Nice!

 

im loving this!!

 

Gato Performance R18A1 Intake Manifold

 

Its getting there! I'll be keeping an eye for the finished product. Everything looks beast so far

 

Thanks, been a Very very very long long time!

 

 

Any work done to the throttle body?

 

coming together very, very nice..

 

nope still working on a solution to be able to adapt a 72- 80mm TB to the intake manifold, and actually work with the system.

 

Seeing this build makes me want a single cam!

 

 

Yea. I've got an 80mm DBW from a mercedes laying around. You might be able to adapt something like that

 

 

 

Initial R18A1 Start up

 

I have a Mercedes based 80mm tb that might be adaptable.. appears to have a similar motor setup as yours

 

Thanks but dont think it will be compatible More than likely ill try to get one the Honda ones and just repin the harness.

 

the exhaust manifold in part of the head? why would they do that?

 

OOPS!!! what i ment was the headers and exhaust manifold are one piece?

 

So badass and love the attention to detail!

 

319.90 @ 15 psi
328.59 @ 17 psi
343.68 @ 17 psi

 

nice you got it done man! good job.
that looked like a **** ton of work, and a tiny *** bay to fit it in.
did you do all the wor yourself?
how does the car feel?
Are you cranking up the boost later down the road i have to reread your thread to find out what turbo your running. congrats though in the feeling when your car rolls off the dyno with no crazy problems , feels nice

 

haha I havent had a chance to pick the car up yet been busy working all week, picking it up saturday. No had a shop do the work, but definitely nice. Yes cranking up the boost way high as i didnt reach my goals, but will have to prepare to the car for E85 get dual pumps and brazilian fuel sender as well as a 4port solenoid and then see what the car does. Turbo is a precision 5857jb .63 A/R

 

at what peak rpm? what dyno? Those numbers look pretty decent to me!

 

are these sleeves replaced by ERL sleeves or ERL just did some machine work on the original Sleeves ?? and where did you get the ACL race bearings from ?? at what RPM your turbo spools? till what RPM do you Rev till now ??? very happy to see that setup keep going my friend. God Bless
