In this episode, I go through the process of making my (not very professional) DIY stainless steel exhaust for the turbo Micra.
By no means did it end up perfect, but fabricating it was good practice in case there will be a next time, and knowing myself, there most likey will be.

I've been watching since you got the car and I was about 13-14 at the time and you have inspired me to get a car and now I own a Audi a8 d2 and I love working on it I really appreciate you for inspiring me to get into cars

Haha, I'm very happy to hear that, I haven't seen many A8s of that generation, really rare here in Ireland. That's really cool, good luck with it.👍

Well done man! Just wanted to give you an advice: do some kind of hanger/bracket to support the weight of the turbo, or once you start to use it it will ruin a lot of gaskets and it will be a pain in the ass Keep up the good work!

Good point. I'll take it into a count and sort something out for it. Thanks👍

Great video and some confident welding. Something to keep in mind when tig welding like this is the power of that ARC and its effect on exposed skin. I would highly recommend a set of tig gloves unless your a sucker for that juicy radiation 😅. And aslo stainless steel when welded will produce some nasty toxic gasses, so just be aware of that too. A decent respirator is always a good shout. Great videos man. 🇮🇪

Happy to hear that. Next video on turboing the Micra will be about routing the intake piping and fitting an intercooler, but haven't really started on that at all yet. I am currently editing a video on flipping the Toyota Yaris, you might've seen it on TikTok if you follow me there👍

quick idea, why not use the design of the exhaust flange and make a gasket out of some laser cut 0,3mm stainless steel?

@the_mintiest_micra 5 ай бұрын

I was thinking about that. I wasn't sure if it would seal as good as the gasket material type, though, but I might actually look into that now, cheers.👍

Well no one is saying it needs to stay on a 1.0l. Them and the 1.4l share the same head. For now I'll enjoy the 1.0l road tax with more power than a stock 1.4l🤣

I've been waiting for parts for the last while, next up for the turbo set up will be intercooler and intake piping but I've got some other videos that will come first, had to weld a new sill, trying to make a spoiler for it and will try some new springs.

@@the_mintiest_micra excellent! Loving builds like this. These top youtubers with lambos etc are just not relatable.
