Home made race twins , Finally running !!!!!
- Thread starter TrentNell
- Start date
i think black turbos would put a kabash on the whole color scheme. BTW Trent, what size piping are you using for the coldpipes and the hotpipe?ya due to that color scheme you have you gotta do something with those turbos

Ha ya , i had to fab it by myself
:rofl: I dont blame ya, in fact thats a good idea when mine's time comes
When mine arrived, i thought, Oh cool my turbo is here, as I proceeded to drop a new nut as i picked it up fast, unexpectinglly:spit:
hot pipe is 4" and the charge pipe is 3.5 , intercooler pipes are going to be 3" maybe 3.5" on the hot side because i have alot of extra bends . what are you guys thoughts on 3.5" intercooler pipes ? not sure there is any benifit or not ?

Both Compressor covers are going to get powder coated , dont know what scheme yet , originally the turbo's were going to be black , the air pipes green and the exhaust pipes were going to be black or the VHT silver / satin color or what ever you call it, depending on what they get coated with and who does it I guess If i am short money i will just paint then flat black with high temp paint and just powder coat then turbo's and air pipes.

After looking at the pics for a bit I almost think the turbo's green, hot and charge pipes black, and the inter cooler pipes and y bridge green would look good , not sure i could do that much purple under there any one got Photo shop for experimenting

I think 4" is a tad big for the length of hotpipe you have, 3-3.5" would probably light the s510 easier. but, what do i know... i just mow lawns, plow snow, and run dyno cells at GM

To be Honest I just went with what the other big twinned trucks were using and that on my S480 kit it had a 3.5" hot pipe and worked with out issue and this one flows more on the exhaust side so figured .............., also didnt seem right to take and bush down the outlet of the S475 I guess if i have spooling issues I can try a few different size's.

I like the idea of 3.5" isnt the outlet on the I/C 3" though?
Also,Burns has some nice oval tubing if needed
That looks bad ass:thumb:. If you ever come dowm with Dmitri bring them pipes and we can redo them if ur still not happy.
Looks awesome as always!!! You need to look into the van water pipe. It routes different (curves forward instead of towards the back) than the ones on the trucks. It'd REALLY be nice for bringing the intake in from the driver's side. It almost lets you reah down to the cp3 in the valley with it swapped out. I'd recommend it. :thumb:

Pics?
Its not that i cant build anything different just at this point i am choosing what i think will flow the best VS what i think would look good from a cosmetic stand point .

Wouldnt that hit the 2nd CP3? If not, it sounds like another van part could help truck builds.
