Looks fantastic but wondering about the practicality of it for 2 reasons.

1 - The movement in the pipe will be slightly more than the engine since it's further away from the mounts.

2- The HEAT coming out of that is surely going to bubble the bonnet.

Nah, I've seen the screamer through the bonnet on a few cars at Powercruise over the years, no visible damage to the bonnet or paint or carbon or anything else. Seems to work fine.

I'm just gonna get right down to it

Was running a poorly built 1 1/4" steam pipe log manifold made with pipe tee's and 90s... It cracked all to shit in a matter of 1000 miles (guy didn't know what he was doing/no purge etc)

He's a couple pics of the log

Like I said within 1000-1500 miles it was cracked to shit!!!!

Nice right??

So here's a sneak peak of my finished manifold before we go through the process

Meanwhile he's doing that I'm sorting out my new fuel system, wiring for the AEM V2, cas trigger disc, suspension, new wheels, hicas abs delete etc

Nice welding mate, how do you fabricate the contoured CHS parts for the merge collectors ?

The collector is built using spayed cut pipe. From there he just welds them together and ports it out by hand.... Nothing exotic there.

Nice work! What are the engine specs? And is that one of those "oil less" Comp Turbos? Not a popular choice - be interesting to hear how it goes

Tomei genesis RB28 shortblock

Mild port on head

Multiangle valve job

Tomei valve springs

Greddy 264 9.1 cams (gonna go more aggressive later like 272 11 lift)

This comp turbo is not oil-less, you can see the feed and Drain in a couple pics

They hadn't released that technology yet when I got this turbo about 4-5 years ago, they literally released billet wheels a month or two after I ordered it otherwise I would've gone billet

It's a 72mm triple ball bearing SX wheel .81 hotside

Selling price?

he said he could do the 1st couple at $1700usd to break into the Australian market

Once they prove themselves there (and they will) the price would bump up a little

This includes a manifold setup for twin tial gates

Ahh silly me - cheers for the details, sounds like it's going to be a bit of a monster :)

I'm located in the US. I have my own race shop in AZ. Just curious on the product. Looks great.

I really wanted to be but I'm still not 100% ready for my largest race for the season coming up in a few weeks. I have a new motor installed that I haven't heard make noise yet!!! We might make a day trip cause I have a few empty body panels that could use sponsorship. Kinda up to the wife also.

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
