Tim you should definately keep all paperwork on that manifold and dp for the gt2871. Im going to end up with it evenually. Ill be a mock-up sav's car except slower and less reliable lol.
What internals are u planning to run, JE/weisco, crower/carillo or supertech? |

I think Sav's getting a deal actually ;) There's a very good reason Sav's only sending me the turbine housing to fab up the manifold and DP. If he sent everything I probably wouldn't return it without "testing" it first.
Fun stuff. I'm glad I'm a part of it. Thanks for the trust Sav. |

I'll say this for anyone thinking about hiring Tim .... it's not cheap, but ALL of us who use his products are happy!

A much less expensive route would be a mild steel manifold (like Artie's and paul's)

Any thoughts strength and ductile qualities of mild steel vs SS? I PM'd you about a stainless manifold, but I could also do the mild steel manipheould and coat it with that white shit. Will I be able to get a wrench on the lower, center bolt on the manifold/head? |
Any track people using this set-up with success? I'm talking about the men who are chasing down lap times...not the fagmo's out for a sunday drive.

But mine's ceramic coated. SS still more expensive than the mild steel with coating?

I'm considering the switch too. Do it once, do it right, do it with SS parts and v-bands.

No, no one yet has used one of my manifolds on a roadcourse. I have thoughts but not hard evidence on the pros/cons between mild & stainless. My first crazy "ramhorn" manifold on my car was stainless and that was fine, pretty "buzzy" though but I think that was due to the length than the material. 304SS does grow more when than mild steel, that's for sure. Note BEGI and their fancy bracketry for their ss tubular manifold. Sav considered mild, but ultimately the TiAL flanges only come in stainless. Not technically a big deal to weld stainless to mild supposedly with the right wire (which I bought a while ago but never opened) but he figured might as well make it all stainless. He's going with thick schedule 40 stuff too. You can get to all the head bolts very easily. Your arm goes where the power steering used to go. That is unless I route the EWG in there (between turbo & block), not sure yet. See the fun room on this pic of Artie's car: http://www.shoremotorsports.com/pics...emanifold6.jpg http://www.shoremotorsports.com/pics...emanifold2.jpg |
Put the waste gate on the top so everyone can see it.

Bravo Andrew. Bravo.
Emilio: "damn it, even with my amazing grip Savington is faster than the OGK... I need boost!" *Emilio installs Rotrex, enter 200+ whp in OGK* Savington: "Oh I was just getting started..." *Built motor + GT2871R = Emilio takes his place in Savington's rearview mirror again* |
Interested in pictures as things develop. I'm looking for another tubular option. ;)

Slow progress, but progress:
Attachment 204760 Attachment 204761 Attachment 204762 how's this for badass: ATP had all this shit in stock. Tim, by the time you read this they'll be on their way to you. |
^^^^
sexy |
All this shit is a TiAL housing and a wastegate? Still pretty badass.
|
I just ordered the same ewg to put on my ETD shorty. That housing looks money, I wish they made them for std t3 turbines.

is that like a 5" exhaust outlet?
