CR? Not that wise on piston changes and re-bores and compression ratings. (On my list of things to read up about now)

so heres some pics then of the lady before i start.
shes a bit dirty but will be filthy when i finish
-
Ok so no need for the intercoooler thanks.
will look into busa Pistons.
do they just slot streight onto bandit rods and streight into the block or does that need to be bored out?
i know I won't be able to keep it at low boost but for at least the first period I will have to until I can get the lock up clutch.

yer I know that now haha. Just saw it for cheap and though it would be a good shout.
talked to my weldy friend, he said it would be possible to chop the end off, remove the inside tube and use the outside one for the manifold. I don't really wanna just bin it as the bends are nice in it and seen to line up pretty nicely.
Anyone about the Wideband AFR gauge?
