the act of boosting

is that one of those cheap obx/equal length mani's? I thought those crack. Also what size is that turbo?

 

very nice!
i dont about that mani though it will probably crack!
nice to see im not the only one with carpet in my garage

 

Looks like a sparkracing setup to me (mani and intercooler)

 

looks good so far good luck with it

 

Yeah its the spark racing set up..That carpet comes in handy.

 

looking good.....what for the manifold cracking.....

 

very nice, i can see the "quality" in the parts that are used in your set up. a the charge pipes aluminum or ss? what brand/size?

 

just wondering, did you brace the manifold?

 

the pipes are 2.5 inch steel.And im going to brace the mani.

 

Be sure to clock and brace that turbo.

other than that- congrats. Hope you have a happy boosting experience.

 

Im new at this boost thing.please excuse my ignorance.But what do I do to clock the Turbo?Im trying to figure out how to brace at the present time.Is clocking it mean to rotate it to a certain position?

 

Yes, you will want to loosen some of the bolts on the housings to make sure the center part of the turbo (for the oil) is ideally on a vertical axis. Then make sure your compressor is pointed where you want it for your I/C piping. Tighten the bolts and you're set.

 

Werd!

 

very nice...

are you gonna run around without a front bumper support?? just curious. im still deciding whether to keep mine or not.

 

Looks very nice. Waiting to see how the wastegate looks!

 

High roller turbo stylee!

No I would have to cut it to get it back on.To much hassle.Im going to make supports for the bumper out of alluminum strips so it dosnt sag underneath the headlamps.

 

<U></U> I will have it mounted tonight I will take some pics and post tomarow.Im divorcing it out the left side of the front bumper should look hot.

Nice car and kudos on being different with that manifold. Theres been alot of crying about it here on why it "sucks" but I'd imagine you'll have good luck with it if properly braced.

 

I have had no problems and mine is tuned the other way...With a brace of course....

Nice can BTW

 

How did you brace yours?

 

I know they look the same,but are the spark racing and the obx the same?

 

looks like a starion IC to me with relocated end tanks/pipes

 

its way bigger than a starion.My boy has that one on his car.
