Man, I'd really like to see some pics of that manifold. Got any to share? PM me if need be.
Thanks.

I don't recommend building a manifold/header like mine. I wouldn't do it like that again. 1 thick flange on the head, and thin short runners out of 321 stainless is the way to go. That's how I'm going to do it on my twin turbo NSX yeah I know I live in dreamland
Yeah, I saw one of your previous posts about the trouble you had. Still, I'd like to see some pics, as I am pretty sure that I can pull it off with the proper bracing and materials. Send me some pics if you can so I can get an idea of how it would look. The more angles the better.
Thanks.

The supplemental injector in the charge air pipe is NOT for fuel, by the way.
EVERYTHING in these pics was fabricated by me. I am still waiting on an ecm setup from Sean, then I will start driving and tuning the car. Also, I built this without having a steady job (credit cards) and I'm only 22, ha ha! And oh yeah, the battery container in this picture looks kinda ghetto, but trust me, it is 100% legit now, and that cerwin vega in the box I built out of mdf and epoxy (computer designed dimensions and port length/diameter) hits fucking hard, with rattleage minimized by structurally reinforcing the sheetmetal that holds the taillights
Any questions?
cant see anything man
weird, the pics worked when I hit preview post, but then not when I clicked on the actual thread, but then I clicked the thread again and they worked..WTF?

upload them in cardomain.com because we all know that Image station sucks!
Oh yeah, I cant see shit either lol

Nice looks good.Are you getting Seans ECM?
That's a pretty clean setup. Looks like fun
Right click, properties, copy address, paste in address bar, enter. Should bring up pics.
Looking good (especially the battery cooler). Thanks for the extra pics.
1. What size pipe did you use for your exhaust manifold runners/collectors?
2. Ever think about puting your other cooling fan back?
3. What kind of turbo is that, and being mounted that low, any problems with oil return?
4. I'd love to know how you built that manifold. How did you mock it up before welding?
Very nice work, my man. I know you just gotta be ready to run that beast, eh? By the way, don't forget to cap the dizzy!!

Can't you just send us a link to your imagestation place?
- llia
P.S. man you can use my links and I'll edit this post, or you can delete yourpics
Imagestation sucks a fat ass dick, I guess. Right now I'm on a different computer and I can't view my pics at all either, maybe I'll try cardomain or something.
P.S. Robs89lxi, dude, ease up off my manifold design! You don't want that, TRUST me
If you have a mig welder and a plasma cutter, and want to attempt this, I'll give you a few pointers. Thick flange, short 321 stainless primaries. Start with the longest runner first. Figure out how you want all the tubes to go, then fabricate the collector. Then weld the collector onto the longest tube, and weld the other tubes into place. The order in which you do this depends on the design, because you need access to weld around all of the tubes. Be aware of warpage, too. The inside of the collector also should look like a cone with 4 curved sides, not a flat piece with 4 holes in it.
looks good.

oh man!
that look's massive, how much psi are ya expecting?

I'm sorry but besides Justin's Turbo hatch, this is the cleanest 3gee turbo that I've seen.
Maurice
damn that is nice
.
so thats what my hatch will look like when its boosted. sweet!!
thats a damn nice looking setup. Who did your turbo manifold? Cant wait for that baby to get up and running. Keep up the good work!
Nothin' 2 Old Racing
Looks good! Now lets hear the specs! What turbo is that? No intercooler?
That's right, no intercooler, at least for now. See the pic of that injector in my charge pipe? That will inject h2o/alcohol, with pulse width based on a map of rpm vs. manifold press. It should be able to cool the charge air well enough, we'll see. It's an experimental thing. My eventual goal with this turbo is 340whp, we'll see how long it takes me to get that, whatever... My turbo is the mistubishi big 16g, before I was running 5-8psi, now I'll be running maybe 10-13 after I get a better clutch and get a decent tune with it.

is'nt it amazing that a a20 series can withstand a turbo but a mitsu can't.
mad prop's though!
****** 1994 nissan maxima SE ******
wow nice setup. make me one
1) does that turbo manifold have equal-length runners? (hopefully).
2) looks like the front part of the hood can get hot pretty quick wouldn't it? you might need some heat shielding under the front of the hood or your paint with burn-fade in no time (or you or anyone touching the hood could burn themselves). you could also heat-wrap the manifold itself.
3) also, looks like changing the plugs would be a bitch to do. how are you gonna slide in a socket wrench in there to remove the plugs? and wouldn't the spark plug wires touch the hot manifold and melt?
4) what have you done for the engine? is it all internally stock?
anyways, if everything works well, big props to ya and hopefully you can give us the final numbers.
Mitsu's can't handle turbos? Better not tell John Sheppard that, he'd be pissed that his 8.6 @ 165 street legal DSM can't handle the boost!Originally Posted by accordlxi2.0
The GSX was killed, I need something new...
he he he looks sweet, hows the civic rad holding up?
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
