Back on topic:

Still needs to finish welding and add the 2 wg's and dumps, but That's it soo far. I hope it all clears everything I need it to clear, and still allows room for everything else!

I was afraid of this, mutiny appears to be the only viable solution since our leader has become hostile.

Nice pics, what u gonna do for a rad?
U ain't killin' me bitch, I roll 1GA B&W mafia.

Swifty1638 · 03-07-2010

Ya, I know you are.

Rad is the same as It was before. I tried to have him make this manifold to clear my upper rad hose, since it's the hard fittings, so I hope it works out.

Swifty1638 · 03-07-2010

I have no Ladies. Well, none that I am currently dating enough to purchase anything for my car..

96GST16g · 03-07-2010

btw top mount = bad ass

santa · 03-07-2010

I think the comp cover is not close enough to the valve cover. I dont think its gonna clear the rad...

96GST16g · 03-07-2010

looks like if he woulda went closer itd hit the runner tho unless he could go up a little bit higher if the hood would be ok with it

awd-drifter · 03-07-2010

i believe the clamp will most certainly be in the way

lol. definitely going to be a killer setup man. How much did you want to make at the wheels again or what were you planning to get?

All the 1g's I've seen with the top mount like this have the turbo like 1/4 of a inch away from the valve cover. It will be interesting to see if its going to clear the radiator. Thats also why they have the turbo in there slightly angled.

96GST16g · 03-07-2010

yea i kinda figured that is why it wasnt square to the head

Constant_Project21 · 03-07-2010

Manifold looks good.

As for the mafia, I'm by far the worst member, my car isn't even home yet lol.

Swifty1638 · 03-07-2010

I asked just to make sure. He mocked it up on his brother's black 1g, and it will clear. He checked to make sure it clears the hood too, since it slopes down up front. I guess I really shouldn't need to ask, as the man is a genious with this, and other things I've seen of his. His attention to detail is quite amazing. He's currently eating Chinese, and racking his brain on where to place the WG's..

Um I have seen a very similar manifold in person.

How close to equal length will this manifold be?

Swifty1638 · 03-07-2010

True, very similar, as there isn't too many different ways a manifold could be made. I am not discrediting other people's work, just that he's really accomodating (as you have been) to what I have asked him to do.
