Re:Twin Turbo D16Z6 PICS
I could care less how a manifold looks...
infact, I think it looks good. Awesome idea though... very very awesome job. I wouldn't have had the patience to do something like that. Let us know how it does.

Re:Twin Turbo D16Z6 PICS
Well theres nothing I can do about the angles of the turbo now since the manifold is already built so all I can do is wait and see. The way they are mounted is the ONLY way to get 2 turbos to fit in a 90' hatch with the full rad. The fit is so tight I had to order motor mount inserts to make sure it doesn't hit against anything. And I know the manifold looks like hell right now, wait till everything is polished and powdercoated than criticize. The reason I did a twin turbo was becuase it was the cheapest way to go. I have about $200 invested...both turbos, 36x6x2.5 intercooler, water injection and all piping. I want to hopefully do an 11 sec pass for under $4,000...Including the price of the car and I have a good chance of doing it.

11's for 4000 is possible, but its scraping like a mother ******. Jan (boosted9) had a z6 crx running 18psi on a stock z6 and ran a 11.9. You never said if the motor was built or not? stock rods? yes/no? I'd be a bit cautious on using direct port Nos w/ a twin turbo setup on a stock z6
(let me guess, the NOS is for backup, just incase they dont spool?)
