OK. I recieved some of the parts for my intake so I took a few pictures and started this thread. I am building a custom turbo for my Muscle. I am using a Garrett turbo and the rest will be custom made. Here is the material I found for the intake. 10" by 4.5" tall aluminum with end caps. I may have to cut it down to 9" to fit. I will get a couple of 1" 58mm aluminum tubing for stacks and a piece of alumiumn stock for the base. I will attempt to build a mock throttle body base out of wood and use 58mm wooden dowles to fit everything for welding and to get a pwrfect fit. I will remove the sharp edges to improve air flow. It will take a while but I have all winter.

Looks like you are off to a good start. Keep us posted.

 

[redracer95]

cool! good luck with the build and keep us posted.

Did you buy the material that way or did you have to fabricate it?

 

[ncvrodracer]

Good luck, look forward to haering about and seeing the final product.. Are you going to continue to run the Stage 2 cams with the turbo?

 

[cajun-VRSCF]

I ordered it that way. Cost 34 dollars.

 

[blumj88]

could you post a link on where you got the material?

 

[cajun-VRSCF]

Yes with the stage 2 cams. If I have trouble tunning, I will put the stock ones back in.

could you post a link on where?

The end caps were 40 for the pair.

The base for the intake is a little over 3" so the velocity stacks will fit good on the base.

 

[Gdub]

You are keeping the velocity stacks. Hmmm.

 

[cajun-VRSCF]

I called then velocity stacks but just intake runners.

looks good...what is your apprx. finish date?

 

[CPTJAM]

The plenum for my TTS Supercharger leaves the stacks out. Best of luck with the project - I love this stuff! If I can help, please let me know. Joe

If I finish by Christmas I will be happy. We ride year round down here.

Whats your plans for fabricating your exhaust head pipes that bolts to your turbo?

Whats your plans for fabricating your exhaust head pipes that bolts to your turbo?

For that I found a y pipe for a car exhaust system and will get some stainless pipe to make a custom manifold. The y pipe is 2" in and 2.5" out.

That was the first plan but a member contacted me and has something I can use so hopefully that will work.

Stainless retains heat not good for a turbo system. :2cents:
