Yes, yes I am lol

 

A fact I will not let you forget right?

At least it's staying in the "family". I bought your old car now you're buying the brain to it. lol

 

So MAF is being deleted right?

Also why is the turboe on fire in one of the pics? Sorry I can't tell what's going on..

 

yes on teh maf and the exhaust housing needed to be heated up in order to weld the steel flange to the to it

 

ahh! i see, we were talking bout that the other night...........

what a triangle of love going on! hehe

i have Erics old intercooler, pipeing, BOV and turbo.....which i assume to be yours once before!

 

indeed. this is just an orgy of miata goodness

 

Awesome fab work.

 

Please tell us you ported the turbine inlet flange at the bottom of that beautiful merge. And made some kind of brace so the whole thing doesn't break off the head when it resonates at xxxx rpm.

 

I like how 1&4 and 2&3 are paired.

 

MMMM yummy manifold.

 

I hate you. Not really but I think it's so awesome to see DIY that looks good, I wish I had the skill and shop to be doing that. Great work man!

 

No brace and yes to the porting. Theres no reason for the brace. Everythings 304 SS including teh flange and all the elbows are Schedual 10. Its extremely strong

 

 

lol itll be fine. If it cracks, it gets fixed. There are 6 other mani's similar to this that Rick has built and none of them have ever cracked.

 

I'd think you would have a lot to benefit by adding a mild steel brace for the little work it takes. The mild steel would allow some movement for expansion/contraction but ease the load on the runners when it comes to the harsh jarring from the cantilevered load. I created a brace using two pieces of small square mild steel tubing on each end with a solid rod in the middle, sleeved by the tubing. Cheap insurance?

 

Hes got some serious skills man:

 

 

That's amazing. Is this your own personal shop, or is that your business?

 

A friend's shop.
