Not done yet but just an idea at this point.

That looks great! About time you got it finished

Is the WG dump going to enter the downpipe from the bottom or are you going to run a screamer pipe?? I can't really envision it from the pics.

Is the interior of each runner coated as well? If so, major kickas$.

yeah it's going back into the down pipe under it and at and angle. I'll take the pics when it's done and you will see

holy hell that is nice and shiny. Who did the coating?

A local shop did it. He sends them all his manifolds to get coated.

[Yellow4g63]

uncoated looks more bad azz. you can actually see the craft of hard work and time put into. now your hiding all that lol. i just love raw custom built manifolds.

This coating is going to help keep a lot of heat in the manifold so I don't melt my carbon kiber hood lol.

I'm necromancering this thread.

Yet another small update. Had some work done on my car. Had the rear subframe bushings changed, Installed my R32 GTS-T LSD and Axles, Changed over my leaking fuel tank to a non leaking tank, had the Zbrakes installed and 5Lugs installed. Since the car is running @ 15psi I'm going to take it home and do some more work on it. Turns out my thermostat is sticking now . I have to pull the intake manifold now to change it sad times. I also got some R32 GTS wheels from someone for my stock S14 wheels. They don't look too bad either.

vented hood and desert don't mix going to take a while to clean out all the sand that has stacked up in there.

picked the car up and brought it home!.


Got it home and parked it in the driveway but couldn't start working on it yet. Had my NX in the garage because I broke a piston. Changed out pistons replaced head gasket and it made smoke. Pulled it out and cleaned of my 240 before parking it inside.

I just hosed it off didn't feel like washing it since I need to de desert my engine bay . vented hoods are not cool if ur car is sitting around like mine was for long periods of time outside.

Cleaned it up and started to do some trouble shooting. My stock temp gauge started to wig out after the car warmed up. It looked as if I was over heating. A new temp sender from autozone took care of that problem. Then I went to work installing my 3 gauges 2 defi unit and 1 STri. I'm not too happy with the STRi one it's the boost gauge. Ohh well maybe I'll spend the coin and get the Defi one.








Now more up to date. I was out of town for like 8 months working. Came back home and didn't do s*** to the car lol. Then one day I got off my a** and started installing parts that I had bought.







Then I cleaned some of the dirt out of the engine bay.

I searched online to see what people did to clean engine bays. Some guy said Wd40 a brush and lots of your time. Well I had nothing to lose so I got to work.


Couldn't get my intake manifold clean since I got some other stains on it . I need to get a tooth brush to really get into it. For right now it's a touch down.

I already added the pins to the harness for the AEM air intake temp sensor and map sensor. Need to get the bung welded on the intercooler pipe for the air intake temp sensor and the meth injection nozzle. I won't be installing the AEM till I get it to my friends shop so we can work on a start up program then throw it on the dyno. This is just for a little bit till I either blow the motor or start working soon again. I'm going to be building a SR20VET since I already have the head. My friend has a block for me and I already bought the pistons and rods for it.








I'm also going to record the maf voltages of the lightning maf to make a better VQ map for other people who want to do this maf in a smaller pipe since no good VQ maps are out for it.

manifold looks great! but i believe i would have cried to pop my hood and see a desert in my bay like that lol

I did trust me. Then I cursed my self for buying that vented hood.

Today I didn't do too much. I changed out the stock lights in the cluster with some LED bulbs. Then I changed out my STRi boost gauge to a DEFI unit. Now they all match. Left my camera at home so I had to use my cell phone to take the pics.
Old pic with the STRi boost gauge in.


new pic



Led cluster lights installed


I also looked at where I'm going to mount the AEM water injection nozle and AIT sensor. Still not 100% yet.
