where did you get the manifold from i want one

 

captain brownie??? hahaha i LOVE it... are you going to deals this year?

 

this manifold was veryyyyy hard to come by and i've only seen one other one in the past 10 years that i've been looking for it

RE-Amemiya doesn't produce them anymore, and there only a couple floating around

if you really want to go this route, your best bet is to have a good fabricator build you something from scratch...realistically its only 2 pipes and its really simple to do

i'm a ***** for JDM parts thats why i actually bought it loll

 

yessir

CB is what they call me round here

yup i plan on having the car up and running

hopefully rolling on a very insane set of wheels that my boss at ISS Forged will be cutting for me soon

 

ok then thanks i dont suppose you got the specs on the manifold then???

 

Can you get me some rx7club pricing on a set of wheels?

 

what exactly do you mean by specs?

all i can really tell you is that the runners to each turbo from the engine block must be equal length

and the runners that come off the manifold to each waste gate must be equal length as well

and make sure...MAKE SURE...you don't use anything less than schedule 10, 304 SUS stainless steel
anything less than that, and the manifold won't last under the ridiculous heat of our lovely rotary engines.

if possible, find out if the stainless if coming from Canada or Japan

when building our IS-F exhaust systems, we found out that the stainless coming from Japan has different properties within the metal that actually gives it the tendency to change back to regular steel when welded

the canadian stainless steel is of much better quality

everything else is pretty much just moving stuff around to make it all fit

 

just sent u a PM buddy

 

ever read a book, poem, newspaper article, and felt a rush of inspiration..? just happened to me. looks damn good brother.

 

many thanks man

hearing people like you cheer me on is what keeps me going man

i can't wait to get her all finished and tuned!

 

i like to give credit where credit is due.:]

 

afghan only smells if you let it get to you unless your standing next to the **** pit in kaf lol

 

hahahaha, never been to kaf. but ive seen pictures from friends i have there. ill pass on the pond o' ****.

 

^^lmaoo

 

whats been happenin? weres the updates? lol

 

im waiting on materials now guys

just got the piping for the downpipes
now i'm waiting on some flanges that are getting water jet cut

then fab can continue

will update as soon as i get another day to work on it

 

hey guys

got a little bit of an update...got a really good deal on the new MSD 6AL-2 and it just arrived in the mail!!

can't wait to install this bad boy and try out the 2-step!!

 

2 step! NICE!!!! Cant wait to see this thing on the road, wait better yet, cant wait to see it on the track! your staying with the power FC right? sorry if its been asked already just wondering!

 

thanks simon! i'll be running the Power FC

heres an update from today

El Papa, thats our welders name, has been working on putting together the waste gate positions

also the mock up turbo flanges, the final ones will be from 304 SS

also got some of the 4" piping and the V-band for the exhaust system...check out the difference between the 3" vs. 4"!!

 

Why the MSD and not the TwinPower? if you dont mind me asking...

 

went with the MSD for 2 reasons:

1) the MSD 6AL-2 compared to the HKS, specs wise, sparks harder

2) the MSD 6AL-2 has a built in 2-Step Launch Control system thats super easy to install and use







MORE UPDATES!!

almost done with the downpipes...just gota build the transition from the 2 turbo down pipes into the 4" pipe that goes to the V-Band that hooks up to the rest of the exhaust

wow what a sentence lol

also i held up the waste gates to where they will be mounted to show how the setup will look

 

Why do you need a 2-step..... You said you are road racing ???

2-step is used for Drag racing....

 

Because race car

thewird

 

Interesting, i will keep that in mind and probably go that route after seeing your results

 

the 2step wasn't the actual reason i bought the 6al-2
unlike the original 6al that was a large box and was an analog system
the 6al-2 is a fully digital unit in a more compact design

honestly...and believe me i know it sounds childish and w.e.
the 2-step is just really freaking cool loll
