sheepers 16,828 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 any idea on the time taken to machine that? its awesome ive been working on it off and on for about 2 years and ive kind of lost track of actual machine hours but at a guess id say 40 - 50 hours? if we made another one it would be way quicker but thats always the way. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tele29 187 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 That manifold is awesome man, a work of art. Which supercharger are you fitting? M112? Are you going to use any charge-cooling? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheepers 16,828 Report post Posted August 25, 2014 M122 and no cooling at this stage. im not planing on over driving the charger at first so it will be fairly good temp wise. further down the track if i change it around ill think about cooling at that point.

sheepers 16,828 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 cheers man. its a choice car to drive, lots of fun on the open road and when the road gets windy it really comes into its own. i remember having a brief yarn to you at the Toyota nationals last year. your car is really tidy man, be keen to see it again at some point.

MrMcdoll 289 Report post Posted March 23, 2015 Jesus fuck! You just keep ramping up the level of precision and skill on your cars bro! I can't wait to see the car go with that superdupercharger on there! You should look into selling manifolds, I'm sure plenty of guys on the lextreme forums would pay good money for one!

flyingbrick 7,738 Report post Posted June 20, 2015 Dunno if I have right discussion thread... But maaaaaaan that billet manifold is nice. Did you draw that up yourself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheepers 16,828 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 yea i modeled it all from scratch. took a while to get it right. i basically measured a stock manifold to get the hole spacings then cut 1mm templates of the mating faces to match up with the stock manifold. with the templates i could see which holes didn't line up and move them around. once id got the left and right side right then i made templates of the manifold holes both left and right side together to get the offsets between left and right correct. then once id done that i went about doing flow analysis on different internal shapes to try to get it to flow evenly across all the ports. then i machined it. easy. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllTorque 35,205 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Wouldn't it be a shame if the supercharger pulley hit the bonnet and you had to use a smaller one 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheepers 16,828 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 yea that could happen. TBH the 122 is running at the edge of its efficiency with the pulley its got on it. it would really only make more heat and fuck all else with a smaller pulley. should do some proper calks i suppose because I'm going to be making a new pulley so if it could be smaller……. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyteler 49,325 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 I've probably missed something but.. once you've made the adaptor plate, will that not remove also your 10mm of current bonnet clearance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheepers 16,828 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 ive taken that into account in my highly scientific calculations. 10mm adaptor plate should still give me 10mm clearance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyteler 49,325 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 I thought you would have but also thought it worth a mention in case a pie deficiency had caused a momentary lapse in calculation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
