I'd personally use Injector Dynamics fuel injectors. The ones you are using are 25 year old technology and a solid generation behind the stock RX-8 injectors. ID's injectors are very different. They are a generation more advanced than the RX-8 injectors and are as modern as injectors get. They are very linear and fast. I'd check them out. Injector Dynamics is Paul Yaw's company.

 

I'm aware of the ID injectors. I think we may have found another set that works just as good if not better. We're testing them in our shop Evo for a company now. I'm using stock modified injectors now...

On another note.... Car left my shop to go to another shop for fabrication today. Took pics, but forgot my camera cord at work.

 

Those are the best

 

Any updates?

 

of course

Sneak peak of the manifold construction....




Also ordered intercooler piping/couplers/tbolt clamps


Can anyone give me insite on the Cobb Torque limiter tables. I've noticed they only go up to 2.0. Does the car run in limp mode if they are zero'ed out?

 

nice...any more angles of that manifold?

 

No. I'll take more when it's done. It's a 3-1 manifold. There is another short runner under those other two in the picture. They all merge together in one spot approx. where the shortest pipe ends.

 

on the manifold design check your engine mount bracket
my mistake doing the header outside of the car and only to find it was 100% contact on my shared pipe.
looks sexy though
i wish i did mine out of stainless
i only had access to steel -shrug- im sure ill pull it out and either ceramic or redo the design anyways since i fudge the o2 bung and my devider

 

Great to see you're not going with a basic log manifold...pic looks good. What diameter tubing are you using on the runners, and then for the collector?

 

2" runners going to 2 1/2" uppipe.

It fits very well behind the motor mount bracket. Don't worry

 

Couple more.... I'll be finishing it tomorrow along with the downpipe, atleast that's the plan. Waiting for the electrician to come and wire in an outlet for my tig welder this afternoon.

 

WOW..production piece in the future?

 

Wow that manifold is awesome....... ^ what he said lol

 

Yes.

I had another fabricator do this one for me since I'm just now getting my tig welder set up at the shop. I'll finish the uppipe and downpipe myself(maybe tomorrow), as well as make jigs for a few different manifolds in the near future.

We're still out a while on that though. Running out of space quick, so we'll likely relocate to a larger facility soon for projects like this.

 

wow....

Yeah, they seem to out perform all others and tunning is noticeably easier with a more accurate flow.

Looks like your build is coming nicely! Looks like 09factor has a twin when it comes to turbo manifolds...

 

Gettin there.... here's some of the manifold/downpipe construction









things to do:
Wrap manifold/downpipe/final install
fab wastegate dump tube
finish intercooler piping
weld on bov bung
weld on nipples to intake
extend maf wiring
modify radiator hoses
tie up loose end with battery relocation

 

wow, setup is coming out really nice, glad theres some good detailed pictures to show! keep em coming..btw what size is that downpipe? 3"

 

Looks like a really nice setup. Continue with the updates please!

 

wow... late night at the shop.

almost completely done.

pictures when i get home if i don't pass out.

 

 

Steel cold-side pipes make the baby Jesus cry.

 

^ With that being said I want to sex your d pipe.......can i say that here?

 

I got dibs on sexing the manifold then!

 

Stayed at the shop late again. Got everything installed, filled it with fluids, and noticed an oil leak. I called it quits for tonight, so I'll wrap it up and fire it up tomorrow after I fab up my wastegate dump tube, and etend my maf wiring a bit. Hopefully the base map is good enough to get it up and running on it's own power.
