Hmmmmmmmmm, doesn't the EMS have boost controller functionality?

Wasnt good enough. I need a small compact unit with many programmable maps, scramble and a boatload of other features that are all a push button away.

Dv8 your taking that in the wrong meaning. Defi and prosport were the only gauges I know to have that "hidden" look. The reason I say prosport is having issues is because I ran them but ran into a big issue with them draining the battery (they drain batteries when not running the car constantly). Granted its a 75% chance it will happen but its the same.

For me autometer is also junk because of being known for inaccuracy. I personally have a HKS p/w/h gauge and blitz SBC i-D. I always prefer a gauge over a digital gauge.

I dont know why the guage would drain power when they conect to switched 12v source unless the key is in the ignition and switched on.

Methinks someone ran his wire to 12v+ instead of ign+..

No it was the playback box thing the one that holds the information. I would post it from google but I'm to lazy for that right now.

Telion, I have a cheap and effective way for you to make your headers. This is how we built mine and how we did it for other cars. For example this 4 cylinder car.

 

[DandDEE]

so what parts exactly is that made of...and do those really work?? cause i have to say that is really creative

 

[Dethred]

95legendGS, do you have any pics or video of your setup?:hide:

 

[Guest]

dethred sorry no pics or videos yet. It's just all "together" and needs put in the car haha.

D&D the collector in that picture is from home depot and the tubes are just flexy pipe almost like pipe for a dryer vent but not as think and more sturdy. I can definately say for a total of 30 bucks and a little bit of welding its the cheapest way I've ever seen to make headers but it DOES work.

Seems like a bad idea from a flow perspective, but I'd be curious to see how it dynos. You sure can't beat the price.

Wait, you made those for your Legend like that!? I thought that was a mock up part at first sight.
I dont know man, you tell others to get super expensive parts, including me then go to home depot to build your manifolds out of ducting.

Creative to say the least, but that doesnt seem to have longetivty or velocity in mind, nor emission legality in those states that require it.

just a note here guys, and keep in mind that i don't know anything about turbos, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, or anything like that.

Also, telion, i know you said you did not want a beast-machines drag-queen.

Why not run the headers up above the engine and turbos on top with the intakes outside the engine bay like a blower / sc like the old muscle cars do? It would save LOTS of space and simplify things a little bit. You'd have to cut the shit out of your hood or not run with a hood at all...not exactly ideal, but neither is putting a turbo on a legend ;0




in addition...i though when you turbo'd an NA engine that you had to "build it" meaning forged pistons, and other "hardened" parts that can stand up to more abuse costing lots of money?

Dv8, those are strictly a mock up. My headers aren't made that way. I'm saying to figure out bends and the routing of the piping, we used that flexing pipe to get the bands etc. It might not make sense the way I'm saying it but let me see if I can make more sense.

From the flanges we welded on a one inch piece of pipe and from there we tried bending different ways to see which would be the 'best'. From there once we got the bends we bent the stainless pipes to the degrees needed and welded them all up to make the header then make a collector and pipe that connected both headers then down pipe etc. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh and no emissions here either

 

[reboticon]

Too bad those are just a mockup, i was ready to send you the ******* repair of the year award. There is a company that do it that way as well. They send you plastic pieces that you bend to shape then mail them back and they weld it out of stainless.

 

[Telion]

Wow that was an interesting page 22 lol. Sorry I won't be using these materials, you might have missed this part but I want them to be solid and a product that I would feel good selling if I decided to sell them and attaching those to a 75.00 set of flanges would be blasphemy. I beleive I am also good on space I have made all the necessary changes and found a decent set of 16g mild steel collectors. Thanks though.

 

[Telion]

Ok while narrowing my choice I came across a couple collectors that I like in my pricerange, one of them being something I never thought of before that could be great for tight spaces.

 

[legend coupe]

those look nice.

 

[Telion]

They should be adequate the top one is the one I would prefer to get but I can't find the gauge of mild steel that they are. I know that they are Hooker collectors. The other two are Megs.

 

[legend coupe]

same material? the top one looks a little diff. maybe the lighting.

 

[Telion]

I suspect the top one (hooker) set is 18g and the two bottom (Megs) are 16g

Ha! I bought these hooker formed collectors.

I'm not using nearly that much length though.

haha

Seems like Dv8 is always an f***ing DBAG... hey but looks pretty cool definitely took a shit ton of time and work i know how that goes telion we should definitely meet up when i get back in October

 

[DandDEE]

^^what was that for?
