Yep, fully legal...
What the engineer wanted to see was... Intercooler solidly mounted, tidy standard looking pipe work Intercooler not lower than cross members Quiet exhaust... it has only one muffler but is fairly quiet Heat shields over turbo/ protecting brake master cyl All wiring standard looking Non adjustable wastegate ( no boost controller ) Battery securely mounted using standard guage wiring or better and there was other stuff he was going on about that i forget now.. Basically as long as its tidy and looks fairly factory you shoudnt have any major issues... he was accually very impressed which I was pleased about... I was totally sweating while he looked over it... and under it |

Is that the stock cast manifold with a flange welded on for the turbo? Did you do that yourself? What welding equiptment was used to make the manifold? It doesn't look pretty in that pic, but it was functional! I'm sure it looks rather sexy finished!
This is so awsome, it's really inspiring! Wish i had the cash to hurry up and finish my turbo torana off. Cheers ToranaGuy

Yeah its the stock manifold... I cut off the lower outlet section, grinded out all the runner partitions and blocked it off with a stainless steel plate section, then I cut a hole in the side and welded a 3in 90deg steam pipe with a flange on top.
Yeah looks dodgy and nasty but painted up it looks more presentable, though the welding is still visably lumpy... but it flows very well. Tools I used... a basic arc welder, grinder and some drill attached grinder bits |

congratulations Chef
Im amazed that it passed an engineers certificate - not having a crack at your setup but because i thought they were so strict and that emissions tests were impossible to pass! Congrats What are the laws surrounding fitting a turbo?

Tools I used... a basic arc welder, grinder and some drill attached grinder bits Wow! Doesn't sound like it would be too hard to replicate your zorst manifold! Definatly a cheaper alternative to getting a custom made manifold from a zorst shop. I got a quote for the zorst for my torana's turbo setup, 3" off the turbo, going into 2.5 and a 2.5 straight thru muffler, about $600ish. More for stainless or to goto 3". Not sure if i can fit 3" around the diff yet. Did you replace your cat with a better flowing item? what's the size of the rest of your zorst system? Cheers ToranaGuy

Yeah, I put a 3in stainless cat. At the moment its the 3in off the turbo, into 3in cat then into a 2.5in mandrell bent Lukey "off the shelf" system, just the one muffler at the diff. Its nice and quiet but I plan on upsizing it soon... thinking of 3.5in off the cat, into a dynomax muffler and whatever I can fit over the dif... maybe twin 3in pipes over the diff, or twin 2.5 like the APS xr6t system... in stainless too
