Thread: 12.5:1 SR22VE-T Complete, The Best Of Both Worlds!!

The shitty thin wall short ram rwd manifold. Same one I ran on my car back when it was a DE with 60 trim turbo. Bad part is that it already cracked but it cracked on the new 2" tubing that I had installed for the new wastegate flange. Didn't even crack on the manifold side. He was having problems with his tig welder so I think he just got it too hot on one half of the weld around the tube and it burned too thin and cracked. Hopefully Ill have the new manifold within 2 weeks is what im hoping for. Then gonna have my intercooler end tank modified a bit. Should be pretty sweet. Much better flowing than this one.

Went out friday and again tonight to the strip for the hell of it and got my 13.9@96 mph pass. Again trying to fine tune what I can by feel pretty much. My reaction times were on point too. On the 13.9 pass I had a 2.04 60' on my Hankook Ventus 205/50/15 street tires set to 15 psi. Not bad if I say so myself. The turbo will be here Monday I believe and then its back to boost. Thank God!!!!

good time and good mph for stock cams. what header setup you doing those times with?

keep up the forward thinking ashton. you are very valuable to this community... :beers:

"shitty thin wall short ram rwd manifold." (turbo)

the n/a times too?

Yes, the n/a times are running my shorty small diameter runner turbo manifold open. The motor definitely needs to breathe more. Lots of things killing it performance wise naturally aspirated. But I have my turbo back in my possession and it will be going back on tomorrow.

Yeah, I was just ecstatic about the 2.04 60' more than anything.

So you were running this car NA with a turbo manifold on without the turbo? SO pretty much exhaust exiting out the T3 flange?

Ashton you are a brave man bro. I don't understand it but, damn man you are crazy.

Yep, straight out the flange toward the hood vent. I love to race. No harm gonna come to it from running the motor n/a as I had it somewhat tuned, at least to the point it wasn't having problems. I did several log runs and timing very very conservative and a/f's were on the rich side of things. Again a lot more to be had n/a wise but that's not the plan. I just love to drag race and figured what the hell.

Ive put 1100 miles on the motor so far and 3 trips to the track and about 15 passes on it n/a.

patience might be something you need to work on haha but hey man more power to you for racing

lol wow, running it on the track without a turbo w/a turbo manifold. That's crazy and awesome at the same time!
