I also find the nvh from cusco tranny mount a bit annoying. Can only hear it in city driving though.
I've been following your build nix, very nice! Be sure to let me know when you get some boost in your motor

So I'm currently waiting on some argon to finish the welds, I got the runners to +-1.8% equal. Don't mind the red electrical tape. It's not staying there lol.


FYI.. The under tray still fits

One of Australia's main kitchen & bench top manufacturer. I design and build machinery. At times I think only other engineers appreciate the amount of thought and design I put in the stuff I make lol.

Final test fit today before final welds just to be sure. Aluminium on order for piping, getting close now.

My old kemmpi caddy tig. Just put the tip in the manifold and open the valve on the torch lol. Works perfect as long as you seal it properly.

Looks awesome man I wish I had the time to fabricate these days just so hard with 6 days a week working.....I did all the fab on my last AE82 Turbo project and it was most rewarding......Your attention to detail on the manifold is exquisite. Obviously going to HPC the manifold being that close to the crank pulley?

How much boost and what RPM do you expect boost threshold to be at?

Manifold will be coated internally and wrapped in titanium wrap externally. Plus I'm going to put an inconel shield where the crank pulley is. Boost will be around 15psi on e85. Should be full boost before 4k and rev to 8500
