I do have one from SLS, I was using it for building my manifold. But I did draw it already. The engine is in a RX-7, so the typical manifold off the shelf does not work as well. Plus I am using a twin-scroll!
But thank you for this and pushing some of us to think outside the box and giving us some excellent ideas. Amazing work!!!

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!!!

Long time, no update.
Still making progress, slowly but surely. Spring is here and I need to get this thing done!
Finished the wastegate dump tube:
Custom lower coolant reroute and blockoff plate:
Coolant distribution manifold:
New Rims!
And lets see if anyone can guess what this might be for...

Finished up the coolant lines:
Intercooler piping is done as well, just needs some polishing...
And started working on my cold air box. I have a bunch of 1mm titanium sheet that i scored at work, so I decided to use it for the airbox. This was my first time working with Ti and al I can say is "what a pain in the ***".
