Wow... Awesome build and work! The engine/turbo setup is almost exactly what I wanted in my car, but time and money disagreed with my plans. lol Keep it up and can't wait to see start-up videos!

Sick as all hell, I still want to see how you handle the compressor -> IC inlet.

It's not going to take long to turn those white stickers above the exhaust several shades darker...

the ic inlet wont be an issue, 45 degree 2"-2.5" coupler, and 2.75"-3" on the other side

Looking good. How soon before you think you'll be able to turn the key?

what are your plans for fuel delivery at the manifold? i noticed that you dont have a rail or injectors installed, and i didnt notice any holes in your runners for the injectors. will you be fabing a rail or do you got something else in mind?

injector ports and fuelrail mounts are on the head. main reason i took on building a manifold is cause i didnt have to deal with fuel injection.

precision 880cc injectors and a m-tuned or similar high flow fuel rail
walbro 255 intank pumop, aeromotive fpr, megasquirt, ect

you know what, i completely forgot about the ports being on the head! i have been looking at alot of rotary **** this weekend. i was looking at runners for 13b's and 4 rotors so thats just been stuck in my head!

Dude, I didn't see this thread before, and then I saw that Morgan made the sex-pipes! He did my tune a couple months ago, and I keep thinking that in a weak moment I will take my log **** to him and make me a bad *** vband setup. He does ******* awesome work, welds are 100% better than top-notch! Props to one of the boys in my hood!

Synapse is like 15 miles from my house, when you are going to get it tuned shoot me a PM so I can come over. I want to see your **** in person and **** up my ears some more in the dyno room.

Jesus Christ. I haven't seen this thread in a while and I gotta say... this car isn't ******* playing around. Great looking build. Those manifolds look bad *** and everything else seems really well done. Congrats and hope it all works out well for you. I honestly thought this car was already done by now. This was the first thread I subscribed when I started posting on here like a year and a half ago.

i thought i would be done by now too

Don't worry brother. My build...eh resto. is well into a year and a half already and I know I still have a few more months to go.

Anyway....top notch man!!! That manifold is just brilliant. I was worried about the position on the downpipe but, it came out beautifully.

I agree that the manifold looks cool, but we'll see if it holds up to real track abuse.

+1 on this. But, fwiw, Morgan, the owner of synapse, used to race open wheel, and was involved in the build of an srt-4 that I think was campaigning in speed world challenge for a while. So, he knows track duty. If you ask them to build it for this, they will do it and do it well.

I am not a shill, he just did my tune and he walked me all through his shop. I've seen great welding in industry, and this stuff was top-notch. If you guys keep prodding and throw down the gauntlet, or something, I might have to scrap my plans for my 1.6 build reusing the FM log and have Morgan build me up a sweet v-band shorty for a 1.8. I know that's what I'll end up with, anyway, I'm just *****.
