Nu Stuffs

It's 2:30am.... and it's been a trend of getting to my house at this time for the past week.

Needless to say my car is in pieces in a shop far far away, and I've been going there every night to see that it is ready for an event this weekend. The car will have some new goodies.

I'll dig up more pictures on my phone later on, but here's a good idea of some cool things going on in the engine bay:



Fun stuff. Thanks to Orlando for hooking up with a spare intake manifold to cut up.

So yeah... moar pics later. For now... ZzzZZzzzz

Is it going to matter that the runners aren't equal lenths?

Is it going to matter that the runners aren't equal lenths?

The distance the air travels is still the same on all cylinders (give or take a bit) when we measured it. the runners 3 and 4 are longer than the rest, but they are also the closest to the TB (which is still center mounted)

I want more pictures of that intake. Have a spare laying around and have nothing to do with it.

Let us know!!

It's definetly not as easy as it looks. We were tweaking with it today. We're having fitment issues everywhere. Took us a while to get the clearance we needed for the FPR.

Hopefully tomorrow night I can take the car out for a test and tune.

Yo erick how did you like the spike lol

Yo erick how did you like the spike lol

Yeah dude it came out awsome! Thank you very much!


TJ, he was there with me yesterday but we couldnt finish the car on time to tune it. He'll be going back up tonight.

Interesting....we need more pics of it later.

Test-fitted it last night:


We had fun with the fuel rail though. The FPR needed a little "persuasion" to fit in place, but everything works great now. All that's left now is to weld the TB bracket and finish the new IC piping.

Hopefully tonight I finally get a chance to tune it.

I will have the manifold and valve cover powder coated by Shappa later on, who does excellent work. :) He also helped out by fabricating a few pieces for the intake manifold.
