Ok guys, I am almost done with my GT35R install on my forged H22.
I decided to take a few pictures while the thing is still clean!

The idea behind that bizzare looking thing was to make a 4-2-1 turbo header that would maintain AC, PS and front engine mount.
I basically wanted to segregate the exhaust flow of runners 2&3 from runners 1&4 in the hope to reduce the backdraft of exhaust flow that travels backward towards the 2 non-firing cyclinders at every engine cycle, which is one of the major causes of LAG.

Twinscroll turbine would be IDEAL for testing a setup like that but since the GT35R is NOT twin scroll, i made the manifold so that both sets of runners merge together at the very last minute before entering the turbo. The wastegate is also installed in that same spot so it equally discharges all runners.
Driving impressions soon... i'm now into tunning.

 

That manifold is sex

Did you bend the pipes yourself, or are they welded bends? If you did your own bend work....then DAMN you put some time into that manifold.

 

Looks pimpin.

Make sure you wrap that upper radiator hose!!

Any pics of the manifold off the car?

 

Seen that mani before.... is it one of yours??

 

did you even read anything he typed

 

ACtually, I wrapped the hell out of the manifold instead. PLus I made I heat shield for the distrib. Don'T want to set it on fire again....

 

Ya I know i suck, i saw one on egay a while back, and was curious if this was the same one, or if hed made more....

 

Thats a pretty insane manifold

 

VERY NICE WORK!!! I like the side mount. I was wondering if you braced the turbo and manifold to the tranny to support all that weight?? Very clean!!

 

i want to rape that mani in the butt
