FP3065 with custom equal length manifold project

[turboed420A]

Well Guys,

I went and spent a bunch of money on a project that is going to change the way of our 420a ("not worth turboing")...

I ordered the 3065 from Forced Performance it is basically a GT30R turbo but it has a custom housing made by FP that is stainless steel (seven pounds lighter) and it uses v-band clamps for the dp and 44mm Tial wastegate that is going once I come up with a extra $400...

The biggest problem of this project is the manifold. The design will be similar to full-race's (I tried to have them make it, but I can't drive my car to AZ) A local connection through the shop is going to build a equal length from stainless steel (no wastegate flange). I guess it will take two weeks to make, but when this bad boy gets on..

I'm going to use my existing 3" dp, just cut off the three bolt flange and put the v-band on...

Fuel system is OK except for the pump... AEM EMS, AEM 1:1 FPR, 800cc injectors, still using the inline from the Hahn kit.. I haven't picked a new one yet, any ideas? I already know of the sumo and other huge ass pumps that cost way too much money.. I haven't heard of anyone that maxed out the inline from Hahn yet?

Intercooler piping needs to get upgraded too..My local muffler shop (Portland Muffler) said they will build some 3" piping and flange on a Tial BOV.. Unless you guys think the Type-S BOV will handle that much boost? I doubt it though

Pics will come when the UPS god arrives next week with the FP3065 and the stages of the manifold development/placement. I'm guessing around late Jan. or early Feb. it will be done .

some guys on 2gnt have started making an tubular equal length runner manifold. Have you seen it? Before i got my star kit I was in the groupbuy for the NER kit when shaun frank screwed everyone over. Me and 2 other guys were the first to pay off the kits in full from 2gnt before "his shop burned down" I got half my parts and so did keith (lotalon) on 2gnt. His manifold was tubular with equal lenth runners. I have pics of it but dont have the manifold anymore I sold what parts i did get from shaun for 2 grand locally. Good luck with your setup tho. Post pics and make sure the guy that does it doesnt half@55 do it and it crack a few days later.

gorko i was in that boat with shawn, sonvienient that the shop burned down. ####er still owes me a grand, fat chance of that. i still have the mani on the car it is tubular and equal length. i think i might be the only one of us to still run the ner kit, well what i have pieced together anywayz.

Wow, yeah he still owed me a grand. he sent me the turbo, manifold, bov, and piping but didnt sent my fuel press, oil press, boost, egt, a/f ratio guages or safc, oh yeah and the entire fuel setup, wastegate, and fuel cut defender. Keith/lotalon still has his on there i believe but he may have sold his car so you very well may be. The guy who bought my kit put it on someones car with the parts i sold him(OH NOES) made a wastegate for it(??) and put it up to 10psi with no fmic. When the guy got back in town and found out what the mechanic did he told him to take it off and give him his money back. he took it off set my friends car on fire and didnt give him a dime. Hes just as bad as that no talent @ss clown shaun. Oh btw i still have pics of shauns shop with no hint of a fire. A guy on 2gnt drove to his shop to find it still standing. I was lucky tho. I immediately got my CC company on him. So i sold the half kit for 2,000 and got a full refund for everything from the cc company because they couldnt get ahold of him. I'd like to see some pics of your setup if you have any. You can email em to me at [email protected] or catch me on aim: gorkoracingsDSM. Sorry for whoring the thread, i just still have a deep hatred for shaun and what he did to everyone.
