New D-Port Turbo Headers now available.
I want to fist point out that I have no gain in this informational post. I just want to get the word out in hopes to advance the Pontiac community and specifically present options for the D-port crowd who have been thinking about going to a Turbo but have not due to the lack of Turbo manifolds and the expense of making a one off custom set.
I wanted to share information about a new product that is now available from Stainless headers. As some may know we did a Group Purchase for Turbo Header manifolds a few months back however they where only available for the Round port heads. We have gone back and forth with Steve with questions and ideas for D-Port turbo manifolds a couple times during the group purchase a few months back. He saw that we had enough interest generated from PYF to convince Steve to look into possible D-Port designs... And not only did he look into it, he now offers them offers D-Port Turbo headers. Here is the information I have for them. Quote:
If anyone has any questions or concerns, contact Stainless Headers directly. Please post any information learned here so the rest of us remain informed with the latest.

Nice addition to the community, it'll be easier than ever to split the stock block down the middle. LOL
I'll have to contact them about a turbo mounting flange and DP, maybe a kit is the future.

Wow! Those would look great on a NA street rod, like a '32 Ford coupe - no hood.

Just give Steve a call and let him know how you found him... he is a great guy to work with.
Steve Zimmerman Stainless Headers Mfg., Inc Phone: 651-448-8661 Fax: 651-448-8675 1135 North 7th Street Lake City, MN 55041 I have a set for my 69 Firebird. Its looking like I will have to clearance the frame for them to fit... but thats really no big deal for me... just some cutting and welding... And honestly I'm not fully decided if I wont be going to a full aftermarket front sub frame. If I go that route, there will be no clearance issues... still a ways out from that point. But either way, It appears to be easy enough if you have a metal cut off wheel and a welder. SPEED SAFE, NICK

Can you show a picture of where it hits?
Is it hitting on the log (2.5 pipe) ?

I may end up just notching the frame where the headers run... It really doesn't look like to difficult of a task if you have a welder and a free Saturday morning. I plan to cross that bridge when I get there.
I will admit I like the whole set up hes built... I just not so sure I have that level of skill... Well actually I do know that I dont. But I do know i can notch the frame. SPEED SAFE, NICK

I am running Round Ports. I currently do not have my block together to answer your question... however I think there where some pictures posted of some people who have installed them on an engine stand. Ill see if I can dig some pictures up to help you get a better visual.
there is a picture of them installed on a block on an engine stand in this tread. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...=834392&page=5 I also have a couple pictures i have found of some installed on other builds I think some are from Mystic... I hope these help SPEED SAFE, NICK

Yeah, I get it... I know lots of people are not to keen on cutting the frame or any part of their cars however, I think this can be done and patched in a way that nobody would ever know it was done unless they where told about it. Just need a cut off wheel and a welder... may even be able to use the same material being removed to use for the patch... I know most people dont own a welder most... But it may be a good excuse to pick one up...
SPEED SAFE, NICK

But the "UHH" and "AHH" 'strokes' would not spot it because they would be looking at the Turbos vs looking at the mods required to install the things in the chassis. They would miss if you cut out the firewall, installed a "wheelbarrow bucket", and moved the engine back 4 inches in the chassis. Tom V.
