Thread: Just a little update

I like it, but you should have turned the inlet towards the fender a little...not a big fan of forward facing manifolds and you know a certain person is goin to say you're biting something he did

I know who you are referring to lol but my design is much better and will outperform tha persons anyday. Also I was going to turn it a little more but the collector design kind of limited me to where it could go without making a lot of big changes.

it is interesting to see the turbo facing that way. Good for intake I guess, but the exhaust side looks like it is going to need to make a significant bend before it can exit.

a decent drag setup looks like. Not sure how this would perform in any other circumstance. What compromises have you made to get this where you want it to be? You took out the rad support and need hood pins. Anything else?

The only sacrifice I have made is that I have had to switch to a civic radiator. I am going to replace the radiator saport mine was a little beat up so I want it to look brand new. I am also going to be running the factory hood latch combined with a set of aerocatch hood pins. I have to trim the top of the factory radiator saport a little but it will be there.

are you concerned with the welds breaking with the turbo being out that far?

mine is closer to the OEM location, but a shop i was talking to seemed concerned the welds won't hold after repeated use.

No I am not concerned about the welds at all I have a brace going to the turbo flange from the transmission that kind of looks like a mini traction bar and that will deffinatly handle the load.
