turbo manifold question: Is the one that Cody built for a 1.6 or 1.8? If I'm not mistaken the 1.6 and 1.8 exhaust ports are different. Let me know. I'm shooting Cody an email about it now. Thanks.

 

Mine was for a 1.6. No reason he can't do a 1.8 though.

 

So fab weekend is pushed back for the moment. New puppy and wanting to wait on intake manifold for build.
The baseplate was finished for my friends manifold last night... check this thing out...


It has me soooooo excited about making mine for the miata.

 

damn - that IS nice

 

Can you make me one?

 

how much does that manifold run to make?

 

I just want the baseplate, I'll build a manifold around it.

Great progress on the build man, should be a pretty sick car when it's all finished.

 

Friends manifold is finished, he's almost got the car back together too.
Teaser picture of the finished piece for his... mine is next.

My new puppy... and buddies new intake manifold

 

Can you hook up that puppy for WI?

 

Pictures of the finished product for my friends Intake Manifold... mine being made very soon... pretty much identical except round runners with round velocity stack openings cnc'd out.













aweeee

 

F22's are great boost motors. It's suprising you don't see a lot more of them dropped into civic chassis. Great torque, pretty stout bottom ends, cheap and plentiful.

 

His is a f22 with a Dseries trans too. Very uncommon. The work he had to do with the driverside framerail is crazy... lots of custom work to make his setup happen.

We'll be twinish with our intake manifolds and blingbling turbo manifolds...will be a fun season.

 

That manifold is too nice. Any updates on your project?

 

Runners are on my cut 1.6 Mani/flange. They are cut down to length. Waiting on buddy to level them on the cnc so the other buddy can measure them for the cnc drawing of the velocity plate.

Once IM is done... we'll progress with the rest.

 

Ha you upgraded that Honda motor from a hamster in a wheel to a puppy. Its like going to an H22

 

It basically is a non-vtec sohc h22... with bigger ports and a better flowing head. The car rips on 7psi. Can't wait til it goes upto double that....

 

While I didn't get anything physically done on the miata this weekend... I did make some progress.

The components for modding my MS for boost/dual tables/launch control etc... came.... so I can fiddle with that.

I also picked up a nice new K&N filter to use.

Picked up some driving lights to do the turn signal headlights.

Also got in some used 90-93 FM swaybars.

Oh... and picked these up....

 

The ricer within reared his head briefly for this....

 

Protege or 323 valve cover maybe?
