[Stock Exhaust Manifolds.............]

Splitting helps reduce warping when the material expands as it heats up. Is your split right in the center between the two adjacent bolts? If so, it's probably designed that way.

[Fs: Front Mount Turbo Hot Side Piping]

Hey everyone, I've got the hot side piping from my front mount turbo kit for sale. I'd like to start by saying that I know I don't have any reputation on this board, but I am a moderator over on performancetrucks.net, and I have been very active on GMFS and ls1gto.com as well. Please take a look at my trader rating on performancetucks.net and my profiles on GMFS and ls1gto if you have any concerns with the legitimacy of this thread. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask in the thread or send me a PM.

That being said, here's the details of what I've got for sale.

 

I am selling the hot side piping from my front mount turbo setup. This kit includes:

 

-Crossover pipe that bolts to stock driver's side manifold

----contains an O2 sensor bung for the driver's side O2 and a flex joint under the transmission

----will fit 2wd or 4wd...there is plenty of clearance for a front driveshaft

----bolts and gasket for crossover-to-stock manifold are NOT included

----bolts and gasket for crossover-to-log manifold ARE included

 

-Log manifold on passenger side

----This is the Cmotorsports manifold that Parish used to run on his truck

----has a T4 flange

----has a bung welded on for EGT probe just below the turbo flange

----turbo flange bolts and gasket are NOT included

 

-Downpipe and mid pipe to bolt up to stock style cat-back

----contains 2 O2 sensor bungs (one just below the turbo outlet for stock passenger side O2 sensor, and one further back for a wideband)

----downpipe-to-turbo connection is a v-band (v-band clamp IS included)

----old crank case venturi bung just behind turbo outlet has been brazed shut

----mid-pipe contains a 3" cutout pipe with cap, as well as a flex joint

----bolts to connect downpipe to mid-pipe ARE included.

----bolts to connect mid-pipe to cat-back are NOT included

 

-JGS 44 Magnum wastegate included

----v-band connection to manifold and downpipe

----v-band clamps ARE included

----light (4 psi) and heavy (8 psi) spring are also included. Heavy spring is currently installed.

 

-Three 90* plug wires included

----these are for cylinders 2-4-6 on the passenger side. Cylinder 8 fits a stock plug wire with no problems.

 

This would be a great setup for someone who is running moderate boost levels. I am switching to a thicker manifold because I have run into problems with this one cracking, as I run 12 psi on the street and 15 psi at the track. This would be great for someone looking to run up to about 7-8 psi. My roommate is working on fabbing the new setup for me, and I will have him prep and weld any cracks on this manifold before shipping it. Whoever buys this kit can rest assured that there will be no cracks in the manifold when you receive it.

 

 

 

I am asking $1400 shipped for this setup. I prefer NOT to use paypal for a large purchase such as this, unless the buyer agrees to pay the fees. There should be no fabrication needed on the hot side. This is all bolt-on and ready to go, and as stated above will fit both 2wd and 4wd models, any GENIII fullsize truck. The A/C line coming from the dryer will need to be rotated slightly to clear. See pics below.

 

The first set of pics here are the installed pics that I have to give you an idea of clearances and fit. These were taken after I first installed the kit. I have since removed the header wrap.

 

 

 

Overview of the layout

 

Here you can see the installed manifold. This is before we made the 90* spark plug wires. You can see why they were necessary :jest:

 

Here's a good look at how the a/c dryer needs to be rotated to clear the downpipe. This also shows the old crankcase venturi fitting that was brazed closed. Look down a little lower and you can see the location of the wastegate.

 

This shows the clearance around the front driveshaft and the driver's side O2 sensor bung.

 

Here's how the crossover is routed underneath the transmission bellhousing.

 

This is the area where the crossover and downpipe pass through.
