Thank you Griff!! We're assuming it's going to be a tad noisy maybe, it's only a small turbine wheel in there to soak up that bark!! Really hoping it lights nice with the 6spd manual though, that's the main goal. Thanks for watching as always mate,
When I have done stainless exhausts I have put stainless Mig wire in my welder just to make tacking under the car a lot easier then Tig it on the bench afterwards
That's a good idea! I've only ever used stainshield gas when doing stainless mig, never thought of trying standard mixed argon mig gas. I'm too picky with the stainless stuff sometimes.. thanks for the tip man
If you go back through drag challenge videos from maybe 4 years ago, Jake Edwards runs standard manifolds on his Holden turbo engine, at Swan Hill he blew the side out of his manifold, I think he was using 2 left side manifolds from memory, I was lucky a friend had one I grabbed for him, I couldn’t believe how thin the manifolds actually were, he had to drive several hundred kilometres with a metal patch over the hole to not melt everything around the hole, there was something he melted and had to replace before he replaced the manifold at Calder Park
Very interesting. Jake Edwards combo was a lot more highly strung than what this one is and ever will be id assume. I guess you never know what you're getting when you play with a casting though. Thanks for the info, you certainly wouldn't expect that happening! Haha
I just use a bevel guage to figure out the angle I need, and then I draw that out on the bench and use the ghetto tracing jig to get a square line on the tangent. I'll try show it in more detail next time. Thanks for watching mate
It's a nice addition to the car thats for sure. Much better than an old humble t5 that would not have been super stoked on putting up with the turbo combination. 😄
The extractors sit directly where we essentially need to run our charge pipe. The turbo doesn't need outright flow, it also needs heat, and the casties will help retain more of that than the thin wall extractors. In a perfect world we would use the extractors, but we need to pick our battles. And at ~400rwhp they certainly won't hold us back.
Are you talking about the passenger side? You could lower it a little more or just not utilise a v bad at all in that area. It gets installed from underneath, so it could be done without that joint in 1 piece if you wanted to.
Just wondering if any updates on this one.? I have been slowly building knowledge and associated parts over last few years to rear mount my Vh SL/E and also my sons vz ute. Just stuck on the oiling side of things, any advice.?
Sorry mate, updates have been somewhat delayed due to some craziness on the home front. Next video will likely be up next week. We are yet to start the oiling system yet, but not too far off it. Plan is to run a -4AN line from factory oil pump back to the turbo with a turbosmart OPR inline. Will fab a small 'sump' for the turbo to drain into, and a generic 12v gear pump to return oil to the sump.
Probably not, but we've given it our best shot! Griffo did mention that we could try putting a hotdog style muffler pre turbo but we will leave that as a last resort at this stage. Thanks mate
Are those green ford injectors? I bought a set cheap for my L67 and it ran like goona , I thought about how they'd work in my 5L, but only had 6 so sold them off cheap
Thanks mate! Yeah we will see what we can knock up if the need arises. We're certainly reliant on this planned ceramic coating doing some work, along with the thicker pipe material retaining more heat than a conventional header. Can possibly even heat wrap some sections as well.
@@TorqHub fingers crossed for yas , but I'm thinking more of when it's on the dyno reving to all get out... maybe chuck a dyno fan under there as well 🤣
Thanks for the tip mate! We were hoping the thickness of the schedule 40 pipe combined with the ceramic coat will help alleviate any real heat issues, we can certainly make a shield if needed though. Cheers Anthony
@@TorqHub one of my old bosses had a vh with power steering and 355 stroker after around 3/4hr driving it would start to bind the steering up due to the excessive heat felt like manual steering again anyway I’m sure you will make it work cheers
Awesome episode as always guys!!
Thanks Shane!!
Once again, really enjoyed watching your work guys.
Will checkout the podcast when it drops. Always like listening to those too.
Thanks FuManchu! Appreciate the support!
@@TorqHub I’ll show ya some support when the new merch drops.
Enjoyed the vid lads... Be interesting to hear how it sounds, nice work👌

👏👏👏 Awesome ep!
Thanks dude
That setup so far is looking amazing very neat job love it💪💪💪cant wait for the next episode welldone guys

Brilliant work fellas, really educational love it. Cheers 👌
Thanks mate!
Killing it boys 👌🏼🤙🏼
Aww, happy freaking Friday 😮
Enjoy mate! Thanks!
The legends 👌 coming along nicely
Thank you brother!!

At 23:48 can you show us how you do it to find the angle you want on the pipe
I just use a bevel guage to figure out the angle I need, and then I draw that out on the bench and use the ghetto tracing jig to get a square line on the tangent. I'll try show it in more detail next time. Thanks for watching mate
Hell yeah. Ripper vid
Thanks mate!!
Geez that 6 speed manual is a rare gearbox you got in that car
It's a nice addition to the car thats for sure. Much better than an old humble t5 that would not have been super stoked on putting up with the turbo combination. 😄
Could you guys use a vl to vs K frame and steering rack as that will give you guys more room as the steering rack bolts in different areas?
I like your way of thinking, however, this car already has a VR K-frame and steering rack in it
Could you ceramic coat the extractors? Better flow?
The extractors sit directly where we essentially need to run our charge pipe. The turbo doesn't need outright flow, it also needs heat, and the casties will help retain more of that than the thin wall extractors. In a perfect world we would use the extractors, but we need to pick our battles. And at ~400rwhp they certainly won't hold us back.
So would U advise a small down pipe off the header to the v band for clearance

@@TorqHub Yeh passenger side mate. Ok thanks for advice 👍

Good job boys. Do you think that one muffler will be enough to quieten it down enough?
I’m enjoying the build 👍

They are siemens 660cc from memory.
Shmicko lads.. even thoughit would be a squeeze.... some heatsheild would be cheaper than a new starter and rack 🤔

I’d be heat shielding that steering rack otherwise it’ll bind up when it gets hot
