news from my project!!!!
everyone who read my thread noticed the manifold i got from ,speeding-g60,in oregon.

my tuning shop said that in my regions of boost the tubular manifold will give me a bad idle.

work has to be done!
the custom manifold had to be revised :
marked up!

the flange that was on the manifold was for a mustang gt and not the same bolt cycle as my 1.8t throttle body, so i got a co-worker make me a adapterplate....




i didnt want to have a flat plate on the manifold since it would be to plain/easy..
my welder "kurt" did it´s best to get the best possible result from the pre used and oil inflicted aluminum, the bad ground dintn help either..




the result of half a days work




i tryed to polish the manifold but i didnt had the right tools so i ended up with this




better than expected but not good enough.i need to get the mani polished.


as you can see the diameter is decreased by about 16% which was the guideline of the aircondition engineer that i consulted while planning.

sometimes it´s good to work @ a shipyard.....
