Artech is good at doing stuff

Another happy customer here and I haven't even received my parts yet! Just looking at the first 2 pictures of my manifold gets me all giggity! It still needs the flange for my Tial EWG welded on, but it's looking amazing already! He is also making me a stainless downpipe with wastegate routed into exhaust, and a full 3" stainless exhaust! Ordered turbo studs, and stainless water/oil lines from him while I'm at it :party:

That's exciting!
I'm also anticipating a manifold and downpipe, still need to pay for an exhaust, oil feed/return and coolant lines. |

Abe should really have more of these threads. He pumped mine out in a few days, I don't see why he doesn't have one of these threads every few days, beautiful stuff.
Abe, if you're reading this, GET BACK TO WORK! |

Abe, if you're reading this, GET BACK TO WORK! I just really appreciate the attention to detail that he gives every piece he does, so I want to make sure I give credit where it's due. A thread showing pics of his beautiful artwork is the least I come up with haha |

Copy and pasted from my build thread, but figured I would update with the final pictures!
Artech is THE MAN! Took forever to wait for all this stuff, but I wouldn't have waited this long for any other work but his. Everything is shipping tomorrow! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373202683 http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...ps5ade38ec.jpg Attachment 185310 |
It's hard for me to describe how jealous I am.

With all the photos of his shitty fab car Abe really needs to clean the frame rails and put some Artech stickers on them. I'm always thinking "why would anyone put such nice parts on a shitty miata" when I see his fab work.
|
Ridiculous shit right hurr. Awesome!
|
Ill be putting his nice parts on my shitty miata-because engineer.
Id rather spend good money on the go fast parts then worry about paint or clean frame rails. just sayin cant wait til I get my exhaust. waiting sucks but seeing those pics reminds me its worth the wait. |
Hahaha absolutely right there with ya. My car might not be pristine on the outside but I decided the one thing I didn't want to do was put shitty parts on my car when it came to the turbo side of things. I did go with a churbo but I consider that temporary... I'll have a Garrett in due time!

Do not trust this clap. I lost 2 before I got smart and got 2 lock nuts and safety wired it.

The thumb screws are what he uses in mock up I thought, I got a lock nut from a nissan (I think), and put a washer so it wouldn't get mauled when I tightened it.
Looks kind of like this except tiny little slots, I'm guessing they spring in on the threads? I dunno, it works. They're on my turbo too. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1373742079 |
Is that a lock nut with a non round hole (oval) so it stays tight or is it a castellated nut like for axles designed to have a pin through the cutouts and a hole in the bolt to prevent rotation?
|
It's hard to describe, it's a OEM nut off a SR20 nissan AFAIK. Looks like a standard nut with little slots cut in the top, Abe says they're good enough for the Nissan turbo setup, so he has me trying them out. So far so good, but only a couple track days on them. And I have one on my vband flange.
|
He shipped his older exhaust systems with what jeff_man showed ... at least mine came that way.
Can't say I've had any issues since 2 years later it's still not on the car. Soon ... very soon ... and I guess I'll be using locking nuts. -Zach |
