I just nutted. Good stuff.

 

i had to change my boxers after i opened the PM with the pics in it

 

Lookin good!

 

thanks man....

i think im gonna be getting ARTech to make me a full turbo back it went from just manifold to full mani back

 

looks great can't wait to see this in action.

 

I bet it will outflow a log manifold with center mounted turbo. This style doesn't have any runners pointing at each other, no exhaust waves colliding directly against each other.

Doubt it. Two factors that affect spool are the manifolds internal area, and DP/exhaust size. The smaller the area to fill before the turbine, the faster the spool; the bigger the dp/exhaust, the faster it will spool. This is as good as it gets for spool unless he wants to go with a 3.5" DP/exhaust. Whaddayasay WonTon?

 

hmm 3.5" DP! 3.5" full exhaust would be nice too........how much more will that cost? im down

hey if people want to buy this style for their car will you name it the WonTon special or somthing?

 

You gonna dyno ur car? I'm down for a Wonton special with a 3.5" TBE if it puts down good #'s

you better do that 3.5" TBE....

 

oh i want to! yes i will be getting the car put on a dyno

 

just got an update from the guy who is putting my engine together!

he dropped the cylinder head into the vat and it should be clean enough on Monday to prep and assemble. everything should be ready to assemble next sunday. i just need to order a waterpump, timing belt and a gasket kit for the engine if i want it to pretty much be a turn key motor.

im gonna look into getting one of the gasket kits off ebay, anybody have any experience with them?

 

hmm which intercooler...

OH MY GOD! i just busted like 4 nuts....

 

So is that high enough to fit over the power steering pump?

EDIT: I'll just email Abe.

 

if it does that would be cool, so i can run a dummy pulley and install A/C later. if not, its cool cause i didnt plan on running it.

 

Damn that looks good!! Please tell me that the WG is going to stay as a dump...

 

i think we were talking about runnning it back into mainstream but i think it can be made into a dump..

 

That sure does look pretty.

Any updates on this?

 

Don't know how it performs, but that manifold sure does look good, and all of that room for a DP looks damn good. Looks high enough to clear accessories too. I'd like to see more forward positioned manifold like that for easier DIY downpipe design. I hate working in such tight quarters and making a 90+ degree bend right out of the turbo.

 

only update i got is payment to finish all the hot parts will be sent soon and hopefully my engine will get put together this weekend. i am also waiting for some 3.63 gears to come my way . after all that i gotta pick up a clutch, ecu, injectors, another torsen, radiator, IC and pipes. < that is just to get the car running (excluding wants)

that is one of the biggest reasons why i wanted my mani built like this. its very simple and should be very easy to install. not to mention very easy to inspect for problems......

yeah a 90+ degree bend deff does no good for spool!
