Don't we all. There was only like 15 of them laying on the floor yesterday.
 
Hey,

Can I get in on that...

Looks like Garret. Garret = Good.

I'd really like to know what type of performance you wind up seeing outta that thing. So, come Dec. 28th and the track opens I'm [as well as most of us one here] are gonna wanna see some numbers of what exactly it will do.

Good luck with the install [ hmmm .. I'll be over later].

Thanks,
 
Petey bird!

Come over, and lets slap this badboy on. I don't want to do it myself.

Garret is good.
 
Cool.

Nice meeting you. Get those boost leaks fixed and lets get that badass turbo going.

I'm getting another TB gasket tomorrow. and then I should be in business

PS

Did you guys here my BOV when I left?
 
I think I just filled the cup. That setup is gorgous. Im so freakin jealous. I wish I had money. :(
 
looks sweet ........but why is it in your bed ? LOL
keeping it safe huh ? j/k hehehehehe

Later

Its in my bed cause its "my precisous". I like to rub it down, light some candle, dim the lights, pour it some red wine, and show it a good time before I put it on and make it work.
 

Hey not to be a downer but that manifold has some problems which are not really a big deal, however they are no-no's when building any exhaust manifold for turbo or NA cars.

On the middle 2 runners you have angled tubes coming right off the flange. This is called "cheating the radius" and is generally done to save on a few bends during construction to keep costs down or because of not having much space. The problem here is the exhaust needs to hit a straight runner in the manifold first to keep exhaust velocity up then hit a bend about an inch or so outta the head to change its direction. Cheating the radius causes turbulence in those ports. The turbo will spool up properly for a street car etc, however if your looking to make 400+ hp that manifold will actually hurt the spool and performance of your car. Look at the stock exhaust manifold on your car even it has straight runners coming out of it first before changing direction towards the turbo.

We had a manifold like that on one of our old race cars back in the day and we picked up (no b.s.) 20HP when we put a proper manifold on it.

Sorry, im not trying to pick it apart just friendly advice, even in light of all that, that combo should rock on your car good luck.
 
Same manifold that Jesus put 670+ whp on, no n2o. So I would say it works just fine.
 
yeah, it's just a technical thing some people say is a no-no. like I said it will work but again it all depends on just where it's bent how badly what kind of motor etcc.. If your talking about Jesus Padilla with the all motor RX-7 that's a different story alltogether.

Don't get me wrong I'm not bashing it looks good and will make monster HP. Just some motors don't like it. Like I said we picked up 20hp to the wheels with no extra modifications on a 645hp B18 Honda... Here is a pic of the motor and the new manifold we made for it.

Contrary to how this picture looks the bends from the manifold are straight first before bending, the old manifold was bent and pretty badly first right offa the manifold that's likely why it gained so much hp with just that change.

correct me if i'm wrong but i thought he had a sfp manifold:confused:
