i think it cost a total of $50 bucks or so for material and another $50 on grinding wheels and a non ferrous burr. I already had a spare manifold to cut up and the q45 throttle body.
I bought...
2 feet of 4" x 1/8" pipe
2 feet of 4" x 5/16" plate
and 1' x 2' x 1/8" sheet
I ordered it all online from metalsdepot.com

yeah i made the throttle body flange. 3" hole saw, then reemed it out some more with a burr, and drill and tapped the bolt holes.
As of right now i have way to much going on to even think of making another manifold. It took a **** ton of hours getting it where its at right now.

Well i got the cold pipe done and mounted. I adjusted the throttle tension to adjust my idle since i got rid of my iacv. The q45 and ka tps sensor are the same but for some reason it was reading backwards on aem ( full throttle was 0% and vice versa) so i had to rewire it. I drove the car around the block and everything seems to be working great. Im hoping to get it to the dyno and have it tuned tomorrow, but we will see.

Interesting dyno.
Your car is making good peak numbers but area under the curve appears really small. With cams and a short runner intake manifold your car should make peak power well above 5600rpms. I would expect the hp to peak somewhere around 7000rpms. It also seems very laggy for such a small turbo.
I think that turbo is causing your narrow powerband and just about maxed out. It has a small compressor and a huge turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is larger than the garrett t350 wheel "stage 5" which is often matched with turbos that flow in excess of 60lbs/hr. However, i doubt that compressor will flow more than 35lb/hr.
I'm not hating, just giving my 2 cents. I think if you upgraded to a modern well matched turbo you would fall in love with you car all over again.
Nice job on the car and all the diy stuff you have made, especially the intake manifold. I like your style, well done sir.

thanks for comments, If I could afford it I would be running a new turbo. Regardless I feel that my current turbo still has some steam in it. The Porsche guys run this up to 20 or something psi, so i should be good for a few more. I am definitely loosing some power up top due to my cams being poorly degreed though.

Your engine bay is so fresh and clean. Congrats on the new numbers. That's a lot of power for only 9psi.

Yeah it's because the Q45 TB rotates the opposite way compared to stock...you could have easily checked a TPS invert parameter in AEM and no rewire would have been required.myowncasualty wrote:Well i got the cold pipe done and mounted.

Looks like a great setup.
