Corolla1 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 just a couple of tricks: Machine the flange flat before welding anything onto in take lots of time to organise pipe layout (Clearances between starter motor, steering boot, chasis, clutch, ect Weld pipes in stages (e.g 1-4 to the collector, 2-3 to the collector then weld 2-3 onto flange, ect) don't get too much penetration on welds (too much penetration will reduce the ID of the pipe causing more restriction) get pipe lengths as equal as possible tack pipes together before welding properly get extractors machined flat after all welding is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corolla1 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 hey looks like it should be nice, should go hard how did the excel radiator fit was there much chopping envolved. also nice job on the extractors. I had to cut on both sides of where the existing radiator was. I wanted to make the radiator as high as possible so the engine wont get an airlock. heres another picture of the completed extractors I have now ordered fuel pumps, a T3 manifold for ITB's, Vacum tank, ect.

Taz_Rx Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hey mate. where did you get your steel fuel line? was it expensive? You'd want to run atleast 3/8 for your 308 mate. 8/ An engine that size I would probably run 1/2 inch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well where they have 5/16 its fair to say they'd have 3/8 aswel. Just seeing where people source their steel line from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
