What's the timing map look like?

So here's a a picture of the map and of the exhaust. I either got the spark table from somewhere on here or used one on here as a reference, can't remember. The cast flange was hard to weld on, let's see what you guys think.

why are you running such low timing in the non-boost cells?
and that dp design is pretty bad for flow

as for your bad quality question: manifold is one of the most important things in a build after ecu and injectors. that's why

nitrodann 04-21-2016 07:35 PM

You;re going to get tonnes of failures. Basically its going to fall off.

hi_im_sean 04-21-2016 07:51 PM

You cheated the fuck out of that radius.

18psi 04-21-2016 07:52 PM

the real question now, which will fail first? hehe

hi_im_sean 04-21-2016 07:54 PM

Im taking $5 bets. PM me for paypal.

Options:
1. OP
2. manifold
3. hardware
4. rod bearings

the_enginear 04-21-2016 08:06 PM

Yeah I had a hard time with that downpipe without trimming other stuff. Oh well. Did what I could. The tune is just something I thought would be pretty safe for now

hi_im_sean 04-21-2016 08:08 PM

What radius was it? It looks like you have more room, and you can trim the shelf back a bit before it opens up to the hollow cavity, I think.

Edit- nm, it doesn't really matter, you'll have a new mani soon.

the_enginear 04-21-2016 08:13 PM

I agree with you I should have trimmed the shelf. Ran out of time and figured it would have to do. Obviously it's not the best for flow but I think it'll do fine :)

you can also take a good size hammer and get rid of a lot of the shelf lolol.

1. Already failed though...

Okay well, I think I'm going to stop posting here as I haven't gained any useful knowledge from this thread and anything I need to know is elsewhere on the forum, but I will still eventually update this when something breaks or when I have dyno sheets :drama:

People told you heaps of stuff that you clearly didnt know.

as well as boosted.

pdexta 04-22-2016 09:23 AM

The exhaust looks better than I could have done and I can certainly respect the DIY effort that went into it. Looks like a pretty solid first attempt to me. I'm interested to see how it holds up.

In for -50 prop cats.

I'm not sure what to tell you. I couldn't disagree more. The only thing I have learned is that buying a cxracing manifold is a death wish on this forum, and that people don't appreciate things that don't have a clean appearance no matter how mechanically sound they are. I will still update it periodically for anyone who is actually interested in failures etc.

hi_im_sean 04-22-2016 10:20 AM

"im a troll, this all on purpose, I love how furious you guys are, im gay too......"

".... why wont anyone feed me?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?"

if you could read between the lines, you've learned your spark map is ridiculously retarded.

the_enginear 04-22-2016 11:48 AM

If you could read at all...
