I decided to put my extended shackles on today and had to remove part of exhaust to do so ( perfect time to put the dual on )

I noticed that the manifolds on these trucks are the old log style and very small mains. Anyone ever built a set? I have 4 ultimate header kits here from last turbo car. I could have a place down the road waterjet a set of exhaust flanges and buy v-band assemblies for the outlets and just build a bigger y-pipe then. Any suggestions. Looks like plenty of room to either build a little bigger log style which would be super simple and take about an hour or 2, or build sepperate tubed headers.


I'm thinking no more then these trucks make that a bigger log style would be good and could run the tubes up higher for a short y.


any suggestions?

I'd be curious to check out some pics if you decide to do it. I don't have a clue what type of a gain to expect out of something like this. There are a set of headers out there (that don't sell very well to the typical 6.0 crowd, more for the "horsepower shoot-out" crowd).

I'm thinking the larger log style would be the way to go because they would still be a little bigger a very simple to do. I will keep you posted. Would be nice if I had a spare flange or manifold here so I could start now. Have most of it now so could have them basicly done when I pull everything apart. I saw the price and scared me away but for the prices we pay for less gain not bad.

If you going do all that why can't you make it a twin turbo using two smaller turbo one off each header keep them both under the truck. oiling the both turbos with a scavenge pump taking oil through the drain plug. use a banjo bolt from the drain plug run oil through a oil cooler to the turbo and back to the pan. Piping to the intercooler and dual exhaust would be easy. Or is that two far fetched

Here is 7700 turbos for sale is there a way to figure the right comb?

would two turbos from some 4 cylinder engine make enough boost and little to no lag do the job. Use a liquid cooled intercooler and chilled water from a ice chest to cool the intake air

thats just itI think the gains would be same as most other mods. If you cant get air in and cant get air out you cant make power. Those manifolds are not only log style but small. If you can build headers cost would be low. It looks like a 2in or so outlet and y so even like a 3in would be better. GoGo intake $1200, intercooler $1200 powermax turbo $1200 I'm guessing about $3-400 for all the materials v-bands and all. for complete tubing

Still looks like they run into the same size outlet. Prob to hookup to factory y-pipe. What size is the y 2in or so?
