Please get a real manifold....

That's ******* gross dude....

Sell the alarm. If people want to steal your ****, that's not going to stop them......

 

lol right its brand new lol my girl friend got it for me lol

 

does anybody have a turbo manifold I could use let me know

 

ok guys need some coments about the project guys yey or ney what do you guys think

 

i want to see the IC after u cleaned it up

 

will post pics asa I get them

 

Spend the dough and get a real manifold. It'll more than pay off in the end.

Like said above, where do you plan on putting the gate if your going to use the stock manifold? Please don't be one of those crazy people that drills a hole in the hotside of the turbo for it...

I'd say sell the GT42, get a GT35 or T04R so you can have the funds to finish the project right.

What are you planning on running for ignition? Stock?

 

you need to take this beast to the tower shops car meet when you get a chance!

 

Huh? The viper 5900 is discontinued and has been for a while now. It got replaced by the 5901.

I agree, ditch that manifold. It looks like it got welded up by a chimpanzee.

I will say though, good luck, the other parts you have look sweet.

I Personally know the guy selling this manifold, Rob, as well as who built it. I know he would deal outside of ebay as well. Send him a message.

 

i still dont think your going to kill any 2jz's unless they run like a 3 legged dog

 

im runing a microtech LT12s and MSDs

 

if you're on a budget, get a used FD long runner manifold off the classifieds here. A lot of them do fit (the FD HKS cast does not fit). I have a Feed turbo manifold for an FD on my car. Since it sets the turbo pretty far forward, LIM clearance isn't a problem.

 

Good luck with the build man, but you do need a better mani & delete the internal gate.

 

I think your avitar Gundam is gross LOL JK

I prefer the RX-79[G] myself equipt with the 80mm cannon

 

got the new manifold custom from madd hadder muffler will have pics posted soon every thing is put together and running next to get it tuned pic will me posted soon

 

There's a Madd Hatter in south fl too?

 

yea its in pompano beach fl right on dixie highway

but the car is looking sweet now to get some fresh paint and some nice interor work done sweet

 

bump for update of pics

 

Interesting build, people have had some very useful suggestions.

I'd suggest finding a different way to mount your radiator fans. Won't take long for that shiny aluminum radiator to start losing fins with those mounted like that.

 

What size is the turbine?

Everything else seems decent - not the best - but not the worst either. Best of luck to ya!

 

If you've already got the E-fans and are ditching the stock fan, and have the engine out... why not just go V-mount? That way you don't have a massive pressure drop across both the IC and the radiator, plus the mounting on the radiator looks like it'll be bouncing around a bit once you get going, rubbing on the IC and asking to fail.

 

The fan mounting does need help. And its hard to tell, but it doesn't look like you took the advice about that manifold where is the wastegate btw?.... Looks like its coming together, just not quite ideally.

 

I meant the outside, cooling air flow from the front bumper. The way it is now, it has to flow through both heat exchangers packed right against one another instead of through only one in a good, ducted V-mount configuration (which would have higher flow than this, so greater overall cooling capacity too). All the hardware besides a couple hoses and the mounting is already there.

 

Meh, You can see the the Internal Gate on the first sheet of the thread.

Good luck man, I like to see different ways of thinking, I can't say BOoo or Yeeaa, until we see some vids and this thing is running...

As long as it works, has power, and stays in one peice, Rock it!! Just because it's not a $10,000 setup doesn't mean it can't be fast, and reliable (relatively speaking) and beat a 2jz powered car...
