manifold for a super nice turbo setup im building, no one is building anything like this out there. 321, inconel, and all v-bands 
fixture blurred for keeping secrets, fixture does weigh over 50lbs i think, all aluminum.

Radiator pretty much 99% done and welded, then intercooler tanks welded up but not attached. Going to machine some weld ferrules so i can use wiggins clamps. Much cheaper machining your own weld ferrules and o-rings and all you buy is the clamps. Anyways here are pics, kinda different not sure if i fully like the intercooler setup as its not your standard setup but its cool none the less.

Well I should have some very nice **** sunday night if all goes well this weekend. Building a fully v-banded rotated setup this weeked. Only flanges in the system are going to be to the heads, everything else is v-band throughout the entire exhaust setup. 321 stainless steel headers, inconel 625 uppipe, 321 downpipe. Turbo is a hta86 with the Tial stainless housing.
Pretty much going to sh*t on just about anything out there.

ummm maybe, but its not for the excursion, might have posted in the wrong thread, its for a suby.
So i made 2 of these little guys today on the cnc lathe at work. Got a pdf from TIAL a couple weeks ago with some dimensions of the flange, took the dimensions that I needed and made a solid model of what I wanted it to look like in Solidworks, then on to the machining phase. 1 of them is for a fixture for the rotated setup. 2nd one will be used on a welding positioner to weld the v-band flange on. To make sure your v-bands dont leak, you always want to weld the v-bands clamped to another flange or a big chunk of aluminum that has the same dimensions which keeps the flange your welding from distorting from heat and the aluminum also does an excellent job of acting as a heatsink pulling the heat out of the flange.
