I would think a stock iron manifold looks more effecient. That guy in Tampa needs to start making them! The guy with the 74 Duster with the turbo.

its the same basic design of the stock manifold, minus the heater box and the outlet goes our the side rather than the bottom,

few quick up dates, should have went with the 45 degree bends instead of the 90's, and should have got a section of 4' 1 1/2" sch 40 pipe, but live and learn we will see how manifold numero doce turns out

the reason for the 45deg bends it hits the block, but cut a slight angle into it and shell be good to go

not bad for my marginal welding skills and my harbor freight mig 151 230v 120amp beasty, currently running flux core, but not welds as long as i keep the joints tight lol

Image

couple bugger boo's but nothing a grinder can't fix

Image

and just goofing around metal hand !!!!

make sure if you cut that angle into the pipes that it still clears the the intake you are going to use. nice welds for flux core.

i love the metal hand, had me laughing for a couple minutes.

soooooo excited found most everything to complete the turbo project, finally found a local weld elbow supplier that was $2 per elbow than what i could find through ebay http://www.universalsouthern.com got 15 more 1 1/2 weld elbows for $56

Image

another company called GHX Industrial but can be found under the old name Trident Supply Co
1180 Lane Avenue North
Jacksonville, FL 32254
(904) 781-6082

Karen helped me out spent about $70 for a custom 55" stainless braided teflon hose with -4AN fittings on each end, a 90* 3/8thNPT to -4AN and a 90* -4AN to -4AN, and a M12x1.5 to -4AN adapter, absolutely wonderful people to deal with, highly recomend them

Image

I can't forget my awesome turbo hat from ebay for $96

Image

also got the front leg of the turbo mani mocked up
Image

more 90*'s cut down to 45*'s ends cut ready to flare for the flanges

Image

Image

custom tubing holder lol
Image

I found a local cummins dealer for the turbo gasket cummins pn 3535001/ chrysler pn 4874541, of course cummins wants $7 for the gasket and $8 for S&H, and would take atleast 3 days, and chrysler wants $10+tax and will be atleast a week......... I can't win lol !!!!

Still need to find/make the drain tube, not really worried about I can either make it if I have the parts (need to check the awesomeness that is the parts bin lol)

Post subject:  Details!
Love that you started this as I have read almost every page I can on here and FABO dealing with turbo /6 setups. This one Ill watch closely as I too have a Holset in the garage. Its a wh1c that is basically an hx-35 so I am curious as to the finer details as to the fuel setup but more along the lines of boost and when it comes on. say 2500 rpm 2psi and full 10# by 3500rpm etc. This I would say detail in all ways so that it can be added to the FAQ builds. So keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Got a bit more welded up, measure, eyball, cut, tack weld, hammer, tack weld, hammer lol

Image

Image

ran out of welding wire have to pick some more up in about 7 hours lol till then sleep !!!!!!!!!!

I chose the HX-35W because of the internal gate, and the fact it is setup from factory to run 20ish lbs of boost with the stock waste gate actuator :)

looking good.

one question, are you using the manifold itself to support the turbo or are you going to make a bracket to support it?

i have 2 brackets welded to the manifold that bolt to the engine mount, not really to happy with it considering how much heat will be transmitted to the polyurethane in the mount, still need to finish hooking up the oil line, and waiting on parts for boost,

RE: "the OCG 270in 280ex 112deg LSA turbo cam and lifters (still need installed) $160.25."

Can you elaborate on the specs of that cam, please.

I want to make sure I have correct information before I comment.

Thanks,
Bill
