GT42R, AC, 4" downpipe, need I say anymore?
Well, here are the manifold pictures. Ive had three weddings to attend to this weekend so not as much time as I wouldve hoped. Tomorrow Ill start and finish the downpipe.
Wednesday Ill finish the WAIC.
End user will have to change inlet/outlet on the radiator, I can do it here in 30 minutes. Everything else is pretty much retainable except radiator fans, which with the WAIC setup, pusher fans are a breeze.
I think its pretty cool, never seen it done on a FWD Honda before

that's what i want to see. and what kind of braces do you have for the manifold.

Yes, WAIC, as posted in my first post; you can see the core there...
Ill have a heim joint bracing system figured out; similar to this:
Naturally, to the transmission somewhere.
Oil return; thats up to the end user, but there are a few windows that can be used; along with a lot of firesleeve!

Re: (Tinker219)
that is amazing work but i dont see it being worth all the extra work when you can just get a FR top mount. I see its more for the racer than driver.

Does the FR topmount allow for air conditioning, a GT42R sized turbo and a full 4-inch downpipe? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Nobody has ever been able to successfully dyno with one of these turbos due to the fact that any baby within 300 feet will promptly be sucked into its inlet

Well, the WAIC location was just shot to ****; damn RHD conversions. So the car will be here before winter for some sort of WAIC solution.
Here are the downpipe pictures.
Customer's motor is built for 1200hp; I think he will dyno queen it as high as his gonads will let him, then he will turn it down and run on pump gas, 500whp-ish.

People like u kill me, ignorance at its best. Why the expletive bring another manufactor into this thread?
I never see u post anything informational.

Looks good cody.
On the mount, it really needs to hang from the heim to be effective in allowing the manifold to expand, but not support the weight of the turbo.
Good luck with that intercooler. Why not run the charge piping down and do a big vertical flow intercooler with the inlet and outlet on the pass. side, then you can run the ic piping up behind the headlight to the t/b. Air/air is a much better setup for the street anyways.

Re: GT42R, AC, 4" downpipe, need I say anymore? (tony1)
Thanks Tony; the way the heim joints will be designed, expansion and contraction shouldnt be an issue, as they will allow pivoting in the proper directions, and proper weight suppor. I do realize hanging heims are the best, but are also very difficult to properly package(especially when the turbos are 1/2" from the hood).

True, but the pic clearly shows the turbo isn't 1/2" from the hood. The distributor is quite a bit higher than the turbo. There's plenty of room to hang it.
