them are heatexhachangers right? kinda defeats the purpose of a turbocharger does it not?

 

Lets just hope the water isnt hooked up

 

then how come banks does fully waterjacketed headers and turbos....????? they made all kinds of power with there setup. and for that mater how come they even make a water jacketed turbo in the first place??? it will work just fine with the temp down just a little . plus im not looking for an all out race motor, or the best of the best. i just want a little more power!!! and maybe, just maybe learn something from the experience. plus its beter then burning my boat up!!! because im running it with an engine box. ian

 

so i finished the hat and painted it black to match the rest of the motor. also started making the down pipes for it out of stainless because they will have salt water running thru them. they came out pretty good. i still need to mount the v-band rings on them but i cant do that until i have the motor in the boat and know what the final position is going to be. ill put some pics up in a little bit. thanks for looking. ian

 

some pics of the exhuast risers. i still have a little claening up to do on them , but im still waiting for my long mandrail extension for my die-grinder.

pics of the finished blow-thru hat. im really impressed with the plasticoat high temp paint. its good to 500* and has a great finish. it also dries really quick.

been a little slow these days. i just lost my dog of 11 years the other day. its been a long week! its hard to work on stuff when all u can think about is family. well r.i.p. little lola. you where the best dog someone could ask for!!!

 

so the motor is in the boat now and im trying to finish things up on it im thinking it will be atleast two weeks before it is seaworthy but you never know...it might be less??.. im still waiting on my aem air/fuel guage from jegs so i cant run it anyway. supose its a good thing cause it gives me time to really finish things up on it. last night i stripped the wiring harness down to the bare minimum so i can start freash with only the stuff i need. prob wont put it back together untill i get the new guage. well thanks for looking...ill put some pics up tomorro ian adair

 

well here are the pics i promissed. gettin there, almost done, right around the corner,,,,all that stuff.lol it is takeing longer then i thought it would but it is only because of work that it is going so slow. its all good, check out the stainless heat shields i made from some chimine pipe i had layin around. it couldnt have worked beter if it was an actual store bought heat shield. thanks for lookin. ian adair

one more thing...... if anyone knows an easy way to get the c-clip in , on a hks bov please tell me. it is so hard to get the snap ring pliers in there to put it on with???? thanks ian adair

 

in some cases i have uesd needle nosed pliars to compress snap rings,, don't know if it will help in your application or not

 

You need angled snap rings pliers. Unless you have a good pair, it is a two man job.
