thanks for the replies and props!!...I've been outta town, but will answer Q's (and look for more pics)
Manifold - took the one everyone bashes (in budget https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR ) and ~re-flanged it, and ceramic coated it. 3k miles later - a lot faster than the twins. Would I buy it again??? Probably not. Does it work, yeop. Is it equal length, don't know.
IC - modified PFS. I'd say its almost like blowing the boost straight into the elbow, with some cooling. low rpms, no boost, light throttle...it's like you can feel the boost on the throttle plates wanting to come in! IMHRO (in my humble rotary opinion) it almost feels torquey (had a Z guy tell me that, haha). Where the battery was, I will be mounting an electric air pump.
red vacuum hose off IC - it runs to a rear reservoir (I installed, no rear wiper), and it a sprayer. I haven't install my DIY WI kit yet either. small IC has low pressure drop, but I'm worried about temps. Haven't had a problem yet...it's cold outside.
Boost Gauge - it's really just there for initial tuning, it was on the A pillar when I bought the car; hated it, but the owner fawked the pillar. got an new pillar, needed a gauge for the modding. I hope I built a bullet proof ride (has been so far), so I don't intend to watch it everytime I make a pull at WOT. If I overboost I have full confidence in the Haltech, to save my motor. I don't appreciate the foot comment - I'm not retarded and wouldn't think to do something for no point, hell I might put the mirror switch back in once I finish tuning. Each to their own, I wanted my car to look stock inside and out. |
