I posted a few pics of my motor last week, and the WE-Todd server messed up so i lost em, i will repost a couple pics. The SPARK manifold is temporary, i decided i will give it a try regardless of what everyone says, Since this is my first turbo build/experience. I will just give it a try and see how i like it before i Go buy a Full Race setup, wich i already have planned

2.0 ITR motor


t3/t4 .60 trim with .63 AR
i went ahead and cut it. If this thing cracks one time im just goin on and buying a Full Race or Lovefab anyway.

Im gonna break the motor in without boost, i gotta save a few $ for tuning. Oh well, thought i'd share with yall. I know this is just gonna turn into a "that manifold is trash" thread. But it looks like it has a few more welds than others ive seen. Heavy too. Maybe it will hold long enough

 

good stuff,

 

good luck bro. I hope it doesn't crack on you before your reday for it to.

 

yea i know

I was happy with the dumptube position...doesnt look like we will have to do much for the side exit I found a sheet of carbon fiber to make my plate out of.

Im running a similar manifold (Meng Style) with a side exit exhaust, i modified the manifold alittle bit and its been working fine for me

 

Did you put the braces on it? how long have you been running it? what kinda power etc?

I didn't brace it...Figured that would just move the stress elsewhere on the manifold. I have the turbo supported with brackets off the block...there is absolutely NO weight pulling down on the manifold. I also have 2 wastegate outlets in the collector that merge into my wastegate (Solved the creep/spike problem associated with these manifolds) 307whp 212wtq stock b16a

: I can get pics of what i have done if you want, its worked for me so far. it might be hard to understand

 

Sickass car, except for the wheels. nice to see a cool 4 door!

 

those wheels are dope...that is a sick lookin' set-up also

 

what kinda wheels are those?

 

Esses Spedmaster/Team Orange Racing

i have a set of those in my garage... soooo light!!

 

nice setup man, just wondering if you happen to have any numbers out of it yet??? also what kind of fuel setup are you running?

 

Havent even dyno'd it yet, or even put the turbo kit on. I will post #'s as soon as i get it together and dyno'd.

I am currently gonna run 998cc injectors, Walbro 255, Some sort of FPR, and a Hondata s200b. If i see any need to upgrade to stainless lines i will

I plan on seeing 400+ HP at 25PSI

 

That manifold is fine....... just throw some more welds on it........ i know everyone hates it, but if you just re-weld some areas, it will hold up more than long enough for you to get something a little nicer... i.e. lovefab, full-race

 

Yea...for the money im totally fine with it. If it happens it happens, if it doesnt even better

 

that is the best 4 door ever..


you are 4 door sweet guy

i have the same color but mine is stock and smashed...

 

I dont think any 4dr thats Opal green has EVER been without a dent! When i got my car it had a smashed roof (tree limb), pasenger side and trunk. All the ones around town are smashed up too

 

man i love it


yours not mine mine is poop

 

Preciate it

 

Nice turbo set up. i'm not really feelin your wheels though, but as long as you are spinning them through 3rd I guess its all good!

 

Hopefuly they smoke past 3rd

 

the wheels look sooooo hot

 

wheels are hot!

 

u got a pic of the manifold with turbo bolted to the block? i wanna see clearances, i was looking at a similar setup for my car....cant afford the $1300 a/c compatible manifold right now.....as much as i may want it...
