Oh boy!! Wiggins clamps!

AustinL911 04-03-2007 12:55 PM

I believe it is MDMC that built it, IIRC. The 1300R Z06 or something like that. They posted pics of the early stages of the TT build months back.

Wiggins clamps give me a chubby.

Tony @ MPH 04-03-2007 01:09 PM

Unfortunately the welds nearby the Wiggins clamps kind of ruin the whole effect of having a Wiggins clamp right there...

Those are some clean looking welds though! :cheers:

Nice looking motor!

By the way Noob, I Really Like your Avatar! :cheers:

What no A/C??? :eek:

Why would you need wiggins clamps on the inlet to the turbo?

rodney@rpmtransmissions 04-03-2007 02:40 PM

I wonder what transmission/diff is behind it?:D

peter pan 04-03-2007 02:47 PM

Wow that is one great looking engine bay:cheers:

ajg1915 04-03-2007 03:08 PM

That's a wild looking TT setup. I haven't seen any TT with sheet metal manifolds.:eek:

No budget and they look cool! :yesnod:

Cobra4B 04-03-2007 04:37 PM

I remember seeing a pic or two back in the build process... so amazing.

Well, look at the welds on the turbo plumbing just after the turbo (downpipes) and then look at the welds near the clamps. They need to hire the same guy who welded the downpipes to weld the Wiggins flanges on as well as the downpipe welds are clean, clean, clean!

Still a sweet car regardless of the welds, and I certainly could not do any better so no offense meant by my comments :cheers:

Thanks for the compliment on the avatar, got $2?

Not to be a hater but.....

You do realize that you are comparing Alum vs. Steel welds right?

Thats apples and oranges my friend, when it comes to welds.


Most "pretty" alum. welds, don't hold for junk, and have poor penetration of the metal. So, honestly from a durability standpoint, though welds look perfect, maybe a touch shaky, but good beads on them.

You're saying the plumbing before the throttle body and the plumbing on the compressor inlet is a different material than the downpipe?

:eek:

All I can say is BLING!!!

I believe the poster is correct. Look at the welds on the intake and how similar they are to the welds on the inlet pipes. I believe you need more penetrating material and a cooler flow with an aluminum weld than you do on the steel welds.
Never the less a very nice job and the thing must be a monster. I wonder how this car would stack up against the infamous 1000 RWHP LPE C6 we saw on here not long ago.
