BoostedBalls Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Here's the header I just finished for CarFreak85. It has 1.5" primaries and 1.75" up pipe with 4 bolt head flanges and stock IHI turbo flange in stock location. I do plan on polishing it but I need to fit it to the car to make sure it won't need any mods first. Just taking the stock pipe out was a sumnabish, I might have to jack the engine up to do it. The one above it is my 2" header with 2" primaries and 2" up pipe. I used a slip joint between the left and right bank. This is setup for a Garrett T3 mounted pretty high in the engine compartment because the Garrett is much larger and the spider intake is in the way. I think I'll also be adding a wastegate pipe to mount an external wastegate. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=10365&cat=500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 That is beautiful!!! I like that fact that you are doing the external WG thing so it's more tunable.Very nice work. What type of tig do you use?I really want to make one for ea81 n/a.I think it would be awesome! Any chance you are going to build one for ej22t? You definately have a gift.

carfreak85 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! That header looks SICK!!! I'm so stoked, thank you sooo much! I can't wait to get this little guy installed and.... MAN I'M EXCITED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A DOG Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 So what about regular headers for EA81s? I sure would like to have a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operose Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 yah, what about stainless er27 headers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedBalls Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 As far as ej22t and er27, I don't have the engine or car to use for fitment. All I have is an ea82 engine and chassis. I will be making one for an ej22t but it will be for a mid engine sandrail with the turbo mounted above the transaxle, Formula 1 style...well, at least the way they were mounted until F1 banned turbochargers in 1989.

subiemech85 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 easy way to remove crossover pipe is to hammer in the mounting tabs, raise front of car, remove whatever is still holding, let left side fall down, rotate, twist, slide, duck mine fell off one time for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedBalls Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Actually, that is my 2.3L HO Quad 4 sandrail. It's 10:1 compression and MPFI with 180hp 180lbs/ft with 7200 rpm redline, stock. I'm just gunna go with NOS on it, I just found out that Woodburn dragstrip will let me race it up there so it's time to build a wheelie bar! I pull wheelies in second gear in the sand when the engine hits it's powerband, feels like a dirtbike the way the power comes on. And would that be what we see in the background?

BoostedBalls Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I got pissed and used my sawzall to remove the driver side bank and the passenger side came right out after that. I just needed the passenger side piece to locate the turbo flange relative to my engine on the stand. easy way to remove crossover pipe is to hammer in the mounting tabs, raise front of car, remove whatever is still holding, let left side fall down, rotate, twist, slide, duck mine fell off one time for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 What type of tig welder do you use?Where do you get your tubing bent or do you do that on your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 how much would you charge for one for an EA82T with a TD04? Me likey the way it looks at the stock uppipe is gonna take a crap on me the instant I start getting itno it.

I bought the tubing pre-bent off an ebay store and had it shipped to Oregon for assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedBalls Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Does the TD04 have the same flange as the T3? I know the Garrett T4 is not the same, but I can't imagine you are installing one of those. I might have to make up a jig to make these things quicker. I don't really know what these are worth, I guess it will all come down to 1/4 mile times. I think CarFreak's headerr is gunna be much more streetable than mine, but I'm not going for streetable.

The welder is a Lincoln Precision TIG 185 The TD04 has basically the same flange as a stock IHI RHB5 that came on the EA82Ts. The only mod I had to do to my uppipe was pull out the back stud on the uppipe and then weld it back onto the flange about 1/2" back. I'm not really going for streetable but I will drive it on the street. I already got a 3" exhaust on it and its loud still but meh, I don't care:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll find the name of the store I ordered my stuff from and post it up here later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedBalls Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Don't buy that one! They suck, the only stainless parts on it are the wire weave and some Pepsi can thin stainless inside. Not much to weld to on this kind. In retrospect, I should have just clamped it or found a better flex joint. I used a slip joint on the bigger header. Ther is about 3" of overlap and it fits tightly. When the smaller inside pipe heats up, it expands and seals the gap almost perfectly. The outer pipe is colder so less expansion. We'll see how it works out. Who made that flex pipe?

4WDFrenzy Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 What about putting the flex joint on the uppipe portion? Most exhaust leaks on the EA82Ts are because of flex at the turbo mounting flange. This should reduce the amount of stress applied to the header and mounting flanges. Either way, those are some butt-kicking headers! Kudos to you Good Sir! Oh I replied to your email reply.
