wow that manifold/wastegates wasnt cheap!

also, on the first page... i tried to use a flared pipe like that for a vband connection and it did NOT work at all...............

 

Now with the manifold that is really nice from alien. Does the wastegate dump plumb back into the exhaust?

It's plumbed that way because I'm guessing it runs something like a windshield washer pump or a "boost" pressurized tank.If you plumb it after the intercooler than you need to spend some bucks for high pressure pumps,checkvalves,accumulators,switches,etc.That's my guess anyways.

 

Should be boosting today.



New/Old turbine (P trim/O trim)

Apexi small-as-hell Y section

..and the remedy

 

Intake

NIIICE oil return

3.5" exhaust :-) Almost done...

I thought it was between the turbo and ic hence my original questioning of it.

I didn't realize the injection point was before the TURBO.
Now that makes more sense and the pre-turbo location is supposed to be very effective, if not somewhat controversial. Some will argue that it will wear down the impleller blades but the effectiveness has been shown by several reputable people.

 

If you are not using a fine mist infront of the turbo it will do that quickly.

 

Car is running!! Oh god is this fun...

 

Try not to kill yourself before you pay Elliot mmkay?

 

beautiful bud, ur gunna fly lol

 

Ah so true, you too Greg are going to have to play it safe.

I roasted his new tires rolling into the boost in 3rd gear....

 

i noticed the maf and tmic........ w/ a setup like that....a standalone and a front mount would have been on the top of my list...... even w/ the methenal injection.... a front mount is a pretty cheap mod nowadays w/ ebay........ i hope that gets replaced soon! other than that... looks good!

 

Yea that afm is definatly the main restriction now.

Hes planning on a haltech and fmic next...

 

where in columbus are you?

 

I'm in phoenix right now, be back in Ohio this early next week.

 

so did we spend all out money on a ballin turbo manifold and wastegates and not save any money for an IC?

 

One piece of the puzzel at a time. Intake temps are under control, but they could be better.

 

Damn scanner isn't working at my place...

 

20psi = burnouts on the freeway

 

20psi? holly ****, did you get those indestructable apex seals floating around the internet a while back?

 

20psi on stock top mount? Have fun with that ....

 

He's using RA apex seals. Ofcourse thats with w/a injection.
Gotta love it, 20psi and pump gas....

 

i'd have to say nick's car is wicked fast.....for an s4. gotta love that setup, kinda copying him but with a fmic and haltech. 20 psi here i come...

 

Nope, they both individually dump to atmosphere...sounds REALLy nice too!

I have pics if you would like, couple vids as well.

 

sorry just curious why u are going with a twin wastegate setup on a single turbo?
