Thats a pretty restrictive 90 deg bend. Reminds me alot of the stock Y-pipe.

I didnt. I supercharged mine.

 

[NCTaurusSHO]

here are some more

cutting out the O2 sensor bungs


second O2 bung


grinding the bung for welding


more grinding


heat wrap FTW


alright that is where we are at now, will keep you updated as the night goes by. this is only day 1, I guess you could say (3 hrs last night and 12 noon to 8pm today).

but you don't even have one now.... this is the same setup and exact same piping as the red/black 404hp one and the green 380hp one, it seems to work well for us

ashley

 

[38SHO]

word... I mean it doesn't look that great... but **** your making some decent power...

I wouldn't mind using that setup if I still had 400hp

what are you going to make your y pipe a lot harder to build for an extra 10 or 15hp.... yeah I'm sure 400hp won't stand a chance against 415hp through 1st and 2nd gear... they'll both probably spin as easily


nice to see another turbo sho comming along

 

[NCTaurusSHO]

done with the y-pipe


it did only cost 20 bucks (plus heat wrap)to do it ourselves though, so you can't really beat that price or the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Wow, so much for constructive criticism...

I'm also not a fan of that 90º... merge? collector? i'm not even sure what to call it...

Personally, when I eventually get around to my FI project, if I decide to turbocharge, I'll spend the extra money on proper unions and, more importantly (to me, at any rate) mandrel bent piping.

That said, best of luck with the build.

thats looking pretty good.... still waiting on the pic on your duct taped to the lift though... im thinking that may be in production tonight???

I appreciate the constructiveness of it, I don't expect everyone to be like "awesome", but i mean, if you look at other projects there are some 90 degree bends as well. I don't really believe that it is detrimental, however, yes it could gain maybe 5-10 hp just by taking that out, but sometimes to route it you have to fit what will fit. we don't have a mandrel bender, so we work with what we have, it has turned out well from what we have done in the past and I am not looking to put 500+ hp down. but thanks for the pointers.
