Hi,
Nice work, is this turbo s400sx3 67mm or bigger?

 

Not sure on the manifold yet I'll be building it tho. Any suggestions would be great and I wanna make 600 to 650 on 93 Oct pump gas.

 

67mm

 

i need more of this engine bay in my life

 

X2 whats going on in here?

 

I see that car all the time. He must live in West Palm Beach, FL.

 

Sry guys I have a big update just need to upload the pics will prob do it tonight

 

started making a template on wat size front mount im going to be running. then found out im going to need to cut some stuff up





then i took the stock braket for the P.S. and relocated my alt. note still needs a lot of work this is just something i threw together







trying to get the turbo were i wanna run it.





then started making the manifold.







on the car



one runner complete

 

\nother veiw of it on the car



floating turbo lol



didnt get any pics of building the second runner but here is the manifold complete



cutting some fish mouths for the waste gates



first gate on the manifold



both gates in there new homes



piping out the down pipe not a lot of pics for this either



down pipe done



still not done the dump tubes but this is all i got done so far



and with the DP on





let me know wat you guys think as always your opinions are wanted

 

awesome; just awesome! those screamer pipes are going to sound unreal!

 

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

 

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 .

 

this is awesome. makes me want to try making a manifold!!

 

What are u cutting your piping with?

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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?

 

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?
