RXtacy's slooow build up

[JhnRX7]

Awesome project!

Looking forward to see if you will be able to re-route the wastegates... I have been putting off going single, but I have been getting tired of replacing twins so a single will be in my future soon. I absolutely want a short runner manifold but for me the deal breaker is being able to reroute the wastegates. I have yet to see it done on a short runner like this.

Thanks John

That won't be for a while. I'll be running open dump initially. The only forcing factor for going re-route will be whenever I wanna hit up LRP. Stupid noise restriction I think it will be doable, tough but doable.

Interesting! Looking forward to the results!

Thanks! Me too

Got my clutch. Exedy twin disk. My buddy Tyler gave me a unbeatable deal on it. Thanks brotha!



Also finished up the turbo manifold.






Will have more pics once it's cool.

Sig: "It allows me to secks them before they're cool"

Those should be interesting pictures.

Good work on the manifold btw!

Good luck with the re-route. I bet it won't be as bad as you think. What size is your downpipe?

It's currently 3.5" but I want to step up to 4" all the way back.

Hey John..... Lets put it this way.... the mani Mike and I built for my car is almost a carbon copy of the one we built for his.... difference beeing because of the motor mounts and firewall placement... fitting a 4" DP in my FC was a MOTHERFUCKER...... but I built a LimeRockPipe to recirc both dump tubes back into the DP.... while it wasn't fun, it took about a day to build to use it for like 20 minutes..... hopefully I can extend that this year

So.... planning on taking this to LRP eh? LOVE IT!!! That should make up for the lack of rotaries on the track this past year

Yeahhhhh this year was pretty weak for track events. I do have a Thunderbolt day planned for Nov 10th BTW. I have a trailer now, so LRP is even more tempting now!

Yea that DP was TIGHT.

And if someone had let the limerockpipes fully cool while clamped up, we wouldn't have had to use the acetylene torch to install them

Although I must admit it was pretty cool watching them grow right up to the mating flange

So.... planning on taking this to LRP eh? LOVE IT!!! That should make up for the lack of rotaries on the track this past year

Hopefully at some point.
