Motor is in... good news.. pic

After a while of rebuilding the CA is back in. My ssac manifold seems like it will be able to work. I still have a good amount of room for the downpipe and flange. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has helped me in this process. I think this has to be the best "engine specific" forum on Nico.

Thanks again

AFAIK, you're the FIRST person in the US (LHD) to get that manifold to work. It must be because you're not using the turbo that they sell. Congrats and keep us updated on the progress. I'm intrested to see if the manifold holds together for you.

I got the welds re-enforced and a bracket made for it. We'll see what happens.

[float_6969]

Any pics of the bracket? Does it contect to the turbine flange and then run back up the the head?

Oh, and I would seriously consider some sort of heat sheilding for the BMC...
