Fabrication thread

[destroy.tuning]

I dont know if many other people do stuff like this so this thread could well fail, but if you guys are into custom fabrication, heres a place to show it off

I was very bored today so decided very spontaniously to make a twin turbo setup for my ZC CRX out of spare bits in my garage (and a VERY cheap flux core mig welder - so dont hate on the welds ).

I used spare ZC and H22a exhaust manifolds, and EF3 exhaust and a TD025 turbo (so far). Im considering running either a VF secondary turbo from a suby or maybe even a TD04 and use the TD025 to spool it (sequential twin turbo), but at this stage its paralell twin turbo (so am on the lookout for another TD025)



(only half finished obviously - waiting to find a nice cheap second turbo)

Lets see what you guys have done

[touge4age]

liking the idea of this thread. will chuck in my input.

cold airbox with a 3.8L v6 panel filter curved for better flow.

sorry i haven't had a chance to clean up welds yet

my 1st attempt at some 4-2-1 headers. might re-do these soon if dyno results aren't up to spec.


centre console surround in my trueno. once again, too lazy to polish it much more. i need me some cheap child labour!

[Colza]

Oooh, thats some shiney stainless!!!

My turn

This bad boy was cut out entirely with a hacksaw because i didnt want to shell out for a drop saw

Total cost was probably $150 in money and about 10,000 hours of labour.

[BUMP]

Frost's h22a into ef3 civic was gold. EVERYONE on HT said it couldn't be done and was impossible.

Lol, already moved bro. Hawkes Bay is where the fun's at now

LESS TALK MORE FAB!!!

[4AGE]

Lol here we go.
Total cost: $3 worth of materials. Atleast 45 hours work on this beast.
I can make these to order if anyone is keen? I can prob do you a discount.



Alcohol may have been the influence for fabricating such an intricate and time consuming project.

Yep great thread, goes straight to my soul and back to the day when it was legal to modify your car. Nice one.

Strange really, when tidying the garage I had thoughts involving a big single side-draft carb and a spare injection manifold on a D15 and...

Well who knows really.

[DrRubber]

Not my own but I'll just leave this here for those who missed it but caught this thread

Wish I had pics of some of the stuff I used to do at my old job, huge amounts of Titanium and Stainless fab although nothing really car related. Looking forward to more pics!
