sheepers Posted August 24, 2014 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
Tele29 Posted August 24, 2014 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
sheepers Posted August 25, 2014 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. Quote
anglia4 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 How will you go for bonnet clearance? Looks like quite a high manifold Quote
ta22gt Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 wow what a great job! love to see a fast back looking this good! id give my left arm to own one... mite be hard to drive a manual if i did but that only proves how much i want one haha. awesome work man love it. Quote
sheepers Posted March 18, 2015 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 Posted March 23, 2015 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! Quote
flyingbrick Posted June 20, 2015 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
sheepers Posted June 21, 2015 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
AllTorque Posted June 21, 2015 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
sheepers Posted June 21, 2015 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
kyteler Posted June 21, 2015 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
sheepers Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 ive taken that into account in my highly scientific calculations. 10mm adaptor plate should still give me 10mm clearance. Quote
kyteler Posted June 21, 2015 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
Blue Rona Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 The car looks fricken sweet man , that manifold is a work of art. Quote
Sparkle Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 vrrooom. (I couldn't very well make a doort noise, and I mean, how do you make a supercharger noise as onomatopoeia) Quote
Dr Bojangles Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I believe it's pronounced "VEEEEEEEP!" Correct me if I'm wrong here Quote
Roman Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Is it wrong that this makes me tingly in the pants region? No. No it isnt. 1 Quote
SiRedge Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Just discovered and read through. This also makes me happy in the pants region. Quote
