I need a header for my 225 slant 6 so I can do a turbo set up.
does anyone know where I can get one? or who makes them?
Check out stanlessheaders.com they can build anything you can fab. They built a set for my big block duster, look awesome. Good luck with your project.TomI need a header for my 225 slant 6 so I can do a turbo set up.
HEY BILL! Do you have somebody post these questions just so you can answer them?
I'm kidding, of course. It was one (or more) of your posts that got me interested in turbos in the first place. I'm sure I'll be looking for answers for my own questions soon enough.
Hey, Kitty; if I knew more about the subject, I might do something like that, but, unfortunately, all I know is what I have read on FABO and the Slant Six Forum, posted by people who actually know what they're talking about.
If I could weld, I'd make some of those neato stock exhaust manifold/turbo adapters like PISHTA dreamed up and sell them, but I can't (weld.)
They are handier than a pocket on a shirt...:cheers:
As for your own o project; jump in... the water's FINE!!!! (Misery loves company!!!):banghead:

Bill,
You could probably make some money making those things and selling them to guys that want to pop a turbo on their cars.
does anyone have a link to PISHTA's post on his j bend turbo mount setup? I've searched and can't seem to find it. or it's not in the header title to find and I'm just not looking hard enough. I have a second hydraulic motor that I'm going to put in a front clip to mock things up (power steering. A/C ect.) while I finish up my normal engine so I can drive the car while I'm getting ready to turbo the convertible, not looking for a killer hp rating but would like a little more oomph! and a nice cruiser car/long distance driver. since I plan on driving it to the far away shows (Woodward dream cruise and the other one in Pennsylvania) so that should be somewhere in the 175-250 hp hopefully.
Boy talk about brain freeze. I searched and searched and didn't think once about Pm'ing Pishta.. duh!:banghead:Hey, 66...
I sent PISHTA a private message asking him to email me the side-view of that header he built and he responded by saying he'd be glad to email me the picture.
As soon as it arrives, I'll post it in this thread and we can all see what wouild be involved in building one like it.
Stay tuned, and Thanks, PISHTA!!! You da man!!!:cheers:

FABO member PISHTA was good enough to take his time and not only send me photos of this turbo manifold/adapter, but also to include a scan of the dimensions and physical specs of the required hardware AND a detailed description of the whole shebang, so anyone who wants a turbo on their slant six can have one without breaking the bank or running afoul of the stock exhaust manifold's tendency to want to crack, if welded on. This whole turbo-adapter apparatus is a bolt-on deal; no welding on the cast manifold is required at all.
I think that's a wonderful plan, because cracks in the manifold are not usually easy to fix, and this setup isn't going to conribute to that scenario!
He sent me several explanatory pictures and some text that will also be very helpful, I think, to anyone building a boosted slant six for the first time.
I am a computer IDIOT and don't have the skills or knowledge to put all of this (pictures, text, and drawings) in one posting on this website, so it will show up here as several different pages, but it will all be there, so bear with me, please.
Here is a pic of the finished product: Go to the next post for more pix...
Here is one shot of the U-Bend with the required flanges welded on.
I told you I am a computer idiot, and I wasn't kidding. I don't have a clue as to how to make this picture bigger, so maybe your software can make it into a more useful size; I just don't know how.
And, another:Here's another one...
And, some VERY helpful text about the whole add-on turbo operation as regards a slant six ...And, another:
As Bill has said, building these turbo headers is not easy!!!
The "J" bend may be the best way to go for most street applications.
Just thinking out load.

.Thanks Bill, hopefully this thread will be easier to find than my others. anyone can PM me for any other questions, comments or pics.
