great manifold

 

Nice one Bill good to know that

Yea my mate who is a fabricator cutt the fittings and welded them to my design, took alot of explaining to what i was trying to create!

 

Compressor will be pointing further down

Its going in an A3 first then into mk2 golf, bonnets can be raised at the back if needs be

 

Really nice manifold!

Looks great Sam, well done.. how far is it from the bulkhead?

 

Shall be in touch... Thanks!

 

Cheers Number 1

About 50-60mm but will measure properly next time its all bolted on for trial fittment

 

Manifold has today been trial fittedmalong with turbo, bolted to my engine







With engine bolted in place i'v noticed little surgery was required to fire wall corner so compressor will clear better





Turbo bolted back on with plenty clearance, even bonet shuts!











Started fabricating downpipe







Tomorrows job is to make wastegate fit and fabricat screemer pipe then remove the lot for welding and wraping

Also need to weld on take offs for EGT sensors, i will be running two of them one for management and the other for Digital display gauge so i can keep an eye on EGT-s during hard use

 

that lot looks very nice good job on the fitment to looks very good so far !

 

Nice Work there Sambo , when's it all gunna be ready ?

Nice use of the Hoe's too or should i say O's

 

Im not a fan of the 1.8T engine, but I am a fan of quality craftsmanship, which, that is, great job and well done

 

Cheers Boys its coming together

Aiming to have it all ready for Fast Show at the Pod 27th of next month

Lots to do yet as i have to fabricate boost pipes, install new fueling system and wire in new management then get it mapped!

And all this in 4 w-ends i have available to me from now till then, fingers crossed

 

Took some pix of this manifold at AET the other week. were abouts are you connecting the wastegate back into the dwonpipe or are you going out with a seperate screamer pipe ?

F*rd ST

 

Nice pics Brooky!

Undecided yet, i really want seperate screemer pipe in 2" venting to atmosphere but seen as that A3 may spend most of this year as a road car as well with this set up, i am tempted to have it joining exhaust but way further down under the car

 

If you're wanting to track it, screamer pipe will probably be too loud.

 

I'd fit the pipe back into the exhaust. Novelty would soon wear off. Especially on the road
