Woot parts keep comming in

[YokotaS13]

So today the guy im biulding his car 97 tsi awd
his SBR cast manifold finally came in, and hybrid connections o2 housing (man is it ugle as sin but works)
so im sitting here waiting for the engine to cool down so i can PB blast the mani bolts nad put it on. All he has left to order is the 18/16g (now he wants bigger) injectors, fuel pump, and a wideband. Should be in mid 12s or so

Sounds good so far. Keep us updated.

ok, update
Gredyd EGT is kinda in, forgot how to hook up the 4 wires (except black and red)
SBR manifold, top notch work. Huge runners, and the easy option to an ext gate. Quality is excelent, along with a 4 layer exhaust gasket
Hybrid connection o2 housing- ugly as hell, but runners are HUGE!!! had to encourage the downpipe to fit a lil bit, also remember to get new bolts for it, studs arent built in


Was a bitch to get the mani on, forgot i had to take out hte stud from the turbo, its been a while since i did a mani
the o2 housing took like 4 hours due to a stuck ass bolt, finally i got a really big hammer (like sledge) and set up the ratched and stuff, and used an extension to hit down on it and break it. PB blaster helps with everything.

other than that, it was a pretty str8 forward stuff if you have all the right tools (i dont here, so it kinda sucked but i managed)0, broke a ratchet and a step down)
Im happy with it pics will come soon enough, i forgot to snap some, but its beautiful

shooting for 12s with an 18g now, all we have left is the turbo, fuel pump, injectors, wideband and a dyno tune

12's should be easy, almost too easy. What ems are you tuning with?

I'm going to be getting one of those manifolds soon for my eclipse. Let me know how it works out. Sounds like a pretty good setup, not sure that I really like the 18g's but it will get you into the 12's. How long till the car is up and running?
