wow, that would blow.

shitty

Wow that sucks. On a good note there was still some oil in the pan. I doubt any real damage was done.

**scheides** · 07-21-2011

Changed the oil and filter again (and double-checked the filter and the drain plug!), no signs of ish in the oil pan, no bad noises yet. Went for a drive w/ spaz to get the oil good and hot, no issues the whole way. I'm hoping she stays together, I don't want to take this thing apart again.

That really sucks! It sounds like no damage was done though.

**scheides** · 07-24-2011

Put on about 100 miles this weekend, no problems! Thank god! My fingers are still crossed but everything seems fine. Now to clean up the oil all over my engine bay and undercarriage.

I've done that before...a few cans of brake cleaner helps lots

I remember back after swapping the 16G onto my old Talon that I had a very oily undercarriage from the initially leaky return. First time it rained it got nice and clean.

Sorry to hear hopefully everything okay!

**scheides** · 08-02-2011

Got a few tanks of e85 through it now, it still rips good!

Glad all is well, very scary seeing a low oil light alarm! Good fast reactions. That is why I have a prosport that has a visible and an obnoxious audible alarm.

Hrm, lookee what landed on my work bench this evening

These pics do not do this manifold justice--it is smooth and SO SEXY on the inside!

This is MAP's Rev3 port job. They cut open the plenum for maximum awesomeness of the port job, then weld it back together. Only thing I'm a little disappointed about, I was hoping to strap on a 64mm throttle body to this some day and ummmm yea. Hopefully my caliper is off (but I doubt it), it's just a cheapy.

The inlet is opened up to only about 62mm

I spoke with MAP and they assured me it would fit with a 64 so idk...my tools are not that accurate but whatever....I'll deal with that down the road.

Here's the stock TB, only about 60mm:

Quick rip around teh block and the car is leaning out almost a full point--that's a good sign I think

**PlanoEvo** · 10-04-2011

Most badass!

**Murlo26** · 10-05-2011

Sweet!

I am jealous for sure, I want to see what kind of gains you see if any. People have said the IM and TB aren't really bottle necks on the X's, I hope you see something...it will give me a mod to do next.

FattyBoomBatty · 10-05-2011

That's cool that it's noticeable on the gauge! Any seat-o-the-pants gains?

rose0529 · 10-05-2011

Looks nice!

C3L1CA · 10-05-2011

I bet if you used nitrous and had a backfire that piece they cut open would put a nice dent in your wirewall.

Looks cool and hopefully you pick up some gains with it!

awd-drifter · 10-05-2011

looks niiiice!
