Its an arguable subject. IMO a nice flat black job looks just as good as any gloss color, hides imperfections, has a smooth silky finish and is super low maintenance. A true performance paint job. Im gonna try and find a busted talon hood to cut the hump off of. Ill graph it onto my hood where the t...

You KA is easier to make fast than your Talon. Talons tend to run like crap and break when you beat on them. I dont want to start a debate about which is better but this statement is quite assanine. I've been doing exhaust, intercooler setups for DSM's for a while now, not many of the local guys ru...

ok first off im buying a 94 nissan turck with ka24e in it, i was gonna swap to ka24de and turbo but reading here makes me wonder why, it looks like a ka24e shoudl be just as good but first some general questions 1, stock injectors are top feed 270cc but are they high or low impeadence 2, what is th...

Currently all the body panels are different colors of white and the trunk has some body work to do.

Its the cheapest/easiest way to make the car NOT look like crap.

13psi, 205 55 costco tires

im painting the car flat black this weekend, should look neat.... if its dry ill get some more cool stuff.

Take apart the turbo.

Theres a clamp holding the compressor housing on, if you pop it out and rotate the housing a bit, it will clear.

Thank you sun.

Car rips nice, if you listen during the moving launch, you can hear a nice little chirp into 4th, car was totally sideways through 2nd and into 3rd, almost hit my camera mans car

buy the manifold, take it to a tig welder and have some gusseting tigged on between the runners.

I dont make money on that $50... go to TIAL website and price out a CNC machined 1/2" stainless tial flange.

10cents more than 87....

but you get 3times the petro points and 3.5cent/liter discount off posted rate.

Get it now Jake...... :D LOL..... Looks like a good manifold......I dont feel like searchin, whats its strengths and whats it's weaknesses....? Hard to say... only thing that bothers me is its not equal length, but at the same time, it flow efficient. IMO its a great manifold, leaves tons of room e...

Im running 3" with cat, resonator and muffler...

I like the car to be nice and quiet while im cruising, makes the external dump seem that much louder when it opens

I bought a PLXm300... cheap, mostly for observational purposes.

i figure ill do all my real tuning on a dyno, its nice to watch cruising AF's though.

that thing moves out! i cant believe 2nd gear. thats that .48ar working for ya! both you and i are alike- our gas gauges never stay far above Empty lol! Eat up some more gas and get that mid 12 sec run. Its a small PITA, because when the tires spin in 2nd and hit redline, i shift into 3rd and im no...

Very nice. Yeah I had a problem with my compressor hitting my hood, so I just did the leet hood washer mod to raise it up just enough to clear. Hah funny you should mention, i just did that about an hour ago, even before i saw this post. Solved the problem mostly. I wanna hole in the hood for cooli...

The external wastegate and new manifold seem to make the car faster. I dont think the tires spun in the dry like this before... 1st and 2nd go by about as fast as i can shift through them... its nice to have power :D www.gladmanperformance.com/KAET.WMV Heres some pics of everything together..... unf...

Lets see these vids!

If they're MPEG format you can upload them to imagestation.com and link them.

You found my manifold

Try a search, ive sorta discussed the manifold and design a bit, its not an equal length manifold, but it looks good, gives you tons of space and works a lot better than a log.

My taylor 9mm wires were cheaper than bosch wires

They're really tight but they fit, and the harnesses are different.

Or is it still for bidding ?

It sold.

I pulled off the bumpers, if i get in an accident id be screwed, but atleast i can blame it on someone else

I cut out most of the sheetmetal on the doors and left just enough to support the window and sliders.

Yeah, i slipped it out from like 1500rpm

Beats dropping the clutch, i hate those launches.

Yeah, i kinda look the older one better as well, however, this one was a bit easier to make and its something new. If the performance isnt any better, i can just sell it and make a new one again.

DP would be any harder to make for this manifold.

thats some crazy NICE work! what kind of welder are you using? and coating? Pipes are all the same size, 1.5" ID... they look big because the wall thickness is like 3/16". I just used VHT 1600deg flat black to coat them. Ill be header wrapping the new one and spraying it with silicon paint.

Old design:

I sold my manifold and downpipe on ebay so i could try something new. It probably only costs me $50 in materials to make a mani, so its mostly a waste of time if you guys think it'll be crap :evil: i usually come inside and make posts while im waiting for things to cool off, that kinda explains why ...

Crazy.... you should be able to hit high 10's with power like that...

i was thinkin about the ACT2600. I had a 2100 on my honda and it would let me slip the clutch during launches.

Does ACT make a heavier preasure plate than 2600?

when you're on the freeway cruising at -15Vac, you're EGT's hover around 1400deg, throw in some uncounted air and you've got an overheating issue. My guess is your car would run really hot on the highway under cruising condition and your gas mileage probably suffers. Fixing this would increase the p...
