I'm gonna get started on making the header for my turbo setup. The thing is, I'm doing it in phases. Phase 1 is boosting the F22B1 as it sits right now up to 12 PSI or so. Once that's done and all the kinks are worked out, Phase 2 is doing a H22A head swap with some headwork and bottom end work and boosting to about 16 PSI or so.
So since Phase 1 is only temporary for a few months or maybe a year or so, I wanted to go as cheap as possible on the header since the B1/H22A flange pattern is different. Phase 2 wold have a nice header made from thick, top quality shit, but for Phase 1 I just wanted to hack up my current F22B1 NA header, re-shape it to a turbo manifold and weld it all up. It's made of T-304 stainless, exhaust ports are 1 7/8" each and about 1/16" thick, the flange is about 3/8" thick.
Here's a pic of it:
How long do you guys think it will last till it cracks? If I can get it to last 6mos.-1year I'm fine with that.
Thanks for the feedback
