3" exhaust for 2.8 turbo.

[mulover]

Here are the photos you (jimmu) and anybody else wants, of my exhaust from the turbo back, now i've just got to get the photos here??~!~!
So this one is the end of the exhaust, up out of the way and never gets touched:

This is the section behind the gearbox:

This is the muffler, 3" straght through, could be a bit higher yet:

This is right below the engine, 90 degree bend and flexy:

And these are all views of the manifold i made, its basically a retangular shape, you would need to go to an egineering shop to get it made:

[mulover]

[darkhunter]

go here www.photobucket.com
open an account
upload your photo's
right click on your photo that you have there
properties will give you the link details,
or use the copy url if using photobucket as they have made it easy
copy and post that link for image as follows

[darkhunter]

you modify post and look for pic of photo 2nd row 4th from left
[/img] put link between these
and presto

[mulover]

aha, that url way is easy, tried the other way from photo bucket and got that wee bow thing, not sure what that means. Thanks foor that darkhunter, i think the url way is better as it doesn't clogg the thread, thanks for that and i'll do the rest of the photos later.

Nice way to do the exhaust at the back. Also in that pic do I see drop shackles and a modified plate under the springs. How do you find those shackles and where did you get the low proffile spring plate?

[mulover]

Well spotted bugger caught out!!! yes they are folding shackles, 110mm closed, 220 ish mm opened. They are fantasitc!! flex and move and just let the suspension move alot more. They are only design number 4 though and still not right, they rub on the springs a little(mark 5 is not far away!!). As for the spring plate, i made them (I'm a engineer by trade), just a bit of 6mm plate, with shock mounts i spun up in the lathe. Have found that i'm getting too much flex and broke one of the upright bits off and stuffed a brand new shock!! If anyone is going to make these then the shock mount needs gusseted, one day i'll finish the mark 2 set which is the same idea but is a u section so even the bolts will be above the springs and i'm going to mount the shocks in a prymid set-up behind the axle to hopefully give me more twist!! Oh so much to do, oh so little money and time to do it!!!!

[darkhunter]

well done mulover,you just need to rotate photo's before posting them at bucket and change setting on camera to something like 640x480 fine setting and your pics will look tidier and be in a good size for everyone

[mulover]

Thanks for the help darkhunter was just having a play with the camera and got it sorted i think, And yeah, i should have rotated those pictures, so sorry to everyone, but i'll remember for next time, am still learning all this stuff.

[geeves]

For the spring plate have a close look at the one for sale to fit a FJ40 at www.genie4x4.com
He wont mind you stealing ideas from his product if he doesnt know (also they dont make them for or wagons so how can he complain) With these and the drop shakles you might be able to sell a few.

[mulover]

Yeah thought about that, those shackles in the photos and another set are for sale if anyone is interested, and i've got the spring plates sorted, just got to finish them and get my new ranchos!!! Thanks for the link, never hurts to look at other peoples ideas though aye.

[mulover]

Just had a look at those ones on gene and mine are going to be just about identical, so there for they should work!! yay!!

[richie]

you notice much difference after putting in the 3''?

[mulover]

Oh hell yes!! it really gets going now, no more top end speed but turbo spool-up and accleration up to about 3000rpm is wicked, especially since i put on that intake pipe as well, and she pulls away from really low revs now too, great for off roading a you can idel across something in a higher gear and still know you can drop the foot and power up in a hurry if you need to.

[geeves]

These shakles should be a separate post of there own but Im interested. What will be changeing on generation 5 ? Have they been oked by the wof man and how much? include freight to Wellington please.
let me know by pm or email if you like

No worries, I'll start a new thread sometime, and i'll figure something out over the next couple of days, I'll let you know.

[darkhunter]

i'd be interested to thanks mulover

[mulover]

Hey darkhunter, i've started a thread in suspension about the shackles. Give me a yell for prices etc.

[mulover]

Hi all, just been changing my photo bucket thing around so i've up-dated the pics and put in some better ones of the manifold i made.

[Jimmu]

Thanks for the pics.

Jimmy.
