Mattsv8 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 No im just using it for mock up and some measurments. the headers will b universal either twin or single but he is checking fitment arround steering on booster and shaft and manual brakes. if they fit well he is going to sell them for s10s then make some for f bodys. he is a ford guy too but he sees the need for this in the gm world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 i dont think his 78s are that big..i know there a 3 1/2 dp iirc. best bet is to call him during the day and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 no but i want to see it happen. a bolt on turbo header for s10s are non existant. and if they do well wich im shure they will. a f body setup will follow. if they fit and all goes as planned ill have a set on the blazer and camaro. but only time will tell.

Mattsv8 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 headers shipped out today. cant wait to get them on and see the final product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I say if you go through the hassle of taking off your headers and turbo, risking exhaust leaks, busted knuckles, down-time on the car, and take the time to do pictures/tech support the guy should at least give you a set of headers for your blazer or a back-up set for the s10 should your existing headers rust out/crack... If it were my performance parts company I would not think that would be unreasonable as his alternative is to buy an S10 and swap a v8 in it or at least another one if he is checking for production variance in motor mounts or something but that's just me- I guess I am not as nice.

Mattsv8 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 the exh already has leaks too. its had exh leaks from day one. on the v bands. there is about a 1/4 in gap on the driver side header to the crossover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 driver side header is here for mock up. these would fit any third gen camaro proably any malibu/chevell and nova. they are stainless and 1/2 flanges. bad ass in my book. im mocking them up as we speek. cant wait for my two sets. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Mattsv8_03/SSPX4395.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Mattsv8_03/SSPX4396.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Mattsv8_03/SSPX4397.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 the exh already has leaks too. its had exh leaks from day one. on the v bands. there is about a 1/4 in gap on the driver side header to the crossover. Do you have anything passing through the Vband or are they just mating flat to flat? For a Vband to work correctly it needs to have a section of tubing passing through it, so when they are together that section enters the opposite flange. What seasl them is that section passing through heating and expanding into the to opposing flange, not the flat surfaces of the V-band. Most companies/people dont use them correctly and they leak. headers look good. I think we trained (SCT) the guy who owns that shop out in california when he had a different shop (I think it was DPR maybe?) But his mustang looks familure.

Mattsv8 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 no they made them flat and thats why all 3 vband leak. also one pipe has a huge gap up and out of the header wich makes it a pian in the ass. i knew about the pipe extending threw i figured they did too but i guess not. i didnt know about it untill i had to take it apart and fix the leaks. wich is a no go. the only real way to fix it would be cut them off and new pipe and start over. wich im shure wont get done for free. but should be since its made incorrectly this header we are working on will proably end up with a short collector and a t4 flange. and proably a v band by special order. im deff going to get a set for the camaro and maybe the blazer.

Mattsv8 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 i should have some mock up pics tomorow depending on how i have to move the steering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 just fyi the race part solutions v band are made with the extension threw them. bad ass peices for the money. and what i may try to fix these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Doesn't look like the headers are made of Stainless. If you need V-Bands I have some that are a bit nicer than the RPS ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 You can make rings to put inside the V-bands, I've done that a few times to "fix" that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
