i completely agree with you man...i really dont lost that manifold...thats why im considering slicing the bottom of the UIM off right at the seam, and building a manifold box from the underside of the UIM down

 

since i just wrote that, i've really be thinking about this alot

basically building a plenum into the bottom of the UIM...that way i can keep it looking the same with the nice FD UIM...and the plenum will gain me the flow im looking for

what do you guys think???

 

let me get this straight you want the stock UIM going into a plenum, instead of a plenum going into the LIM? or am i completely off cause im quite confused VJ lmao

 

i was thinking something like this

the first pic is of a stock UIM

then in the second one, i added in the blue surround where the "plenum" would be made
the green line is the seam where i would cut to bring the plenum area down

let me know what you guys think

 

interesting! and the pic/drawing is a lot better than the old one LOL

 

I think i that that sounds like a pretty good idea, but would you plan on changing the shape of the pipes going into the LIM or just keeping them the same?

nm i just looked at the pic and looks like there wouldnt be any reason to change it.

 

yup gona keep them the same...and basically just extend the bottom of the UIM downwards as much as possible

waiting on flanges to get here for the turbos!!! then the build begins!!

 

im excited lol.

 

nice build man. i cant wait to see your new set up once its all finished

 

i seee no progress!!! youre falling behind!

PLANK!

Like the group shot, especially b/c 2 of my cars are in the shot (not my personal cars) but ones I own lol.

 

whats your estimated ETA?

 

Which Bride seats and rails are those? Any fitment issues?

Looking great as always.

 

man.. i hope that u dont have everyting lol...that would put u way ahead of me ;_;

 

im thinking like 3 weeks or so after the car goes in

thats if theres no snags or anything...then i gota work up some money to get it dyno tuned -__-

 

thanks alot!!

They're Bride Vios III Low Max Bucket seats

and they're the matching Bride Low Max Rails...i got the rails used from japan

 

dont worry man...i still have to work up the cash to get the car tuned once the build is done lol

 

Nice, any fitment/rubbing issues? Did you have to modify the brackets at all?

 

nope the rails are FD specific

the seats do sit against the door panel...nothing bad though

awesome seats...completely change the feel of the car

 

lol i hear ya. glad my tune is included in my bill. when i was rollin single turbo i had no tune running 5PSI...fml lol. i cant wait for this. did ur figure out an intake setup?

 

i gota take a business trip next week, so it looks like i have to put the build on hold for another week

 

Booooooooo im ready for a real update!!!

 

you and me both brotha! -__-
