ok, so im building a turbo fireblade engine and ive tried to make my own headers for the project but thus far have had no success due to lack of welding knowledge !!.

have any of you got any ideas of who could make one or if anyone has any for sale

I do have a turbo flange for the turbo tht im using so theres a start !!

by the ways its 893 cbr engine


thanks Alan

Bulk buy?
What sort are you looking at? Engine hugging inside the bodywork or outside?

lol engine hugging me thinks. ive tried my best with an old manifold but to no avail... plus there too thin...U can buy a collector and all the bends etc. .. its just the weldingf it together that throws me !!!

Welderman on here did a cracking job on his one, turbo in front of the engine, mine is slung down the side and forward 1/2 in 1/2 out.

The issue I see is where your engine sits in the car, mine dodges the frame tubes and my engine is in line with frame side so not the centre of the car. It really is something that needs doing in the car IMHO.

I saw an R1 turbo'd car the other week, it had a fantastic looking install with the turbo under the scuttle although heat was a problem.

Standard tubes are thin, You can make from 1.5" stainless bends and reuse the standard brackets and lathe out the round bits that crush the copper washers to fit.

The hard part for was planning and welding in the correct order.

Where do you live BTW ?

Live near Morpeth, Northumberland

Mines made up from 1.5mm thick stainless steel elbows

If you can't get anyone close enough to sort you one out then I will have a go for you. Who ever does it will probably need the car and engine to get it in the right position

Is it an oil cooled from the engine or like marks with the oil in the turbo ?
