As far as I know no one else has made a rear brace like that for this car, so I believe I'm the first and that enough for me.

I just dropped out the factory header, my flanges fit like a glove. Ports are exactly flush with the ports in the head.

Very interesting built. These custom fab work alway amazed me.

Keep up the awesome work!

Absolutely amazing fabrication work and attention to detail, cannot wait to see the turbo build up. Plus another one interested for that rear brace once you start producing them

Thanks, I'm trying to approach this build different then my past projects. I have a total goal but I'm building each component one at a time. No rush now that winter is coming and I have a truck to drive.

Ohhhhh I like all of this.

mrk1 · 11-11-2013, 08:46 PM

bit of progress today,

business end of the manifold,

JDMenrique · 11-11-2013, 08:52 PM

this is starting to get interesting!

Ammonia · 11-11-2013, 09:32 PM

Sexy work so far, stoked to see more. Thanks for being a pioneer!

mrk1 · 11-12-2013, 04:17 PM

Manifold is mocked up,

Its a little closer to the oil pan then I wanted but a big priority on the design was to have all the bolts easily accessible and that came out great. All you need is a deep socket and and extension, no wobble sockets needed.

ExtremeAutowerks · 11-12-2013, 04:23 PM

Wow, i am thoroughly impressed with the work you have done.

This is probably the best thread on this site.

mid_life_crisis · 11-12-2013, 04:52 PM

I think it's unanimous, you have to produce that rear brace.

mrk1 · 11-12-2013, 05:11 PM

Thanks, Im having fun with it. I think building a kit for a NA car is better since I can do it however I want. Rather then the rotated setup I made for my STI where I had to make it all work with factory stuff again.

Wow, I had never even heard of a CNC'd collector until this thread. Beautiful work!
