DaNnY_LaD's HTA-Gt2868R Big turbo Build(Now @ AKS Tuning)

Had a few Hours today after Decorating the Landing & halls so desided to spend it on the car considering it was my last day off...lol...

I was concerned about the downpipe for some reason but i wasnt sure what,something in side of me wanted to re-fit it in the day light to see how it is...

Anyway upon on fitting it i noticed the Bolt hanger Which is on the Sub frame was outta line so once i sorted that and remark up for a new hanger it took 20mins to have the downpipe on and fitted lol PERFECT!!!...V-band is the way forward..

Im going up to Chris's on tuesday night to finish off welding the downpipe and Fit the EGT bung...Then i can heat wrap it :d

I was also wondering weather my LCR charge Pipe would fit with abit of grinding :d...So marked it all up and chopped the OE Baffle off and with a 4'' 63mm Alloy Joiner I had It lined up nicely...I might even chop the Boost Port of the baffle and weld it to my Charge..

This is how it stands :d Once the downpipe and charge is done its a few jubliee Clips & t-bolt Clamps Then i can start her up....(check it all over first)...
I will paint anything and smarten any bits up once its run in..but that doesnt concern me right now..

The Last thing i have to connect is just the coolant and oil lines to the turbo...But apart from that,thats it :d So if im lucky i can have her running the week over christmas....:rofl:
 
To think that you'll be driving this soon Danny... Nevermind Christmas!

Love the work done so far! The DP looks brilliant. I should imagine the price of the end product is fair in comparison to having someone else fabricate one, in terms of materials and labour? Nothing more satisfying I'm sure...

Look forward to further updates...

James :)

its 90% welded up but going to TIG over all the welds too for extra strength plus on the inside of the flange and inside the v bands , i only brought my little mig welder as the tig and my large mig are too big to fit in the ibiza and run 3 phase so the little mig had to do , as danny knows im a bit fussy with my welds so will be grinding them back and re doing

oh ok fair enough i hate ugly welds that are left like that as welding is an art and should look good aswell as be purposeful which im sure they will when you finish.
