the whole car is my work from the paint to the fab work. i am still waiting for this nig nog to get done installing my poly bushings in to my control arms.... i hate shops with a passion. so its still standing where it was when i painted it so its still not a rolling chassis. so there is aloooot of work still to say the least to get this thing going. plus i gotta get my megasquirt in and tuned too and i know i will hit my kinks so it may get pushed back past christmas.

<---- having serious miata deprevation (no miata for 3 months now)

I think you should stop working on the car and start manufacturing manifolds. That's sweet. When can I send you mine? Looking good. Looking shiny.

What's the main advantage to a manifold like this over the stock one?

mxv

the "stunna effect"

i am doing it for the larger plenum and smoother straighter runners. there is a few to be gained there... well see on dyno day in a month its mainly for moving the power band up or down. in my case with my smallish turbo i wanted it to move up so i went pretty big on the plenum with the largest runners i can run with a stock head port size.

make me a damn manifold. NOW!!! Honestly though, shoot me a price if you feel like getting frisky.

Very nice job on the intake manifold! I want one too, you are giving me ideas which is bad for my spare time Is that a regular 1.6 throttle body?

mxv

iTrader: (4)

yes it is i had an ls1 lying around but my piping matches this tb just fine so i didnt see the point. if i was going 3 inch piping a bigger throttle body would be in order for sure.

is that engine bolted down? You could do a cooling reroute while everything is out of the way.

mxv

iTrader: (4)

already ahead of you

kinda having to anyways so i can flow it thru my turbo.

You must have completely gutted the thing to paint it. That'll look phenomenal when it's done!

since i had to take everything out ill have to put it all back in... i hope i dont forget to tq somthing

weight it taken off everything i put back in, i am making a big effort to do that. so far i have a pile of stuff in my garage that when i weighed it all out is about 220 pounds. of course i wont have alot of things but it will look like a completed car nothing will "look" stripped
