Here are a few pics...



The car has already dynoed 447@14psi.



All the fabrication was done in house at my shop.

OH sweet as HELL!!! I cant wait to see your car in person and get that baby on dyno/track

Hassan 02-22-2004 09:11 PM

You just want me to get you your manifold quickly https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

FikseRxSeven 02-22-2004 09:11 PM

wow!!!! what kinda power are you putting down to the ground

Hassan 02-22-2004 09:12 PM

Using the HKS cast manifold it was 447@14psi. Could not boost more due to an intake manifold leak. Hoping to dyno again soon with around 22-23 psi.

yeah I cant wait to get my new manifold from ya. you guys do outstanding fab work.

qwester007 02-22-2004 09:52 PM

Nice fab work- I've never seen a single with that setup-

Dumbrotorkid 02-22-2004 10:15 PM

I think i need to change my pants https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

Haha



Thanks...

I wonder how that 90deg bend in the downpipe will work out for you. Looks sweet though; always nice to see different ideas.

Hassan 02-23-2004 07:12 AM

Yeah I am curious to see too.

93 R1 02-23-2004 07:57 AM

Any reasoning behind putting the turbo in front of the motor?

Hassan 02-23-2004 08:15 AM

yup. I wanted long runners and a completly divided manifold. The runners are equal length within and 1/8". This was just a bit easier to do and I wanted to try something new.

4RotorRocket 02-23-2004 11:09 AM

Looks great im interested in a manifold



You have a PM on the other forum

Hassan 02-23-2004 11:13 AM

I'll check it

j9fd3s 02-23-2004 01:36 PM

is the dp as close to that brake line as it looks? that might be bad, otherwise its neat!

Hassan 02-23-2004 02:36 PM

No not that close

1Revvin7 02-23-2004 03:32 PM

Do you have solid engine mounts? I wonder if your dp will smack the passenger strut tower wall when it moves.

Hassan 02-23-2004 04:34 PM

Yes i use solid metal mounts.

j9fd3s 02-23-2004 04:42 PM

well thats a neat way to package it, it leaves you tons of room for an air filter, more room for the manifold/wg piping, etc. i dont really see any minuses to putting the turbo there either https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



i hope it works!

Hassan 02-23-2004 05:52 PM

Yeah. I think so it will work.

Can't use stock position for radiator, and he had to cut part of the frame..

setzep 02-23-2004 06:23 PM

SOB, do you have a link to a page where each pic is less than 1.4meg per picture? Maybe 100k? It's taking me all day to take a peak at your manifold! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

setzep 02-23-2004 06:29 PM

The filter before your fuel pump, is it a 100 micron mesh filter or a 10 micron filter? I hope it's the 100micron.

setzep 02-23-2004 06:36 PM

I found smaller pic's of your manifold.

Looks like you went the same route I did with mine, ss 304l butt weld fittings. Get them from mcmaster carr? Is that 2"sch 10 pipe? Looks good!



Oh yeah, that's a HUGE freakin intercooler! No sleeper there! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



ok... I'm done for now.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Not an issue with me.

Hassan 02-23-2004 09:13 PM

I wanted good quality pictures. That is why I did not re-size.



I am running twin filters 10 and 100

1Revvin7 02-23-2004 09:55 PM

Why did you choose to run the fuel cell?

Hassan 02-23-2004 11:07 PM

Simple....



I wanted to get rid of my 15 year old dirty tank. Save some weight and wanted to run a large inline pump using SS braided lines.

I would do the fuel cell if I didn't have to enclose the bastard at the drag strip.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Hassan 02-24-2004 08:50 AM

You don't have to enclose it. Just need something between you and the tank.



My tank is mounted using the factory mounting points, we made brakets to fit it. The only cutting done to the car was a smalle hole for filling the gas...

whiplash 03-02-2004 12:49 PM

thats pretty cool..



Has anyone ever made a manifold so the inlet faces straight up (north), then the exhaust side would face south????....It would also make the IC tube from the turbo to the IC a cool straight shot..... just a thought

I swear I read in the nrha rule book that if the fuel cell has to be enclosed even if its under the car? I didn't understand that and still don't, but if thats not the case, my stock gas tank is already out https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Can't do it because oiling is gravity fed inside the center cartridge.

the only negative would be more weight slightly farther forward, right?

djgiantrobot 03-06-2004 01:02 PM

only issue i see is that tracks don't like it when you mount your FPR on the firewall, looks awesome though

87GTR 03-07-2004 12:49 PM

really whats wront with it on the firewall?
