can you post a pic. 

i would if don would send me the pictures

[bigdaddyvtec]

Nah it was for an Accord... 

[Joseph Davis]

DFE designed? Whats the plenum volume and what wave are the runners tuned to? Pro3's?

designed by aaron.  He knows the full details of the build and tailored the manifold around it.  Yea, pro3's  I dont know the answers to those questions as I put everything in his hands.    There will be a dyno comparison between my stock EuroR and this manifold tho while the engine is on Don's engine dyno.

Here's the full run down on the motor:

H23 block bored to 90mm
h23 crank lightened balanced and oiling modified
Custom DFE spec CP pistons (total of ~14:1 compression) built around the Pro3's
Custom BME aluminum H22 rods
ARP main studs
Main oiling system enlarged (mains, bearings, pump)
CC Cylinder heads port work
Skunk2 Pro3 camshafts
Skunk2 Pro valvetrain
Skunk2 oversized valves (the newest design)
Skunk2 Pro cam gears
Gen1 RMF Narrow header (will be designing my own with hood exit)
Injector dynamics 725cc
Aeromotive FPR
Aeroquip fuel feed and return lines (*)
Weirtech custom AL intake manifold
PB Tuning 68mm throttle
custom length tuned megaphone intake

Trans/drivetrain:
comp twin disk
Mfactory LSD
Mfactory 5.15 FD
Syncrotech moly carbon syncros
Gator axles
ESP Traction Bar
Innovative motorsports mounts (*)
Exospeed STAR5 15x8 wheels with 4" backspacing (*)
24.5x8.5 slicks(*)

(*) = still need to buy

i dont have tooo much left.  Bout time cuz its been down since september collecting dust in the shop and im ready to drive this nigger into the ground

And I will get walked on by a stock d16a6 on 15 pounds

the day that happens, i will put it in a hatch.

I can set it up so that it happens three times the first day you take it out.

Satin black or gun metal or clear.

I'm semi-curious how long don has had your motor.  You always here a lot of shit talking on Hater-Tech. 

[98vtec]

He has had the block and shit since Jan or Feb.  He had to measure everything and design the internals.  Took a couple months to get the rods and pistons in.  Its taken this long mostly because I don't want to go broke getting this together.  I would send him money as I got it to order parts but we are down to external accessories now like oil pump and shit.

Im 99 percent sure those people expect customs parts to be finished in days and that business revolves around one customer. If you stay in business there is a reason.

haha, so true.

[98vtec]

I knew it was going to take while.  lately I have been wondering when its gonna start going together and have to tell myself I'm not his only customer and that he has helped me out tremendously by getting me a deal with skunk2.  I've never had a problem getting in touch with him and he doesn't lie to me about the progress.  We ran into making the wait a little longer since the be of the rods didn't clear the main bridge.  So he had to cut the rods per bme recommendations. 
Custom motors take time.  I have a daily driver and I told him I'm in no hurry to get it done and he knew what I meant by that.  He's never done me wrong and never led me in the wrong direction in the years I've been calling him even before giving him my business.  that means a lot to me.

[highroller54]

if anyone put me and skunk2 together I would not thank him.

I like their cam gears.

I had no idea how slow NA was till I raced a modded ITR. Afterwards the guy was like fUUUUuuuuuuuuu... I'd only go NA on a short-track auto-x car. But even then a JRSC would probably beat it.

Looks good anyways. I can't think of a better guy to deal with, even if he's canadian.

[98vtec]

went with clear anodizing.  Still debating on fuel rail color.  I really want kawasaki green (if they have it) for some reason.

[highroller54]

whos doing the anodizing?

[98vtec]

going to anodizing next week

[highroller54]

This would be my biggest concern of the entire build.

[moto21dx]

how much was it?  Im looking for a setup with a larger plenum and that will except a ford 90mm or larger tb.

[highroller54]

i dont know.

who knows, Aaron?

[Passenger]

i dont know.

who knows, Aaron?

Who cares? There are thousands of places that do anodizing.

If you logged onto the Vortex I'm sure they would argue with you about that.

I know but I need someone good/reliable. Who do you use sir?

[Passenger]

Lol, they probably think cnc machine shops are rare too.

I usually use Spectral finishing in Surrey, but there are about 10 or more shops within 45 minutes of here, go into the Seattle area and south of there and there are tons.

I'd be more concerned that the Kawasaki green fuel rail matched my shoes.

[98vtec]

manifold complete.  Off to anodizing monday

[t_cel_t]

i hope you used filler that will take on the anodizing, not all of it does.

[weirtech]

5356 is best for color match when anodizing.  you will see the most difference in the flange... although it isn't as noticeable with a clear.

here is the red one i did for an accord after anodizing:

[highroller54]

is that a stock mani flange cut off?
