Turbo Headers w/pic

[Alvor315]

What do you guys think? These would would fit on the 200 head. The pipes are all within 5 hundredths of an inch of 35".



These are just a first mock up because I haven't really measured the head, but they should be close.

Paired with a set of equal length intake runners I think the whole look would be pretty spectacular.

If you guys want more pictures let me know, and I'll get some more up. :thumbdown: ?

Nice. I wish I had those kinds of skills.

Solidworks has the option to download 1 year licenses of any of their programs if you go to or work at a school. That's how I got the program. Anyone can learn.

I like the idea! That could work!

Some constructive critisism: (just some stuff to think about)
Have you measured an engine bay to see if that'll fit? You could probably enter those dimensions into Solidworks and get a feel for if it'll fit.

Where's the alternator (or generator) going?

Log head I presume? I think the turbo might sit too high to clear the CI aluminum intake or even an Aus. 250 intake.

Keep up the good work and let us know if you fab it up!
Later,

Nice start. Been awhile since I played with solidworks, but great program.

A few things from a practical standpoint. The height may become an issue. Even if it clears a log head, that will put the turbo really high in the engine bay, which normally isn't a great idea since they get really hot.

Also, look into effective length calculations for fluid flow. Overall pipe flow restrictions (such as every bend) have to be calculated. There is a method that converts bends and radii in pipes to an equivalent length straight pipe. For balancing flow and restrictions, this is about the easiest method and relatively accurate (though not as accurate as full fluid flow modeling.

Great work! Would love to see a set of turbo headers hit the market.

I just wanted to say nice job, and must have been fun drawing that up...

However, Im betting with the limitations of the small six head (and even the CI head for that matter), I doubt you would really see any improvement from having your runners that long. I bet a simple, short runner tubular header would be just as effective as the long runner design you have there, and even a free flowing log would generate nearly as much gain. Most of the power gains in turbocharging come from the cam and Post turbo exhaust restriction allieveation.

Cool project though
