...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

What started out as a planned "simple" t28 GT2871 setup with 350whp in mind turned into a custom setup based on a GT30 with about 400-450whp in mind. The result of many conversations with Tony from T1 Race Development.... thanks Tony (I think :P )!

Anyway, here's the car as it sat last year...

Some tubing for the mani...

After some frustration and wasting some expensive tubing my friend Fathouse recommended using PVC to practice. $.50/ft vs. $16/ft.... Thanks house!

20 degree cut on the left, 15 degree on the right...

15 degree, what I ended up using...

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Well after some frustration and serious doubt I finally got the first runner done. I think my collector is a little long but looks like I'm going to be able to make it work.

The rest of the runners should go smoothly but I suspect 'pain in the asses' part 1 and 2 will be wastegate placement and the downpipe build. Stay tuned...

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Tell me you're keeping those wheels on it, it looks sick!!! :)

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Nope they're long gone... :(

Thanks though man!

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Nice build, looking foward to finished product :thumbup:

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

WOW
GREAT
do it yourself mani

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

I agree with u in the wastegate placement. Try not to have it 90 from the collector if possible. Looking great so far keep us updated

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Thanks guys!



Hit me up this weekend, should have something for that camera this time :)

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Good stuff!! I always wanted to see a 30R on an s2000, everybody jumps the gun and steps up to a 35r but im curious to see how a 30r will perform :) Do you have the 2.0 or 2.2 in there?

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Word up.

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Got the #2 runner fitted up tonight. Pulled the #3 runner off to weld it up. Added some braces since I couldn't really jig it with the Vband. Also got the elbow off of the collector for the #1 runner, going to put one on the collector for the #4 runner as well before I put the #3 back on. Going to build the remainder once I get the 2 centers done, it's hard enough just keeping those 2 lined up lol!

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

lookin good man, i love my 30R. Perfect turbo for the s2000. I have full boost ( 30R, .82 hot ) by 4400rpm or so and it pulls strong all the way up.

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Nice build. the GT30 was a good choice.

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

looks good man! cant wait to finish my S also!

and theres nothing like saying "i built all the stuff myself" when its finished and people ask who did the work....

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

very nice work on the manifold, that car is going to be fun.

Re: ...GT30 / S2000 build...
 

Thanks guys! :thumbup:



Got a little farther yesterday, almost finished up welding up the two center runners until the threads in my torch head galled up and stripped out. Got to get a tap monday :(



Bolted to a 5/8" piece of aluminum for a heat sink...

Inlinepro 600hp i/c courtesy of my friend Carey (bosstedh22a). Yes I know it's upside down, fits higher that way and I'm not going to notch the frame rails for it!
