Thanks!! The hood is pretty much going to bisect the turbos. I'm probably going to cast some spacers to raise the plenum up a bit too. The Quad Turbo T isn't running yet. I stopped work on it when the Chevelle's 327 let go. She's my first car, I had to get her back on the road. I'll get back to the T when I'm done on the Chevelle. The T does stop traffic when it's out in the driveway.
I must say super work yopu got going on there. But got a question for you.
Most of the turbo set up's I have seen, indivusual pipes comes to a flange rather then single pipe as in your headers. Is that ok?
I'm learning the turbo as much as I can. that is why the question.
Man that is some incredible fabricating. Love it. Where did you get info for electropolishing? I was curious as to what the process is. Guess I'll have to Google!!
67PT,
The turbos are going to mount, with a short reducer and flange, right on the end if the headers. They'll be going through the hood.
Diesel,
I'm not recommending anyone try this. The acid is a couple tubs of sulfamic acid tile cleaner in five gallons of water. I made an electrode basket with 7 gas welding rods I had bought in a pinch from tractor supply. They don't work well for tig so I sacrificed them to this. The electrodes ran down the sides of the bucket and across the bottom. They were welded in the center. Don't store them in the acid. On the sixth day they were gone. I use a battery charger plugged into a powerstat transformer. Electrodes negative, work positive. I adjust the powerstat to limit the current to the 50 amp max of my charger. The voltage required depends on the surface area of the part and the concentration of the solution. It won't remove grinding or rough sanding inperfections, so the part needs to be ready for buffing before you do this. It just saves a lot of time buffing.
67SS,
The roadster is what almost everyone else uses for their first hot rod. It's a 23 Model T Roadster. Or a t-bucket. The $250 fiberglass body was all I could afford at the time. I started it six years ago and would stop when I convinced myself didn't have the tools I needed to keep working. I started it with a Handler 135 and a jigsaw. I now have way more money in tools than it. It's not for sale, but everything has a price.
ka67 i distinctly remember that name from hotrodders, werent you building a kick azz quad turbo / big block t-bucket a couple of years back?? i remember you, me and turbo-s10 trying to convince everybody that turbos were the way to go... any way sorry for hijacking the thread, just recognized the name..
Yes, I am he. The T's not done. I blew up the Chevelle and had to work on her. As usual, I got carried away and made another big project. I'll get back to it soon, and finish it one of these years.
