Beautiful. Thanks for some ideas on my custom turbo manifold!

Mr. Johnson

Not a problem here to help. Prob won't have another update for a little bit money is a little short. But front mount and charge pipes are next .

What are u cutting your piping with?

Mr. Johnson

I cut the piping with a 045 wheel on a grinder then filled out all the nasty ****. I'm going to buying a band saw soon tho makes it a lot easier to cut.

Ya i cut all of mine with a cutoff wheel also and had problems getting everything straight and where i wanted it to be. Im going to start over for the third attempt.
Lol

Mr. Johnson

The biggest thing for me was getting the Turbo where I wanted it. And to make it so it didn't move at all.

Could you go into any more detail about the LIM modifications for the semi pp?

Go V mount intercooler, it'll help with throttle response... And with a turbo that big, you're going to need all the help with throttle response you can get lol

Mr. Johnson

Can u explain y it helps more over a normal front mount and radiator ? Cuz I am not a fan of how the v mount looks at all. And I will do into more details bout the intake manifold later tonight.when.I get on my computer

shorter tubes so less to pressurize. I think the ambient air going to both the intercooler and the radiator is the bigger plus.

Mr. Johnson

Doing an electric water pump so I'll be able to keep the car at whatever temp I want. And as far as charge pipes I'm
Doing a dual back door setup so my pipes will be short anyways.

wouldnt it been better to use a different intake manifold since they are kind of different lenght?

Mr. Johnson

That manifold is the beat flowing manifold Mazda made. I could of gone aftermarket on that but my machinist had a 1st Gen with the same manifold and 12 injectors. His cars runs a mid 8. So I really just wanted to keep it simple if I can run the number I want with stock parts id like to.

Loving the build of this car! giving me some ideas.

As for the teal on a FD3S, this is mine with a colour called 'breeze' that is on the Ford FG series Falcons. Its quite close to the IS you posted. Should give you a rough idea.



With the elec waterpump setup, are you cutting out the existing waterpump fins or other thought?
