Go fast/make power Fab thread- Lets see your work.

[Boostfed]

Hey guys- I wanted to start a thread to see some of the fab stuff you guys build when trying to pick up a bit of power or make your stuff a little faster. I find myself in the shop all the time looking at the race truck trying to think of something that might make a bit more power or help the truck down the track. I'd love to see some of the stuff that you guys do when you get that same kind of mentality going on. Figured I'd throw a few pics up of recent projects from the shop and would love to see your fab projects also. All you welders and fabricators post up!

Great work!

 

[TrailerHauler]

Nice job with the piping, that's a work of art! :thumbup:

good idea for a thread!!

Nice work on the intake thru the grill i really like how that came out.

 

[Boostfed]

Thanks guys. I'm ready to see some other creations!

Dustin- Thanks bud. I wish I had a pic with the front end on. I figured I should start something that wasn't a bumper or a headache rack thread, no offence to anyone, I just kinda got tired of seeing the same thread over and over with a different twist in the fab section on psn. Maybe this will shed some new light and show some new talent on the board.

Why a hood stack? Just too see the smoke better or any other reason?

Weight and to be able to see the smoke to aid spooling. We have the gates set soo loose for nitrous that its actually a little difficult to spool.... and... I just work here, I do what I'm told. lol

Hells yeah!!! Glad to see some more action here! love the intake runners. Why didnt the up pipes work? Those are some serious bellows!


Here is what I accomplished after hours in the shop tonite-

Not exactly what I had planned for getting it done, wanted to get a little more creative, but gotta do what the man signing the checks wants!

*** Sorry for the ****tay pics. Im working with the blackberry til I get my camera back to the shop where it belongs.

That turbo drain in the bottom of the pan has nothing but trouble on it.... turbo is not going to be very happy...

Don't worry, it was never used. He sold the truck to get an OBS with a 460.

i see what your saying and i agree

BUT wouldnt the oil drain act like a sight glass on a hyd tank? The oil level in the line automatically stays level with the level in the tank.

Don't really think so but I may be wrong. All the gas stuff I've done turbo setups on, I've tried to keep the return above the level in the pan unless a pump was used but, others may say differently.
