But thank you for this and pushing some of us to think outside the box and giving us some excellent ideas. Amazing work!!!

Looks like you have plenty of room in that engine bay for a massive turbo!

haha yeah I was about to reply with that. But i can still do manifolds, just not downpipes.

How many "kits" did you make?

If you're so worried about the brake fluid overheating, why not wrap the proportioning valve too? You're wasting heat-wrap btw. :)

I have my spreadsheet at work so this is a guess. Maybe 18 mani/downpipe combos and 6 manifold only's since I got my Tig 6 years ago. Of those 18 combos, maybe 10 were vband stuff?

Yes please. Like what clutch and trans ;)

Well the turbo is back-ordered! So will be here soon I hope. The transmission is the 2nd generation turbo (TII) and clutch will be a fidanza 7 1/4" with tilton dual disc.

The car is a road race car though. You can see the adapter plate in the picture.

Hope I am not high-jacking the thread!!!

A tiny spy glass!? Awesome build

Yes! Yes yes yes!!

And no I have no idea.

I'm guessing some part to a rifle.

Its for the Miata...

I'm totally digging your coolant hard lines.

wowwww
baller status achieved

Cool setup, maybe I can do something like this from the rear head port......since my waterneck got scrapped.

Can you tell us if that's a 37* flare?

Not a flare fitting. Just a 3/8-16 threaded hole.
