definitely. one of the things i made sure to get was a good heatshield and the one i got was made out of inconel (used by F1 teams)BRAD D wrote:klattr1 wrote:great man. its good when things fit!
you gonna use AEM EMS?

The MC is close but I will get some sort of cover for the turbo.

The header it’s sitting on is for a buds car, so I can change it up a bit, its hard to make it sit lower. But I can give it more/less twist.
I would go bottom mount but the 4” intake might get in the way. I hope to fit in a 3.5” down pipe for I have all the stainless mandrel bends and two Maganaflow mufflers one round one I hope to stuff under the car and an oval one for the rear. That’s the down side of running a top mount it gets tight for the DP.
Thanks for the ATP link, 250$ L but it should help a lot, have you ever had the cold side of a turbo melt stuff? Its kind of close to my power steering tank.

The compressor does get hot to touch but it never radiates enough heat off to melt anything. I wouldnt worry about your PS resevoir. Your could prolly relocate it some.BRAD D wrote:

where do you get parts for building your manifolds? stainless or mild steel? and what kind of welding are you doing?
the reason why i ask is cuz one of my friends is wanting to have a DSM manifold built (500+hp project) and everyone seems to make stainless manifolds and i would like for him to get mild steel if possible instead. i wish someone could take the SSAuto manifold that he has and redo it in mild steel.

The bends are the same ones here http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/index2.html 1.5" sch40 304 SS pipe fitting shops should have them.
Im using a TIG (Miller SD180)
Oh and the core is a garrett

Yes that is true, but it also needs to be thicker to handle the heat for example you can make a header from .068" SS or .125" mild steel, if you made a mild steel header from .068" it would fall apart in no time.nissanfanatic wrote:IIRC doesn't mild steel have lower expansion rates than stainless? AKA less prone to cracking?

Brad, looks good and I hope you are happy with all the partsBRAD D wrote:And now the S14 gets a new smile 24x12x3.5" does it look happy?
Its just tacked up for now, I have to cut up the bumper a bit to make sure it fits before I weld it all up.
I am glad you posted this pic as I am wondering how my 24x12x4.5" core is going to fit. How much trimming did you have to do? You are running an aftermarket front bumper, but I will be using the stock jobber with the Greddy front lip. I just don't like all the overly expensive aftermarket bumpers made from fiberglass. One strike and $600 is down the drain. Here is a pic of a car I want to replicate. Beautiful in my opinion
1973 240Z 3.1L TwinTurbo (L28)

They are all working out great, thanks for the good prices. I had to trim my front lip a bit… and well, as you can see no rebar. The intercooler is about ½” away from the frame rails, I had some ¼” brackets lasered up to mount it using the front bumper bolts.
I don’t know it might just fit under the bumper and lip you have shown; I don’t think you will be able to run the fog lights though.
Ill send you the cad file for the brackets and end tanks (2.5” hot side 2.75” cold side pipes)
