Senders in the headers ??

 

The 1/8 npt are for EGT

 

i only have 1 EGT sensor at the moment but I just put 1 in every cyilendar for the hell of it, 7 just get blocked off, I have it in cyilendar 4 at the moment

 

when I get second part of wide band comes a second EGT so will have one in each side

So for the last post from me about the pipes is the finished results

 

pipes are coated in ceracoat HPC both inside and out and is ratted to 1200C

 

they are very simple in install but only because I know the order in witch they go in

So I have been flat out with work lately and haven’t had time to even touch the car

 

I finally got to it today and fitted my pipes that have been sitting in the shed for a week and got the harness 90% in so it will be ready when the PCM turns up, here is a pic of when I got it out of box

and I know some of my welds around EGT sensors are crap lol you don’t need to tell me lol

 

 

 

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yes will deffinetly be of good use to me

 

pm sent

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

well that didn’t take long to build

looks good

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

So harness is done and will be in the post this week

 

both sets of pipes are all welded up, no. 7 and 8 cyilenders pulled a bit so had to cut and re weld them to get them to line up

 

welded on 2 by O2 sensors to drivers side collector, 1 for PCM and wid band O2 and also welded on 1/8 NPT onto each cyilender 1 inch from head  so EGT can go into any cyilender

 

got to weld all them onto passenger side as well then they are goin in for HPC coating next week

 

also split the fuel line and went into back of both rails and Y them back together before reg as I’m starting to push to much power for a looped fuel rail set up

 

also got inside plastics finished off the other week, crappy pic as its dirty but you get the gist of it

 

just need a igniter from EFI hard ware to convert positive low voltage spark trigger to a negative high voltage trigger fitted up and 2  plugs to fit before I fit glove box again

 

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Is it one of them cross 6 utes or something is it ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Arrr I didn’t know that was AWD as well

 

good on you, that must be a effort to convert that

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Wait what the!!

 

You have a tonner that’s all wheel drive ??

 

What model ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Are yours only come in and out with engine.

 

I was looking at pic of yours thinking how on earth do they come in and out in 1 piece

 

but really once there in who pulls them out, the main thing is the steering rack and starter can come out with them in and it’s all sweet

 

I carnt put myn in with engine and frame any more, I had the pacemakers fitted last time I dropped and refitted engine and it’s makes life easy pulling motor box out underneath with them fitted

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yeah I would expect to pay around $4G for a set custom made by someone, if it come in at $3500 I would be really surprised and I wouldnt at all be surprised if it went to $4500 and would expect another $400+ On top for HPC

 

your set look amazing IJ you did a really nice job

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Total cost of material was $650 for the diffilipno stuff and $400 for collectors and will be another $400 for HPC witch iv found a place local to me that uses cerakote Heat barrier product that will be black

 

iv got a few parts I don’t need, such as a bit of 3 inch pipe and them weld on collectors and a few left over 2 inch flanges, but I used every single bend I had from diffilipno

 

I know another person   Who brought a set second hand that are very similar and are  1 7/8 for first 10 inches then 2 inch 4 into 1 and they suposdly cost $3500+ to build new and sold for $1500 years later and they haven’t been HPC coated

 

honestly I carnt see anyone building these and fully tig welding them for under $4g as the labour hours would be enormous

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Thanks people’s

 

It’s massively sign of relieve know I have actually done it, as the whole time it’s always a little daunting if it’s actually possible to fit 4 by 2 inch pipes past a high torque starter motor and around a steering rack, but it can be done, and it’s possible to make them all similar length as well and all with no real plan it was just go with the flow when I was making them

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yes cava that is precisely the plan

 

justan is taking a little longer with the harness then I expected, it is 99% done but am awaiting a call to go over it 100% to ensure its all correct but that time is what comes with good workers with great products

 

1 thing I will modify is extending the 2 O2 sensors down the gear box harness and out to each collector so I don’t need any extensions

 

apart from that all my wiring under dash is sorted and finished, the gear surround and stereo surround is painted except I left it in the sun and it’s now got tiny bubbles from heat so needs a sand and paint again witch is minor

 

and last but most importantly I have found a e85 servo out where I work, so I’m grabbing 4 new 44gallon drums in the next week or 2 and filling them up here and running it on e85

 

should only be be a couple weeks till harness is here and extractors are HPC coated and final fitted then tune time on LS pcm

 

also I have a lap top now and just need to purchase EFI live

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Well doesnt look like to many are interested in me building my own extractors except those on the exhaust thread but anyway here is some pics of finished results, my brother in law is tig welding it all up for me

 

 

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

All made up

 

brother in law is tig welding it up for me

 

so full exhaust on my v7 blowen 355 is 4 into 1 pipes that are 1 7/8 for 8 inches then 2 inch for total length of 40 inches with a slip on merge collector that is 2 3/4 inch then tappers to 3.5 inch and 3.5 inch Magna flow 100cpi cats and 3.5 inch pipes to 100 mm past second join flange then tapers down to 3 inch rest of way with custom merge for 12 inches with diffilipno mid mufflers and varex rear mufflers

And drivers side for any that have missed it

 

 

 

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Done

 

 

 

 

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Passenger side is starting to come together

So now at this stage I know witch is longer and shorter so instead of just making them all take the quickest path to the collector I know cyilendar 6 (the top pipe) is the shortest so it will wrap around the rest and go in the collector at inner side bottom, and cyilendar 4 (second from bottom) is second shortest so it will also be the one to do the wrapping around to collector

 

cyilendars 1 and 8  (lowest and second from top) been the longest will take the quickest paths to collector
