You'll seriously shorten the life of your manifold if you don't run any form of flex pipe.

[envyit]

flexi is at the end of the front pipe under the sump.

4.5 years is a long time for a custom manifold!
good stuff

who made it?
steam pipe?
stainless?

wheres the side exhaust go to?
under the passenger?

have u got sufficient exhaust mounts?


post up the progress pics mate!

[envyit]

a friend of mine made it for me when he was at a muffler place so he had access to everything needed, its just made of mild steel tubing.
the sidey comes out just behind the front passanger wheel its loud
exhaust has rubber hangers in the factory places.

One Word.... RESPECT! that is a great build up mate. Congrats on the power figures

[boost_lover]

mate looking good mate, big thumbs up. cant wait to see the new results of the car. beast :twisted:

[UDLOOZ]

That is one cool car man you should be very proud, it looks the part and has the go to match it... as for what sorta power you are achieving that is just pure horn... It might be a bit rude of me to ask but a around about how much money have you spent on it over the years??
Again very nice car..

[envyit]

with all its different engine and turbo combo's over the years its had way tooo much spent on it, alot of the money was spent on tuning, breakages and mods back when not alot of ppl knew too much about the gsr's and evos. wheres now theres a simple path to follow to get the results.

on the curent spec build its had prob 30+ nzd spent on it but thats included the whole engine, turbo, cooler, whole fuel system, lots of hours on the dyno, fuel, clutch, cage fabrication etc.

i should'a brought another house instead :oops:

[envyit]

well the new manifold is on, its pretty much a copy of the old one but this one flows alot more smoothly.




i had it run up on the dyno just to check everything was all ok and it came out with 451.5kw atw on the same tune, boost increased to 29.5psi over the 28 the car has been running.
peak power was also made over 500prm earlier than before and it was still going straight up where it was more of a curve before.
i also gained about 90 more ft lbs of torque and in the mid range boost is coming on alot faster, at 5000 it now has 5 more psi than it had before.

fueling is my hold up now as im going to either need bigger injectors or add some extra's, ill prob do the fueling more for safety than going for more power.
i think it has enough for now

good stuff mate!!!

looks really nice!
too nice!

[CLuTZ]

Oh yeah, this car is amazing!!!


nice work!

[GSRSOL]

that looks awesome 8)

[JAP63]

Nice.!!

450Kw...faaark
Question..how do you go with driveshafts etc,rear in particular..?
broken any?

has the ralliart driveline held up well with this sort of power?

[envyit]

surprisingly enough ive never had an issue with drive shafts breaking.
the box has held up to alot of punishment over the years ive had it for, ive only had to replace alot of 5th gear hubs, from it not liking to engage 5th quickly.

if it doesnt rain on sunday im taking it out to the drags, well see how well it holds up

[boost_lover]

im keeping an eye on this one. good luck if it doesnt rain.

[envyit]

it wasnt a great day, we had a small shower which stopped racing for a little bit, and also my twin plate slipped through all bar one run.
ended the day with an 11.1 then a 11.2

[bazeng]

still very fast dude!

whens the next race?

[envyit]

for chch the next one is mid feb then the 4 and rotary meet here mid march.

auckland has the 4 and rotary nationals in 2 weeks time.

the plan was to take it to auckland, but now with needing a clutch those plans may be off.

[SIVART]

[boost_lover]
