MS-75 Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2002	Re: Need help with turbo headers!! Mon, 03 March 2003 23:24 Hi there What the others have said is pretty much on the mark (I've just finished a set of pipes for my 4.5 litre 6 cyl 1FZ-FE landcruiser motor-split pulsed, roughly equal length) A couple of things to note Steam pipe (also known as black pipe) is cast. You won't be able to flare the pipe (way too thick). Use a diegrinder once welded to match the port shape-there will be plenty of metal. MIG is fine for welding-just turn the amps right up (it's nice and thick so don't worry about burning through)-alhough if you have access to a TIG or better they are neater. Keep the bends nice and smooth. If this is a street car-don’t worry about equal length to the turbo, simply keep the runs to your blower as short and smooth as possible and pay attention to merging them smoothly prior to the turbo flange. If your going to run a split pulse blower-merge the two pipes for each of the inlets before the plate so you only have one pipe to weld to the plate for each split pulse hole. Keep in mind that equal length may be better for outright power-but early response is much better for the street. As for the plates-just make sure they are nice and thick (15-20mm) and bolt them/it to a head or something stiff during welding to prevent them warping too much. Where are you getting the pipe from? Have fun, and patience is the key. Sean Adelaide [Report message to a moderator]
