I just thought that I would post up my build pics since I typically rarely post my pics on mt.net

Engine is finally in. ETD H-beam rods, Weisco +1mm, amazing port and polish, Supertech +1mm valves, Supertech Dual Valve Springs with Titanium retainers, balanced crank, Webcam 505 Grind, Fidanza Cam gears, Fidanza 1.6 Flywheel, ACT 6-puck clutch plate with HD pressure plate.

Here is the Flipside Customs intake manifold that is now welded with a 5.0 TB flange. There will be more build up pics on their website soon. This manifold is not complete. On the underside it is getting all the vacuum nipples I need for my setup. It is also going to get a throttle cable bracket on the underside. It still needs to be blasted and it will get black thermal coating to match the valve cover and boost tubes. Its going to be cleaner than Knight Rider. I cannot wait till everything is finished. Rob has been amazing throughout this whole process. This drastically reduces boost path volume compared to stock. Cant wait to see throttle response when the blower is setup.

BTW, sorry guys, this engine build is for a custom built 1.6l M62 Supercharger build.













Also a sneak peek at the header...

 

always nice to see some fresh fab work here

 

Sick

 

Awsome! Dont know what kind of power it will make, but it will look bad *** doing it. Black valve cover and intake manifold will look great. What kind of intake setup are you planning (if thats not asking too much)?



PS, always forget how big a Miata bay is until you see it with a naked engine in it.

 

Deleted for the whiners who can't take an effin joke despite the fact that %75 of the threads here are worthless.

Why'd you have to go and post that?

 

It was the perfect semi hijack moment to show that after 3 months of practically nothing, I'm finally moving forward.

Apologies to the OP.

Frank

 

Nice Intake also!

 

wow what let down... no interior pics of the plenum showing the runner ends?

every time I see frank's engine bay photo, all I see are two giant holes waiting for turbos

 

Looks great, not sure how I feel about that Fram filter though!!

 

This guy is a hijacker extraordinaire. I thought I was good, this takes the cake. My hats off to you sir.

This thread is now about twin turbo ls1 monster miata.

 

Alright, Flipside Customs Intake Manifold is complete. Here is the final pic with a wrinkle coat. It looks amazing and I hope I will generate the 20 ponies other M62 users have gotten from a IM and TB upgrade. There is some awesome details on this IM, I love the Throttle bracket mounted on the underside of the IM. I also like the vacuum lines underneath.

 

+1

 

******* GORGEOUS!!!!!

How much would a manifold like this cost,if Flipside were to make another one.

 

That manifold makes me happy in pants

 

man that thing is so sweet dude well done


Dr.

 

that thing makes me jealous of my own custom IM.

 

+1. I'd potentially be interested in one also.

 

More then you can afford pal.

Id venture to guess like 800.

 

Are the runners flush and radiused at the plenum OR raised above the plenum surface? Internal pics? Is the coating for looks only? No doubt there's some power in that massive plenum.
