I guess I should update this thread a bit...


Here is what I been doing since...


December 6th, 2011 I got a call from my fabricator and he said he checked on the pricing for the Stainless 321 and going to order some for the new manifold set up. This means, my old SS 321 manifold with Racing Beat header flange is for sale!!! If you are interested let me know


Here are pics of my old flange set up!


Here are the pics and placement of the turbo.. Turbonetic T76.






In the car with Hinson 20B /Pettit Subframe with this manifold with Garret T76 with T3 flange.










December 8th, 2011 - My fabricator/friend Walker Morgan has explain to me how he was going to build the new 20B manifold. We've decided to use bit more expensive, 321 Stainless for the new manifold. I'm excited to see how its going to turn out!! Until then, I need to start working on the wiring for the car..

Here is a translated DSSC wiring diagram... Only one in the WORLD!!!


December 13, 2011 - I didn't get much accomplished over the weekend... Kid, wife, holiday season, plus my old house that i'm trying to get rid of is sucking all my spare time I have.

Yesterday, I finally ordered my new wheels for this car from WORK Wheels.


I'll most likely use these on the street and my RAYS/VOLK RE30s on the track.

WORK CR Ultimate is their newest Emotion Series that are much lighter and stronger than previous CR series. I'm super excited to get them and now they are available in 10.5 width.

I highly doubt this thing will make it to DGRR.... I'm also waiting on few things so it might take longer than expected.


Anyhow, more update


December 16th, 2011 - I've received some sneak peek pictures of the turbo manifold yesterday. Walker Morgan from www.MPFab.com did an excellent job.


Here are few pics from the pics he sent me!










Its made with Stainless 321, which Walker did his magic on them to look like this... Not sure if many of you seen how 321 comes form suppliers, but they looked horrible.


I'm heading over to the shop on monday to take some high res pictures with my dslr and also bring him the mid pipe and catback for him to test fit to make the DP.


Those of you who haven't heard of MPFab.com, he has worked on several exhaust systems for high end SEMA cars and custom hot rods. He also developed turbo kids for bikes and other sport compact cars.

December 19th, 2011 - I went by MPFab.com this morning to drop off my titanium catback and a midpipe so, he can start working on the turbo placement and DP. I also had a chance to take a look at Walker's handy work. Man was I impress with his fabrication skills

Here are some better pics I've taken.




I have yet to see bottom mount turbo set up on a rotary and I'm excited to see how all is going to turn out!

I realized I should of said not on a 20B. One of the main reason for us going bottom mount is to utilize the higher mounting of 20B (to clear FD steering rack) and put the turbo weight more down at the bottom vs. already higher 20B. Not sure if we would of done bottom mount if 20B was in similar location of where REW sits in an FD. 


Here is a picture of the Twin Turbo bottom mount set up.



See below for what the 20B manifold my friend Walker made..


December 22nd, 2011 - I went over to MPFab to check out the manifold progress and lend a hand if needed (not that I can do much). We also wanted to test fit the turbo and get some measurements and clearance.. But in order to finish everything up, I need to get the new steering rack.


Anyhow, here are some Walker Morgan's handy work (www.MPFab.com)
