well searching for exhaust manifolds i found this link, looks like a good top mount probably for a T25 (hopefully T3)

anyone ever hear of them of seen their product??

well i emailed them so hope fully they will respond soon... but shipping will be expensive i guess..

http://evo-r.com/exmanifold.html



also found a place called http://horsepowerinabox.com that sells allot of CA18DET parts from cams to headgaskets etc... BUT most of all HEAD STUDS made by high tensil steel and ARP bolts and fasteners...



CA18DET S13 horsepowerinabox.com link

also found an intake manifold on their site too:



and a whole bunch of clutches and lightened flywheels etc..

That is not a top mount manifold... if you are as familiar with the CA manifold as I am, you will realize the bolt pattern for the flange. It is a bottom mount for the stock location. I would love to purchase that surge tank, but the last time i talked to them, they had quoted me a price way over $1000. That was crap, and i could barely understand the guy i was talking to. I think he may have been talking out of his A$$ to get me off the phone :)

OMG--i hope brian sees this!! Look close and you can see that the motor is running 8 injectors... 4 up top on the red fuel rail, and 4 on the bottom... i have been talked out of doing that many times around here, and instead I am using 4 720's. I may use the 4 370's as secondary injectors :)

Well i know 550's are just about enough for around 375-400... So i wanna play it safe for about 500-600 :)

Sweet dude...What do you mean by "I hope more than I have seen so far" though, I thought the stock rods were allready quite sturdy?

Yea, but when the stock rods are installed backwards, they tend to spin bearings at 10 psi :(

here is a little update,

I ordered the CROWER forged rods & rod bolts, and sent my main bolts and head studs to ARP to source high strength fastners for my engine... i am going ALL OUT... 500HP.. sent the block to start to prep already.. i'll take pics next time i am up at the garage.
