Looks so hardcore. You may have already mentioned it, but what style manifold will you be building?

shlammed 09-24-2012 10:49 AM

went through the whole thread again and i didnt notice mention of what kind of racing this will be doing... just the minimum weight.

Looks very swanky and im jealous.

The manifold will be a twin scroll and as equal length as I can make it. The good thing is I have plenty of room between the strut tower and engine. Almost twice as a Miata!

It will be road racing in the conference (ICSCC). It would've been in GT class, but they don't allow a turbo there. So it will be SPM or SPO.

I don't know man, a 3-rotor peripheral port sounds pretty bomber!

Its kind of funny, but in its current state it looks like someone grafted parts from a 2nd gen camaro and a c3 corvette to make a hobby stock car and put a wing on it. Sick ass build, and I feel it'll look less like that with all the glass back in and headlights and paint.

Braineack 10-01-2012 09:55 AM

I like the heater core.

bcrx7 10-01-2012 11:08 AM

Hehe, it will definitely heat, I tell you that! I do have all the exhaust pieces now. So that will get done this week!

Braineack 10-01-2012 11:19 AM

You should go with a B6 instead of a BP, because the 1.6L is more "revvy"

bcrx7 10-01-2012 11:21 AM

If I wanted the revs, I would put a rotary in it! I am happy at 6800-7000 RPM!
EFR 8374 wouldn't spool worth $hit with the B6!

Braineack 10-01-2012 11:27 AM

:) I know this.

I know the feeling :drool:

I opted from the module to wait and see how much data I get from the Haltech

bcrx7 10-02-2012 12:55 PM

I am going to order MegaSquirt module as well. It will be nice to see all the information out of there as well as not needing to order other sensors beside oil temp and pressure which I got with this one!
I was playing around with it on the bench last night and it is pretty cool! Where do you have your GPS antenna mounted?

GeneSplicer 10-02-2012 09:29 PM

My shit is still in foam! Haven't taken time to fondle it at all :rolleyes: I haven't given mounting location much thought to tell the truth.

Finally with the long weekend here I had some time to put the turbo manifold together. Definitely fun work!
