The GTR beast is awake after almost 1 year....updated Feb. 1

I'm wonduring where do you get the titanium tubing and plate?

fred

I have been looking for 4" ti OD .040 wall for 3 months and it next to impossible to find. Burns Stainless sells that size for $85 U.S./ft min purchase is 14' That is way overpriced in my opinion. I snapped up the tube and the plate on ebay for a descent price.

Shappiro Supply and Titanium Joe are good places to look for various bits of ti.


JD74..... Full-Race manifolds are worth every cent!

That manifold is simply a work of art.....no other way of describing it.

The 6Boost Manifolds are nice as well, don't get me wrong......but Full Race seems to be in a League Of Their Own .......you know, without the 'Crying in baseball' and all

The Tial wastegates,box of random parts and a couple stainless elbows should be here in 3 weeks. I'm going to start cutting up and welding the exhaust pipe first, so to answer your question it should be ready in about a month.

I also need to repo my datalogit back so I can throw in the mafs and injectors

thx for the info, i've been serching for the passed month. Did you really get the 4'' OD .040 ti at 85$ us/ft?

hehe you think ti is overpriced, should look at the cost off inconel 625( pretty shure you know what it is ), i was going with inconel cause of its mecanical proprieties for my turbo manifold and turbo-back exhaust system, but reconsidered for, cause of the price.

-1.5'' sch10 316 for turbo manifold
-5'' OD .049 321 for down pipe
-5" OD .065 6061 aluminum cat-back

If i find a good price for titanium, ill switch my almium cat-back and fabricate the turbo inlet and cat-back with ti.

sorry for my wrighting i'm doing the best in my knowlege, my first language is french. If im hard to read please tell me.

I would never pay $85U.S./ft...lol

I picked up ALL my titanium, stainless and ti tig rods for $600 shipped!!!!! That was THE deal for 2009 for me. I highly doubt those prices would ever be seen again.

You 5" exhaust sounds a little oversized without even knowing what turbo you have.

if you ever go passed a deal like that again for ti, shot me a PM please

oh sorry my bad, forgot to say what turbo i have, its a Garrett GT47-88.(the outlet is 5") so going 4" could be kind of restrictive.

gotta note the turbo is powered by a strocked 351/432 winsdor.

Wow!

Are you building in a jig ? based on current piping ? or are you going to do it from underneath/fresh on the car ?

I'm just going to copy the angles on my Arc exhaust except at the muffler. I'm going to use a 4" IDx 12" length Burns Stainless coming out facing the left rear tire at a slight angle so it straightens the exhaust a bit.
I'm going to make a silencer bung for it as well because the Arc bung drops a lot of decibels off just in case the sound police come out at AutoX and to keep the neighbors happy when I warm up my car before work at 6:00 A.M.
