twin scroll for kombi torque

Well some time ago i aqquired a twin scroll VF38 to replace the TD04 i had been running on an EJ22 in my kombi. I had read good things about its early torque production which is very useful in a kombi used for puttering along dirt roads in second with big hills ahead...

at the time i mentioned it i had some hilarious responses(http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=81700) but finally found some time to do something about it.

being twinscroll my homemade manifold needed reworking...this is what ihad before:

so into the 14" cutter

last time i used gal waterpipe but went upmarket this time and bought a length of fire sprinkler pipe from the recycle for ten bucks....36mm ID...perfect...many many cuts on the saw...neighbours would hate me except Ian used to have a kombi...

anyway....

test fit was good so time to weld it all up

have to adjust the dump pipe a little and a few other things

then it will be time to see....boost from 1600rpm?

geez just noticed the surface rust on the rotors of the bikes...better go for a blast and get rid of that😂

I'll be interested to see what you think of it.
Is it going on the 20 or the 22?
I've got a VF23 there but my subi guru tells me a TD04 would be a good choice for the 22.

Joel in your case yes i think the TD04 would be perfect...lighter weight and only road use...the kombi was a weapon on the highway with the TD04 but i'm looking for lowdown grunt...at present i'm running the EJ20T but the plans are for the EJ235...just playing😎

Also have a TD04 surplus to requirements going cheap....

Wow, I have that same compak welder sitting in the garage. Just keeps going.

i like the mandrel bends 😀

heheh yeah its gotta be ...oh no...40 years old...gulp🙅

jesus!!!!

i like the 14" cutter and the chinese safety boots 😉

be interesting to see how it runs....

not quite running yet but it looks like it should be swimming in loch ness instead😂


just finishing off the dump pipe and intake as they are different to the TD04
