AMS EVO X Turbo kit Development
Since we let the images go in our USCC thread I thought I would start one dedicated to anything and everything Related to the development of our EVO X Turbo kit.
I'm sure you guys knew we were working on one, LOL. I thought it only fair we start to share some images of the header. The kit will be a V-band kit using a Tial V-Band housing with Garrett based turbos and A Tial44 MM wastegate. The header is really a work of art. Our engineers once again put their heads together and came up with one hell of a design. Using a cast header our options open up a bit on what we can do.
Here are some CAD drawings of the header and the plastic Rapid prototype we had made to test fitment.
Enjoy!

Also the engineers wanted me to note that the runner on the end of the plastic header has a pretty decent kink in it. If you look in the drawings it does not. Initially that kink was there because we thought it was needed for clearances. After test fitting it we noticed we could use a much smoother design which is now depicted in the CAD drawings.

You know I'm very impressed with your graphic 3d Design of these parts before they are actually built.. It helps to really design it well in your head before even using a single tool to create it. I'm just curious.. What is the process that you guys take to get the drawing to an actual complete piece. Is it some type of molding machine or how does this all work.. Just curious.. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Peace.
Looks like your guys rapid proto type house didn't have a machine big enough to make the header part as one piece, is that the case?
We use www.rpdg.com they are really well setup for every type of RP process, have your engineers check them out.
