Joff and MrsJoff's Chaste White BorgWarner FD build

joff · 01-10-2010, 02:36 AM

AZRR manifold was completed this week.

Equal length runners, schedule 40 pipe, beautiful welds and nice gradual bends. Only negative is this thing is heavy, but at least its extremely sturdy-- should hold up to being header wrapped better that way.

Pics of powder coated Xcessive LIM with fuel rail/injectors.

I JB-welded the injector adapter sleeves since I couldn't think of any reason to ever take them out and it'd just be another rubber o-ring to eventually age and fail.

Looks like a streetorstrip made that turbo manifold. Nice lower intake manifold!

NO streetorstrip is not someone we would ever do business with again. This manifold is done in house by our fabricator.

Happy day for me, our Nardi Deep Corn steering wheel came in today. I spent months searching for a Mazda Speed Miata steering wheel with no luck. So, we decided to go with the Nardi since it has the red stitching and it looks much more modern than the stock wheel.

It is slowly coming all together.
