I searched but came back with zip-so heres the deal. I got a few turbos off other cars and I was thinking of using them. I can also make my own manifolds, so this is pretty cheap for me. I was wondering if anyone knows much about doing this, or if you can point me to a good tutorial or forum site about turbo systems.

 

www.howstuffworks.com might help you out .

 

So your looking for info on how to make your own manifold? Sorry your question wasnt exactly specific and worded properly.

 

I think he's looking for info on how a turbo system works and what parts and configurations are needed/recommended.

 

yeah, maybe the parameters governing the design of the manifold. I'm a steel fabricator so i know one part. I wanted to find out if anyone has made their own turbo system or if everybody just gets the out-of-the-box stuff.

 

i think there was one person that did a manifold...you can try searching. i have not experience with this stuff at all

 

my buddy made my manifold for me with 1.75" mandrel bends (4 u bends) but if you want to understand more on how turbos work and everything rea MAXIMUM BOOST by corky bell very good explanation i suggest reading this 1st before digging in it will help you design your own kit that is just right for your goals

 

thats cool, thanks. yeah, i know how turbos work, just need details-what size pipe for the intake, how to attach the intake pipe to the TB, minimum length for exhaust pipes, etc...

 

aight, for anyone who wants to know this I found all the info i could possibly need at www.sdsefi.com . Most all of the info is in the faq section-how to make intake manifold, turbo header, intercooler, fuel rail, etc... and a crapload of other stuff. they also sell one of the most unique eng. management sys. ive ever seen.

 

nice find 240ish lots of good info

 

Just found this one today- www.homemadeturbo.com -buttloads of good info even though it applies to honduhs.

 

It is definately worth reading MAXIMUM BOOST by corky bell. He has a lot of good information. Answered a lot of my questions.
