Manifold Monday???:



Y-pipes for all those with the F.I exhaust system:



Down pipes in two sections, tomorrow they will be joined by a flex couplers:



I will be working on these kits for the rest of this week, and hope to have everything very close to complete.

Manifolds need header flanges and the wastegate tubes welded
Y-pipes need the flanges welded on
Down pipes need flanges welded
Re-circulation tubes still need to be fabricated

Next couple of weekends will be dedicated to FMIC piping, but that weill go much quicker than the stainless/exhaust portion.

Some white guys yelled at me (so I'm telling!!! j/P). They said I should wrap my hot pipes and give my turbo a blanket. I had originally planned for this but read that wrapping can cause cracks in the piping. Once they are cracked, it's going to be just about impossible to find the crack unless you take all the wrapping off, which you will probably never do unless it was a big leak and you suspect a crack. I though wrapping was a damn good idea until I read about the crack and decided against it. Well, that and it hides the shiny pipes. I originally planed to wrap because it "was a good" safety measure to melted lines, dried wires and much more. Now I don't know.

In your honest opinion, do you think it is worth it? If so, what side bag do I need for this new snail? I can find the $$ to buy the stuff if it's recommended.

Thanks

I just wrapped all mine. I had it on before with nothing wrapped. It actually gets really hot by your feet with all that heat in that area. Living in a hotter climate I'm sure only makes this worse. It also will hold in those hot gasses and give you "slightly" better spool. And again it does help to keep wires and vac lines from melting, which I have done in the past also.

I have heard of it cracking pipe also but I have never heard of a BP kit having cracked from the wrap. Time will tell I guess. However, Sasha now uses heavier gauge steel for the hot piping. So if mine ever cracks, Ill be upgrading to the new manifold.

I will speak directly from experience....

This exact kit has been on my car for 3 years now, and I have never melted anything, or have had any heat related issues. The two test mule cars have had the kits on for a couple of years as well, combining for about 40,000 miles, including some very hard driving...never had a heat related issue. (Well, one did, but it was due to not securing the transmission harness nice and high after a clutch install)

I believe if the instructions are followed, there should never be an issue with anything. The wastegate tubing is high quality silicone with a temperature rating of 450*F, so unless it is a couple of inches away from manifold, it will be fine. The transmission harness is tucked up as well, and far away from the heat...so again, I can' see it melting at all.

If it is in the budget, wrapping things does not hurt, and is not a bad idea, because keeping the exhaust gases hot is beneficial.

For those that are looking at adding a turbo blanket, and wrapping the manifold, let me know. I can send out a turbo blanket and some wrap.

A 2000*F turbo blanket would be around $70 and 60' of 2" wrap would be about $50.

The down pipe would not bolt up, you would have to do a bit of custom exhaust...not much though. Probably $200 at a shop that works with stainless.

I assume that when you say by the feet, you are talking about the passenger side, where the turbine is? That is the closest thing to the under side of the car.

And yes, the new manifolds are built of very heavy stainless pipe, not tubing. I don't think there should ever be an issue with cracking, especially the way I weld them.

Don't use the ties they give you with the wrap. Buy a roll of safety wire and safety wire pliers.

Safety wire is the only way to go when wrapping. Leaves it nice and clean and much easier to work with

Spent a couple of days working on the IC pipes. Today I finished welding 16 sets of 3" charge pipes (showing only driver side here):



These are going to be dropped off at the machine shop for MAF sensor slots to be milled in. Once that is done, MAF sensor housings will be welded. Hopefully the machine shop can get them done by Thursday nigh...so I can take all the IC pipes to the powder coater on Friday.

I am now waiting for some flanges (3-bolt) for the manifolds, 20 wastegates and a bunch of BOV's. Once those come in, the respected flanges will be welded as well. Hope to see those at the end of this week.

Other than that things are moving along nicely.

There is two V 2.0 kits, and 4 V 1.5 still left/available.

When you have time (no rush) can I get a price for the 1.5 upgrade for my original BP kit. And what it includes.

And now a bunch of Z owners have gone into panic mode with only one BP kit left. They hold there breath that one will be be around when income tax returns. One lucky guy left to get a BP kit while the many others cring and frown at there lost chance. The only thing they have to fill the void is to stare at a brights magic square that produces images of what may have been, what could of been theres. Click click click is the sound they hear as the magic square flashes. In the outside they smile at the images, but in the inside, they cry from not knowing when the next time the Magician nameed Shasha will use is queer art and produce these breathing beasts.

It won't let me PM anyone for some reason. I don't know if mods can fix this but it's been like this for a while. I would love to buy a kit tho!
