Cant run stock manifolds, over the top headers make for a lot more issues so I went to my local plumping supply store and bought materials to build a custom set of Log manifolds for the K30 street strip project called Crusty

Hey Fitzee, getting those pipes ceramic coated, will really help with the heat retention for the turbo and protect the leads and plugs at the same time. Love your work, it's both motivational and therapeutic 👍

That description is so accurate, I'm working on my first turbo setup and I originally planned to flip stock manifolds on a gen 1 small block chevy and it turns out its not a good idea in my opinion. Then I bought some flowtech headers that go up and forward and I was excited about how easy it is to get to the spark plugs. Its been a few months now and I'm still trying to figure out a way to set up a turbo without rebuilding the whole truck around the headers. I should of just built some log manifolds. I thought a K30 was a four wheel drive chevy truck, lol.

Hey Tony. Those logs came out really nice (as I expected from you). I wasn't going to re-install the heater when I restored my 1963 Fairlane. Glad I did. It's nice to have heat on the way home from those end of the season cruise nights here in Detroit. Great job buddy. Thanks for posting.

The problems with migs is that the longer you try to do a bead the hotter the weld seems to get with smaller cheaper machines, and as you said, it burns through. That's why I prefer, welding with stick when welding pipe. As you lay the bead down it doesn't continue to heat up and burn through the Pipe.

Yep! I did the same things - except that I made my turbo headers using stainless pipe bends. It was an exercise to see if I could actually do it. The headers came out ok and I have plug access and wire clearance. I can still use the factory air conditioning system (2001 Chev S10). The biggest issue was pieces moving around from the welding heat.

Hi Fitzee and Peanut. Thanks for another lesson from your garage laboratory on exhaust manifolds. Do not forget your gaskets for fit up and you might have to wrap your plug wire ends with heavy duty aluminum foil to reflect the heat. I want to know how hot and cherry those log manifolds get. Need to follow along the turbo and inter-cooler radiator design and boost ideas. Never messed with that technology.

Hi Tony. Back in early days of hot rodding, you had to make parts if you couldn't buy them. The manifolds remind me of the long side manifolds that you would see in pictures of the old Model A style hot rods from the 50's. Pretty unlikely that you could find headers for an LS powered, turbo charged, Toyota Corolla! Yours look great. Thanks for the video!

Just watching the exhaust fab on the LS and as usual your skills are undeniable! I saw the exhaust being run further away from the engine allowing for plug access and better clearance all around plus more options for turbo connection down the road. Smooth transfer in the exhaust is important for flow..I don't need to tell YOU that. Anyway another great show and don't change your format please. i used to watch vise grip garage until he got HUGE with sponsors and $$$$. You seem to be a REAL REALITY show and I love watching !

Agree with many, your usual Unusual, Successful solution(s). Thicker pipe - exactly like factory Cast Headers. For the heat, consider wrapping some Fiberglass header tape to protect wires/coils. The motorcycle guys have been using for years. And, please do not grind those beautiful stacks of Dimes welds. Your signature.
@skyfreakwi8 ай бұрын
I was thinking you could've cut two of those elbows into 10 pieces and radiused the flange side (for sure) and the log entrance for better flow. It just would have been triple the welding and cutting... I'm sure this'll be fine though. Intake is where you need your flow the most and you'll cram plenty of that in with plenty of pressure to spool up that turbo.

Great work and very informative as always! For what it is worth there is a more foolproof way to make those coping cuts to fit one pipe butt end into another round section. Instead of trying to cut out the half circle for the mating surface in the same direction as the mating pipe, make two 45 degree straight cuts (giving an included angle of 90) perpendicular to the mating pipe. The laws of geometry give you a perfect rounded cope.

Pretty sure For turbos Those log manifolds are better than alot of tube headers as its under pressure and the amount of pressure/volume/flow is the only important thing really as the pressure dosnt magical change infront of one cylinder unless is N/A with large tubes and even then is hars, as the exhaust pulse comes out it just raises total pressure
