Tial actually makes stainless exhaust housings. Though they are useless for twin scroll. But the Tial parts are probably pretty blingy.

So, another way to add some bling could be with ceramic on the exhaust housing. Though you'd have to have some good shit to stand up to that heat.

I had my DNP mani and CPE DP coated with Swaintech White Lightning. On the mani, where the collector makes the sharp turn downwards to the turbo, the coating pealed in about 6 months. The rest of the mani and DP seem to be holding up, just that particularly hot spot, it couldn't take it.

[xcoldricex]

hm, wonder how it will do on a turbine housing then. my DP is great.

[Speedie6]

Dj thinks every post is useful LOL.

[djuosnteisn]

my thanks are so i make sure no post goes unread more than anything.... although this thread is indeed full of many useful posts

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

We know you took off work today Dusty. Car done yet?!

[jmhinkle]

You better hurry up with your car man and whoever else around here you are helping. If the bonuses are close to what I'm expecting, I'm ordering a turbo and mani so you'll have to help with mine too.

[rigor]

i wana see your custom mani pics of it installed!!

complete eta?

The ms6 jig is legit at this point. I may want to build one more dp to triple check it... but that may be over kill. We'll see. Building them on the jig is so much faster so it may be worth it.

Up next is buttoning up my whip and getting it running. I'll post some pics of the progress this week Then it's ms3 time i hope.

I hope its ms3 time too. all you ms6 guys have been having all the fun. i should have the manifold and the turbo by next week so once those two things come in dj its time for the first prototype ms3 top mount BT set up. thats when you are ready for it

[turd burglar]

leen, you got the ceramic in yet?

[mason]

i got the twins ordered and on the way! cant wait to fab up some piping! good times!!!!!!!!

[steedspeed]

Yep!

Finally got it. I'm getting a local painting company to spray them for me as I don't have a very good spray booth and it was making my shop uninhabitable after every session. They should have got it done by tomorrow though and I'll get yours out right away as it seems the fitment is good. The twin EWG manifolds had to be changed a little as I had the one flange too close to the alternator. Dustin saved my ass on that one and sent some great pics of the fitment of the single gate manifold installed so I could get the revised location right.

Sorry for the delay guys but its better to just send it once and get it right eh?

[turd burglar]

gracias leen!

[I Love Brownies]

thanks leen! cant wait for my new twins!

[steedspeed]

Ok!

All coated and ready to ship!

[djuosnteisn]

Fuck yeah.

And i'm quite happy with my jig. Here's another dp i tacked together this weekend:






Finished pictures later this week

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

Sooooo....that means production on the MS3 kit begins next week? Lol

[djuosnteisn]

Very very soon. We'll see. I need to clean the garage after all this shit before i do anything else. Also once the mazda's running, i'm gonna want to tune it and everything, but the top mount kit and ms3 jig will be very high on my priority list. Once it's running, i can then get the ms3 in my garage and begin tearing into it.

[BigjohnB20]

Is that cylinder strapped to the wall? Thats a big safety finding where I work. Don't want to tip it and turn it into a giant missle

Things are looking good though. Can't wait to see it all installed on your 6. Great work.

Edit: I do approve of the cylinder of extremely flammable gas being stored right in front of the electrical panel and all the empty beer bottles scattered around. LOL.

[djuosnteisn]

Argon's not flammable lol.



But yeah... i haven't made a strap for this bigger bottle. I just pussy foot around it and try not to knock it over. 2000psi bottle certainly does = missile if you break the regulator.




Thanks for the inspection, i'll chain it soon.

[BigjohnB20]

me = retard. I am a chemist by trade trying to tell you argon is flammable. Noble gases are extremely inert, I should know that. I guess I wasn't even sure what was in there, just assumed that if you weld with it, it burns, lol.
I do stand by my comment on the high pressure cylider though. Dont' want to tip that thing.


Anyway, carry on with your win. Don't mind this idiot.

[djuosnteisn]

Hahahahah, no worries man. For all you knew it could have been acetylene or something.

[socks]

yea, you probably should find a way to strap that bottle to the wall.

those bottles are extremely rugged with the caps on, but without it, that regulator/valve can pop off and send the bottle who knows where if it tips. having said that... i have yet to strap my bottle, lol. mines a 90 though, and tucked in a corner. it'd take effort to tip it.

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

Subbed for a different kind of boomage. Lmao!!

[djuosnteisn]

Snow shovel is for snow boarding. I live like 30 min from the sandia's and we'll go up there and build some crazy jumps from time to time.


Broom is used on occasion... but when your like 4 project's deep, and have a garage stuffed with a car currently being assembled, the guts out of a spare motor currently being built, another spare motor, a spare transmission, a spare transfer case, a welder, a metal bandsaw.... a work bench..... and about a $1k of pipe and tube shit (from said 4 projects)... you can start to understand that neither do i have the time to sweep... but i don't even have the exposed horizontal surfaces to require sweeping. Hahahaha.



And just so you know... cleaning the garage and sweeping the floor is going to be done before the ms3 kit is even started. I'm just trying to get the ms6 stuff wrapped up.

[09Speed3Z]

Give me the motherfucking broom and Ill clean the goddamn garage up. Its what I do best.

Ask that psycho Superskater kid.

[turd burglar]

when you gettin em out leen? may be able to test fit on my friends 3 since his pg manifold is alot easier to remove and can let ya know how well it fits!

[Dano]

hahah

take a look at the floor of the garage in 09s avi....I think you could eat off of it!

DJ? curious....... when you fit the turbo to the steed top mount. does it look like if youd clock the turbo for hot side to face down would it clear? just daydreaming a lil...... either way ill make it all work good.

[KWhite]

That Mythbusters video is exactly what I thought of when you guys started talking about flying tanks! Dustin that DP looks sick!! I can't wait to see the first top mount done with the SS top mount manifold and Dustins DP setup, it's gonna be sweet!!
