going to do something like this for the exit. front clip is going to be cut around it and Duzed to the chassis so we dont have to worry about taking the exhaust apart to get the front clip off.

That out to work like a dream.

That should work. Looks much better than the turning radius of a school bus now... How long till that carbon fiber plate catches fire....

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Mar 15, 2015

nothing changed, I just took the picture from a different angle. Tube protector will be removed :thumbup:

Rodslinger · Mar 15, 2015

That piece of carbon will be fine. What's going to be the exposure time to heat? 10sec maybe??? If you're worried about that catching, what about the tire??

Still looking good!

I'm going to assume the pipe will be wrapped.

rentstdi · Mar 15, 2015

How about a heat shield for the oil pump and belt area. I wouldn't want the heat to damage that belt.... I know it's early in the build

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Mar 15, 2015

It's not near close enough to that belt to be an issue. No wrap that is just extra unneeded weight at that point. I was going to paint that tube with header paint and call it good.

Plus this motor doesn't run crazy hot EGTs as one would expect. I was told to exspect 1500* EGTs right at the exhaust port.

I love my job

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Mar 15, 2015

I was about 4" short of thin wall stainless to finish the exhaust but it will be something like this. And before anyone asks there will be a mounting tab in the middle to suport that weight.

I'm starting to wonder why there's not more cars like this. Seeing as how everyone is an expert and all :shrug:

Man that's cool. I hope those turbos drain okay, pretty low on the chassis

They are going to drain directly into a catch tank and have a scavenge pump pump the oil back to the tank

Blow it.

Asking a question is kind of the opposite of being an expert, lol. Assuming that comment was directed in my general direction:blah:

Guy posts up a cool setup, Ima ask him about It.

Fwiw, I think this build is great. Matt is on point. If anything, I'm jealous I'm not involved, lol.:toast:

If your talking about the peice on the floor it's heavier wall 409ss so don't want to use it. All the parts on the car are 304ss

Lol this guy! Don't get so butthurt it was half sarcasm directed at everyone questioning/criticizing this thing. When you drop this kind of coin its safe to assume the guy knows what he's doing. But it wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

Car is looking great keep it up! I just wanna know what it sounds like
