Over the last few months we’ve been putting a lot of focus into growing other areas of the business, particularly commercial pipe spooling, coded pressure welding, and larger fabrication projects.

We’ll still be doing automotive work, but we’ll be toning it down a little and focusing more on the bigger projects we’re genuinely interested in, rather than relying on a high turnover of smaller jobs.

With that said, check out this weapon build we recently completed!

George’s new HQ build in for a pretty wild turbo setup. We have done a few cars for George over the years, the engine and turbo manifolds were kept from his VL we done a couple years back and used on the new HQ build.

We managed to keep the passenger side manifold ending at the collector and fabbed from there. This was mainly just to save time as he wants to get the car to gazzants.

The car runs a built LS3, t400 and shortened 9” combo
Georges instructions were, big turbo, no pipework visible through the grill, make it sick. Free range and the budget needed to make something awesome.

✅fabricate 4-1 drivers side manifold with 2.5” 304 crossover
✅ garret gtx5020r gen2 turbo with a tial 1.45a/r rear housing and a single 60mm turbo smart wastegate, this was the biggest challenge to fit.

We spaced the radiator and front mount I/c forward 20mm for the turbo and keep the i/c pipework behind the grill.

A 60mm Turbosmart gate was the next challenge getting it in a decent location for good boost control, I ended up having to go underneath so the turbo still cleared the massive Aussie desert cooler radiator n fan combo and stayed under the bonnet.
Ported collector,t6 vband housing for the turbo and a 65nb steam pipe to the WG

✅fitted plazmaclamps to on the I/c to get through the rad support with very limited space we kept 3.5” off the turbo but had to go back down to 3” to stay inside the grill, expanding to 4”, notching for the rad unfortunately

✅5” dump to 4” exhaust hurricane muffler dumped at the diff with a 2.5” screamer.

We handle a lot of small titanium jobs like this, where proper purge welding and controlled heat input are critical to ensuring the material maintains its integrity.

Reece’s VR Calais in for custom exhaust system to suit his L98 conversion. They don’t come up often in this condition! One of the cleanest grandpa spec early girls around, the original paint and interior is 👌

We adapted our go to twin 3” to single 3.5” system to suit the IRS rear squeezing a 14” muffler in the middle. Tucked up as high as possible from the headers back.

Kaileb’s GU patrol in for 2.5” 304 stainless cooler pipes, 3” turbo back exhaust and airbox install.

We usually do Ali cooler pipes these days but the kit previously fitted (existing holes) goes through the guard like most off the shelf stuff. This means the cooler pipe is exposed to the tyre, being a 4x4 we opted for stainless for durability.

While it’s a bit more work with the power steering lines and cooler we prefer to go under the airbox keeping the intercooler pipe inside the engine bay on the Gu patrols.

Michaels Mazda 3 in for a 3” 304 stainless custom exhaust system to get the most out of his fresh engine rebuild. The car presented with an off the shelf system that was fouling in the body in multiple places.

We fabricated a new system with a high flow cat and single straight through hurricane muffler. Purge welded, Vband connections with a 4” exit.

Dom’s GU patrol in for the works. Dom removed the intake manifold, turbo manifold, ufi turbo and cooler pipes off his previous patrol Ute that we done a few years ago now. The plan was to reuse what we could in the series 4 wagon with a few decent upgrades aimed at reliability on remote trips up north. Works included

✅remove factory turbo setup, intercooler and intake manifold
✅double bake ceramic coat the rear housing, turbo manifold and dump pipe.
✅upgrade all studs including the head to titanium
✅EGR delete, modify heater lines for clearance
✅install plazmaman intake manifold and huge PDI front mount
✅relocate power steering cooler and reroute lines for intercooler pipe to run under airbox keeping it inside the engine bay
✅mount 14” Spal fan to the front of the intercooler plate
✅modify stainless cooler pipes to suit FMIC and repolish
✅3” 304 stainless exhaust system, hurricane muffler, passivated and polished finish
