Nick, glad you are getting it back together!

wow your Otis manifold looks wayyy better than mine I'm sorta jealous. Mine originally didn't fit so I had to send him Dj Buttchug's old one with mine to get the fitment correct and honestly not super thrilled on the fix as it's cracked in that spot a couple times now. Totally not Otis' fault I abuse my car and dirt drop a lot so my exhaust takes a lot of abuse. But I added a gusset to the manifold to reinforce it a little bit and that seemed to fix the problem.

Looking good though! next thing you'll be doing is going standalone lol

Otis does extraordinary work. I remember when he built my manifold. He matched the fitment spot on with only 15 min of phone description. To this day my mani is just as good as it was the day I got it.


BallerMcDee lookin fresh. Good lookin out brotha'

Precisely.


Here's a teaser Otis sent me of my new manifold.

what kind of engine management are you running for boost?

[Balleristic31]

Had a small failure at the exhaust manifold... Jake dealt with everything very graciously, and with the manifold off I took the opportunity to upgrade a bit...

More to come later.

Good progress dude. I hope those are genuine bosch 42 lb/hr injectors. I tried jake's tune originally before going megasquirt and the biggest issue I had was I had some cheap junk injectors and they would just DUMP fuel into the engine and it was annoying.

Also you're definitely going to want to open that manifold flange hole up. Otherwise you might blow the gasket. I had to do it from the manifold I had Otis make for me as well, it isn't pretty but well worth it in my opinion.
