Cheap SBC Turbo Headers

[@krustymudracer]

It seems like yesterday, that cheap headers meant $79.00 from PAW. 🤷‍♂️

[@jamesroberts807]

The cat has a new hangout lol 😆 😂 🤣 😄

[@davidblain2714]

Just keep "Beating and Banging" Buddy .... We are behind you!

[@marcuscarrow3938]

John if you want to use a gasket the best ones out there for a good seal and will last on a turbo car are Remflex gaskets

[@farmerkevin]

Love low buck builds, not everyone can throw a SMX in their race car. Keep up the good work.

[@garywoodward847]

Definitely like the copper header gaskets. Should help tremendously.

[@mikerecords5530]

Back in the day that was a 1200 dollar set of headers. Fast paced production

[@robertdouglas3456]

Awesome pair of headers for the money! 🤩🤩

[@DonCatherman]

Good deal Turbo john... That point in them headers will help with exhaust pulse and scavenging for sure,,,,hope they help that sbc spool up faster as well..and of course go faster,,.👍👍😎💪💯....

[@b.c4066]

They sent metric bolts with my flowtechs, but for $250 I'm not complaining. They are a good set of headers. The merge spike is nice. I'm sending mine off to have them ceramic coated inside and out. Should help spool up

[@xjbeater8638]

About average how much is that?

[@garylucier6817]

Good to see John, finally my forged (nearly unobtainium), pistons arrived at the machine shop...of course now they are totally swamped with work though. At least you will be back up running before I am...month 9 on the project is almost gone on the 10th of October. Car is flat ready, just need the machined, blueprinted, balanced & assembled short block, and a trip to Vegas to pick up a couple of 5 gal pails of race gas now!

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Man, it never ends for sure....good luck on getting it back together quickly.

[@richardsloane7983]

Thanks!

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Thanks man!

[@jcnpresser]

I think monkey fab has some v-band flanges that take a copper o-ring you could use on the hot side, that way you wouldn’t have to mess with the headers.

[@mooklocklear1182]

Nice upgraded parts 👌

[@AndyFromm]

Those header gaskets will help

[@robbarabanoff7348]

Copper spray ....Torque heads ... Back off ... reTorque .... Let sit overnight ... ReTorque.... Boom no heating required 👍

[@b.c4066]

You can get a copper gasket that is reusable for that style vband, just heat, anneal and use indefinitely

[@Jvcomet]

Nice ! Looks like your going on the right direction 😎

[@brandonmoore6930]

Can’t wait to get my car together i was in a bad accident and my wife and son are Paralyzed so the race car got put on the back burner at least until I can walk again I got broke up bad but I got a Trans Am with a 6.0 LS stage two turbo cam and 94 mm turbo turbo 350 with a break and a 9 inch I would love to hang out and learn some from you and work on the hot rods

[@chadlavoie8609]

TJ ... If your going to set the small tire world on fire do just as you are... One small fire at a time ! ! Awesome video! Oh and that TP inside the header might change the way your motor sounds too

[@b.c4066]

Bought a set of the flowtech 1-7/8 stainless up and forward turbo headers this spring off eBay for $250.00 decent headers for the money

[@shoptimewithshay]

run the flanges on a 36 in belt sander. i only run some red rtv. no gaskets

[@motownXJdad9565]

mounting the heafers low would also mean less tubing on both the hot and cold sides

[@jalenyellock9407]

They make a great ls turbo manifold but the sbc ones are pristine

[@69chevelleguy]

I got the shiny version of those for my SBC due to availability reasons, but yeah they work.

[@gregsimon9061]

John I was just wondering if you are going to clean up the header flange?

[@shannonlocklear8116]

Hey John, love your videos. Will those headers work with angle plug heads?

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Yes they do

[@freddiemoralez1536]

Thanks for the update 👍

[@Carolina_Squid]

Old headers maybe for sale? Working on a sbc elco setup.

[@taptoretry7335]

Someone in the comments on an old video actually told you about those 1206s gaskets.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Look at educated John with glasses lol I think your net worth just went up

[@TurboJohnRacing]

LOL, the price of getting the grey hairs.....readers required.

[@YerkitRacingChannel]

LET ME GET THE OLD HEADERS!!! New ones look nice for sure!

[@hoost3056]

please make sure the block decks are level.

[@NoPrepFans]

Looking forward to seeing you at NPK

[@jimandskittum]

Spend some of those Youtoob bucks for some ceramic coating for the hot side and ditch the furry wrap.

[@DavidBrown-ep7ru]

Love the videos

[@billclark5943]

Sugaring - Shorthand for carbide precipitation. The price is crazy for a stainless header.

[@frediefarmer]

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 good luck buddy

[@michaelmcdonald587]

How long are the collectors

[@mikewillis4137]

Looks like (Christmas Time) at Turbo John's house 😁😁😁

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Except my pockets are bleeding money, lol.......Spent way more this month and last month than I should have.

[@evanarthur7535]

Break out the die grinder and clean up the slag around the pipes in the collectors.

[@motownXJdad9565]

why wouldnt you want to run those headers down and forward instead of up? seems like it would solve alot of your cramped space problems, and make plug and valve train service a breeze.

[@Whiti_G]

If your decking the surface of the head and going for a thinner gasket arnt you raising the cr ratio? Or are you no concerned with that? Just curious John

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Yes, the deck height was more on this block. So reducing the head gasket and cutting head will bring compression back up some. Gasket is .007 thinner and he took .006 off the heads.

[@topgunfm9755]

How do you mount the turbo?

[@nitro1631]

Can you get those in a spread port man those are nice

[@michaelwynne4346]

You didn't have a Aluminum Block before maybe that's why you got away with not re-torquing the heads.

[@benkalinowski5834]

Will the fit twins I in my 88 gta trans am Pontiac firebird

[@TurboJohnRacing]

They fit in a mustang pretty easy, I think your strut towers are wider.

[@Amxracer]

😎

[@bobaque70]

Niceness TJ!

[@melissamcallister2867]

Those headers match up to your D port design heads???

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Not exactly, but they should seal. I could not find any d port headers. Would have to be a custom set which I cannot afford.

[@benkalinowski5834]

Are these actually turbo how does the turbo bolt up

[@TurboJohnRacing]

These are the headers only, you have to finish building the kit.

[@benkalinowski5834]

@@TurboJohnRacing do you have the cut the strut tower area away to fit

[@stacyparker1299]

Nice!!

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

Datswhatsup keep grinding 😎

[@donalddooley4737]

Use in pinch John

[@danmyers9372]

Looks good John! If access to the inner bolts on the outside tubes is still challenging just add some additional clearance via a BFH.

[@danmyers9372]

Oh, you might want to take the headers to your machinist and have him check/square the decks on those flanges. Cheap headers are kinda notorious for the flanges not being square. Would hate to see you get it all back together and then have to deal with leaking headers at the head surface!

[@oldschoolbudgetracing1458]

Those are the same headers I have on my engine.

[@brandonrice8905]

Please buy some new exhaust tubing. eBay has cheap stainless. Less than $200.

[@sledfool1972]

Move the tranny cooler while moving weight

[@brentonk461]

Use the Copper, Not the Cardboard header gaskets.

[@th600mike3]

John I’m going to send you an email of a very good header exhaust paint…

[@dondotterer24]

Nice headers. I think they will work better. Some guys cut the flanges where the Vis to help seal seal individually better

[@PaulRhodes420]

I think this is gonna make a BIG difference! You'll be crossing that finish line faster than you could blink! 🚗💨poof!

[@alvinwilliamson2461]

For the price and you say it’s stainless that’s a good looking header you can’t even buy that much tubing for that price.And just because it’s made in China shouldn’t mean a thing.
