Are you routing the tubes to the collector in a circular firing order????

List out the firing order..

18436572....

On the drivers side you have 1, 3,5,, and 7 for a firing order on that collector.
On the passanger side you have 8, 4, 6, and 2 for a firing ordeer on that collector.

Now, do the tubes going into the collector in those order create a circle pattern or do they criss/cross????

They are going to be criss-cross. I wanted to keep them in the right firing order, but with the way the tubes come out & with the lack of space, it was just not possible. I talked with a number of folks & pretty much they all agreed that it did not matter that much. If it was a NA or Nitrous motor it would be important, but the Turdbowl dont care.

Your not siliently rolling your eyes are you???? LOL. Its the first time building a set of headers & the first time for a turbo setup, so I figured I would end up building another set @ some point. I might try to get crafty on the 2nd set. we will see.

Nope. It's your car and your decisons.... How big is the motor going to be... Give me some info on what you are doing????

Its gonna be small. I have a CI limit & a turbo size limit for Real street. it will be 426 CI with an 88mm turbo. I am going to stick with a standard deck hight 4.250 Bore Dart block, I have a Billet crank that puts it right @ 426 inches. Im running a set of off the shelf AFR 305's. Victor Jr with a CSU 850 Blow Through carb. Im using 2" primaries with 3" collectors. 4" downtube off of the back side of the turbo.

I know that the car will make more power with higher end parts, but as I mentioned before, the car will not cert to anything faster than 8.50's (hell it might not cert to that, LOL), so there is no point in making any more power. I want to build it once & for it to last a few seasons. I dont mind upgrading &/or improving, but I dont want to be changing pistons every weekend.

see anything messed up with the stuff I have? I have REALLY tried to to buy my parts smart & get it right the first time. hopefully I have done a good job of that. about the only things I dont have yet is internals of the motor:

rods
pistons
block
new exhaust valves
shaft rockers
Cam

thoughts?

If there was a list of people how have the least amount of knowledge about a turbo setup I would be at the top of it Bob. Sounds like it should be a good piece.....

we will see I suppose. its all new to me. the only other turbo I have is my Cummins & its pretty much hands off. I change the oil & add fuel to it & it runs. LOL.
