We had the opportunity to build tubular manifold for a Form lightening with merge collectors and merge into one hugh single turbo the customer supplied.
The Motor is a 5.4L built SOHC with 1000 whp in mind, The turbo is a Precsion GT4788 with a T6 in and 5" out to the down pipe.
The turbo was so large finding a place to fit it in the engine bay and still have room for a downpipe and charge pipes took the help of the engine lift.



This give you an idea of turbo size with my Sony K800 sitting in the inlet.


Both headers, one fully welded the other tacked.

Anyone that has built header before knows the time involved, the lower of the two is the drivers side which has the steering colum pass throw it,

 

This the the merge, the 2 pipes meet and a TIAL 60mm waste gate ( Supplied by customer) hopefuuly controls boost.






All the welding was back purged with a route weld then filler weld for strength, For the this you need a second bottle with regulator to force the air from the insed of the pipe.



Inside of the pipe

 

Here's some shots of the custom intercooler we built, We used a Precision core capable of 1200 HP and built our own end tanks.



Welded end tanks.


No leaks here..

 

dats jus crazy!

 

thats gonna be one bad pickup!!!

 

you guys do such fantastic work, i can't wait to see this thing done

 

another great one off

 

lol^

 

Somehow I can't see there been a great demand for this kind of set up, Maybe we should spend hours building fixtures just in case.

 

Thats the best welding I've seen in well i think ever.
