Putra turbo "Clearance Issue"-fabricate/custom-post ur pics here

[virqai]

Update....cut out some row radiator to big,cut at dented row coz wastegate...

try fitting radiator...now here maximum clearance can get...

Now enough room...

Plan to locate turbo here,move far from engine block...is it ok?...dont worry about top radiator hose..

Passing pipe after intercooler will go..shot and lot of room...

nicely done :)
bt i guess the problem starts in a satria/wira/putra body when u have a 5bolt ford style turbine housing and a manifold that wasnt designed properly for clearance

Man
since it is done by our local, not many willing to pay for it i must say, takut not quality enough. Just imagine u put AMS mark on it, sure a lot will pay fot it..

Anyway, GOOD JOB bro! Really need more of your kind in our motorsport industries.

Btw, is the car for track or daily driving?

Hey bro, nice welding there..
my bro jus give me sample pipe that u use, very heavy man...
Any reason u use that thick pipe??is it because of high boost durability??

Ya..hey punk..thanks ...i use 304 gred,3mm thick stn.stell..like usual other exs fabricator use..
nope.. its not to heavy for me..compare oem header...but for sure all depend for header design.if log type sure really light...more long,more material right...but u can just imagine if its cas iron, all runner 17"length(out side conner) x 4 =68"=5.6'...weight???
reason...need more hot and lasting from band,twist,crack(if wrap) when hot,can hold more turbo weight..
Hope other Sifu also can help to answer your question...

great effort...if can hydrotest and DPT on that banana would be better to check any leakage...
