basicly i have this header laying around right now for my tc



and i have this idea that zpi did with the stock manifold



i know its not the best looking but i can weld better lol
(by the way with methonal they were making 400ftlbs of tourqe with methonal and ran 12.5's)


(a pic of the return line)

i was thinking if i do this with the megan header i have i can posibly get a 16g to fit with out any oil return issues but i also have seen someghetto *** top mounts like this one




now besides causing some more lag on the turbo would doing some thing like this give me any actual benifits??

please let me know if im just a dumb a$$

 

wow, could zpi cheat cut that primary for the wastegate anymore? thats crap

 

12.5's with 400 ft-lbs?!?! it should be much faster...

 

you would think but it wasnt tuned so the methonal caused it to run rich once it got dumped in ill post the dyon graph for you guys


and yeah the wastegate setup looks crapy but hey im just instrested in the half *** manifold lol

 

not the kind of tourqe curv the tc usealy has lol it was just running way to rich

 

also that was before there was a piggy back to tune the vvti

 

im so ******* tired of this **** from them

i am not going to get into it. i work for a shop here and i have no room to talk. and it me V. them and you are a THEM so i am not going to try and waste my time jus cuz its a lose-lose situation for me, but i wish you best of luck on whatever decision you make on the scion!

 

wow you sound so pissed i cant figure out what your saying but i have heared alot of mixed reviews and thats the main reason i havent sent any of my buisness there way

they suck lol


and i see alot of other post's on here from non honda owners so i figgured i can get some help here from the smart ppl on here

 

i would go ahead and use the stock manifold and modify that , not to sure if the cheap header runners will suport the weight of the turbo. got to put that into the equation too!

 

didnt think of that ill probly pick up another stock on then becouse our stock ones have a cat that zpi cut off were the collector comes in to one and according the locals in IL i cant modify that if i want to pass emision tests so ill need a stock one for testing

 

i wouldn't worry about the cat. put one on once every 2 years for the test then your good to go. besides cats KILL turbos

i would say you could go with the cheap header if you support the turbo well with good braces. but it might crack from the backed up heat the turbo generates.

 

if i go and weld new beads over the old ones one the flange and collector do you think it would hold better??


and maybe brace the flange for the turbo to the flange on the head??
