So I have been pretty busy this week after work making up my turbo manifold.
I started off with some steampipe bends and 1m of straight steampipe, i also brought the turbo flange as they are pretty cheap and easy to come by.
then after making the head flange I started to make up the manifold.
I'm pretty happy with it, it has a nice bends and it is nice and smooth on the joins. Its not completely done yet. i still have to blend all of the ports and the turbo flange area. i also have to face the faces to make sure they are flat and i need to get any weld splatter out of it.








This last photo is before the flanges weren't welded on, so there is a bit of a gap on the turbo flange,

Making the manifold is a pretty good job. it just takes many hours using a dremel with a carbide tip on it.

I have got the t28bb that i'm going to use, now im getting all the cooling and oil lines sorted out.

I have got a 1.8mm Apexi metal head gasket and some 800cc injectors on there way from Japan. The headgasket needs to be made, so there will be a 6 week wait.

In the meantime there is still plenty to do though. I haven't made any more progress on the rear brake caliper adaptors.
