Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
VN s1 manifolds, acid dip, re-weld if needed. That's my planSimple log style manifolds made from steam pipe sections would last you forever and a day while being quite functional.
Luke your setup is exactly what I'm trying to do, I'd like to replicate yours almost exactly but with an additional bracket to support the turbo. Any more info you could share on your setup would be much appreciated!!that was a cast driver side header on the pass side, but flipped around
then a 'tube manifold' style (vn series 1) header from the pass side, flipped around onto the drivers side.
clearance to the oil filter was a bit of an issue (I hammered the oil filter down you might have a less agricultural solution )
Other than that, the turbo weighs a bit and with that thin kinda material and no bracing (mild steel pipes) the pipework will sag with heat.
but meh - it worked and it did good skids. - good luck and make sure to take heaps of pics!
T3/T4 seems to be an option that works well on a V6.. The Garrett from the XR6Ts should be just about perfect, but even second hand they cost a fair bit.as above, think t04 turbo, t3 would be too small
The only problem would be finding room for all that damn piping in a V6 engine bay!The other option would be for two turbos… GTR Skyline T28’s. There would be smaller piping used and the only problem would be intercooler piping
