nice manifold, will that be a tight fit for the return downpipe ?

 

Always nice to see autos kickin' ***

 

Nope. Here is how its going to fit with the 3.5" DP( obviously it won't rest on the manifold). Even enough room to make a lower intake manifold heat shield. I did remove the OMP however.

 

It's all about pre-mix now.

 

thats a nice manifold, hmm no omp O_O though ive seen that done many times, i dont think i could remove it and depend on premix only.

going full custom exhaust? being that even the turbo xs is only 3".

 

I love CLEAN custom builds!

 

Pics in posts 2 and 3 updated.

 

very sick. What you doing about heat? I know with mine on the bottom the engine bay is hella hot with just the Greddy. I couldn't imagine it just chilling in the engine bay.

 

Well there won't be a cast ductile iron heat sink!
I have seen mine glow red on the dyno. Oh man that was something to watch.

As for heat control, the turob will have a really robust blanket on it. I'm not going to say much right now on the rest of the other heat control devices.

Turblown is looking at a few different options.

 

wow looks like an extremely tight fit.

 

awesome build keep us posted on how it goes i have an auto and have been thinking about this forever

 

Nah,, Just give it a Wiggle, Wiggle, Shove.

 

Flange Mounted, New T4 .82 Turbine housing, 3.5" downpipe in the works...

 

looks rather close to the ecu and the harness

 

any updates?

 

Not much. My builder decided to get married for some weird reason. He spoke some word like "love" and whatnot. :-)

 

lol so the project is on hold?

 

No not on hold. he's on vacation and will be back soon.

Hold would = no cash. Too far along for that to happen.

 

lol awesome cant wait to see the finished product its gnna be awesome!

 

lol.


I am back. Should make a good dent in this by the end of the weekend..

 

No way around it unless you want to build an exhaust manifold with a lot more bends or cheating. It will all be heat-shielded.

 

Damn this looks SICK Dave!!!

I kind of figured you were going to have to toss the OMP to fit a 3.5" DP. Did you guys plug the oil metering jet holes in the housings?

I've known many RX-7 owners who run no OMP, in fact I think AZRR recommends it, so premix is no biggie, just don't forget it!

 

Get'er done!

 

We haven't done that yet. In fact didn't even think about it.
So thanks for the idea.

We'll git thar.

I still need to send the 480's to KG parts and pick up a fuel pump from a well know eastsider. i plan to do this Saturday, that is if he calls me back.

 

I think your FP is coming in today.
