The manifold design turned out awesome! I’m super proud of it. The tolerances are very tight to feed the runners down to the collector to make sure there is room for a wastegate and 3-3.5” down pipe. Some fabrication pics: 5pm last night. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...226_143828.jpg 5 pm today http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...227_164932.jpg http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...227_165055.jpg http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...227_164516.jpg |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Looks good mark, looking forward to the final product!!!
Doing everything you self is the best thing! |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Your pace is insane. I don't work next month can I just come and watch the magic unfold?
|
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Looks great. Looks like you're going to have to weld in some toight spots :)
|
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
When I do manifolds I mock it up like this, fully weld the merge collected then take the runners off the head flange and collector, then fully weld each runner and then weld the runners to the head flange and collector.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Its all welded up! Next step is to weld up down pipe then I can add the wastegate to the manifold. The first pic shows more of the design.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
What kind/size WG will you use? And what do you drive while this DD is down?

Thanks! You're damn right, it is the best thing. |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Yesterday I finished the manifold, O2 dump, and down pipe.
http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...230_124825.jpg I'm officially sick of working on the car now, way too many hours spent this week. I have all winter to finish it up. |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
You're definitely getting it done quickly. I'm starting to miss having mine here to work on, I might have to get it back here and start doing some work on the old girl.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Beautiful! Better keep going--look outside, winter is over! :D
Seriously though very nice work, it looks fantastic. Take your time finishing it up and let us know when you fire it up! |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Is that a Motec System Exhaust?

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
The turbo kit has been wrapped up! All of the fabrication is complete: manifold, wastegate dump, down pipe, and lower IC piping. There are no modifications to the car, for the exception that I needed to run a Evo 5-7 radiator.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Wow, this turned out phenomenal! Create me one! ;)

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
A little update:
I completed the oil lines for turbo. I primed the oiling system while the timing belt was off the motor, installed a new timing belt and completed the front of the engine. Filled the trans with fluid. I installed Avid racings poly motor and trans mounts offering, they look great but the passenger side mount raises the engine up about ¼” of an inch. So I fabricated a 1/4” spacer to account for the design flaw. I cannot believe how much garbage companies produce without and verification & validation testing. Just a tiny bit of due diligence would make customers 100% happier. I installed the Magnus V5 and Boomba TB too. Next steps are to fabricate a slim line fan mount on the radiator, upper intercooler pipe, intake pipe. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...105_230211.jpg |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Hmm Magnus V5
|
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Which trans mount, the front/rear or side?
Ugh magnus IM and that huge TB...this thing is gonna freaking RIP! |

Motor mount on passenger side was off by a 1/4". The manifold works very good on my 1G so I was inclined to use it on the evo too. Yep this thing is going to be nasty!! |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
You do some nice work man!
|
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
God that looks clean! Keep it up man, I wanna see this beast this spring :)

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Looking good Mark! Im jealous of your exhaust housing!!!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Quick update, it’s getting closer! Servicing the turbo kit is going to be a pain in the ass due to the downpipe. I cannot snake it through with all of the turbo/manifold/WG/radiator components in place. I need to remove the WG then snake it up through the bottom to connect it to the turbo. There was not enough room to fit a V-band close enough down before it makes the bend to the back of the car.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
That looks crazy.

Yea I know what you mean. I'm debating installing one of those electronic controlled muffler on my other Evo. I had the chance to listen to one installed on a 3" TBE on an Evo and it sound OEM! The cost is a little high but worth it in my mind. At least it gives you the option to be "normal". My only concern is road salt fucking up the actuation and electronics controlling it. |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Any plan for a heat shield for the coolant return line ?

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Today I fabricated a new mount for the ethanol content sensor. I also cleaned up wiring and finalized the intake manifold. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...121_153228.jpg |
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Damn, that E meter looks like a stock piece.
|
Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
How do you intend to utilize the ethanol content sensor with the vs 1 AEM?
