Here's mine, but, its a bit different lol Bloody hell - could you get the turbo any lower? You're certainly making it hard for yourself draining the oil. Why so low?

Here's mine, but, its a bit different lol Bloody hell - could you get the turbo any lower? You're certainly making it hard for yourself draining the oil. Why so low? Well, I had already done a standard Pro boost style manifold on the 750 and it was a job to keep that above the oil, so i ended up with a scavange pump and shit anyway, so when i came to build this system i thought, i want an intercooler, i dont want to get involved in moving the front mount oilcooler either, so how can i get it all in. Plus after reading all the turbo bike magazines, the likes of RB racing all seemed to build the system to fit around the components then engineer out the issues like oil return etc, rather than building a system just to get gravity return and then try and fit all the other stuff around the turbo. So i just thought i would try it this way. My problem, like alot of people is having big ideas but ZERO cash, so problems like oil returns etc can be easily solved by buying the right check valve, plus all the goodridge fittings/hose etc to fit. I cant justify the cash and am always trying to find others ways to solve any issue's, which ends being lots of trial and error and tinker time. But thats what i like and keeps my mind active. Anyway, this is how it actually looks. Not too bad in the end, but obviously well below the oil level.

just wondering... when you chaps make these turbo manifolds, do all the pipes from head to turbo need to be exactly the same length or does it not matter?

usually obtained with different length. since too little space for the same length. But this bike we tried to do the same length. The average length of pipe to get about 55 cm difference in length a couple of centimeters.

My second set of headers ive had a go at making .Tried to have a nice smooth collector and straight s possible into the exhaust housing . Now shows positive boost pressure 500 rpm earlier that before ( 4500rpm tdo4 - 16t )

Here are mine after ceramic coating. Engine is GSXR1100W. Original Hahn headers would not fit the car . . . not that I did not try hard to modify them

ceramic coating... mmmmmmmmm looks nice!. just another question about pipe length, does the length of the header pipes make a difference in the way the turbo works?. as in, is there a noticeable difference in lag or boost?. is it better closer to the head as possible?

Generally shorter headers allow the turbo to spool quicker. In my case the turbo would only fit in that one spot in the chassis, and the pipes go shortest route. The Hahn headers were longer with a long collector section, so that the turbo sat low under the crankshaft centreline.

Here,s the start of my set - i wanted a quality install like my other turbo bikes - so i went to FBM in rutland , england - i specified 316 stainless and a prismaic plenum -dave hooked me up with one of his hybrid IHI BB TURBO REFRESH KITS - - got a build log somewhere on here
