That shit looks good man, it turned out really well. Now paint it + wrap it

marcj · « **Reply #33 on:** March 19, 2009, 09:54:55 AM »

it's stainless.. no paint needed.. i am going to wrap it though so the intercooler doesn't get hot.

i'm also thinking about making a heat shield for the turbine with a stainless cooking pot

based on working with mine for the past two days, this REALLY isn't going fit unless you REALLY cut up the top of your radiator support. you want to hang the turbine housing over the first portion of runner 1 & 2 like this:

Mines going in a crx... Still may not fit though. I'm not out anything if it doesn't.

I'm seriously considering sinktrap in my next build. It's awesome! :yes:

+1 for my twincharge setup so I can mount the turbo high enough to clear my s/c and still not touch my radiator. ;D

Plus it seems to be a cost effective was to get my turbo in the right place with spending $300 for a SPA topmount. :yes:

marcj · « **Reply #38 on:** March 20, 2009, 12:24:04 AM »

made my downpipe today. had a bunch of stainless 2.5" so I used that for now.
finished product ;D

Shit looks awesome man! I wish I could weld! I need to get someone to weld me up a DP.

90* fittings off the nipples should work. the nipples don't stick out nearly as far without those plugs on.

NOOB ALERT

whats the benefit of a sinktrap mani??

i was thinking it adds alot of LAG

CSaddict · « **Reply #44 on:** March 21, 2009, 02:13:53 PM »

There is no benefit. He is doing this because had a clearance issue with the manifold.

Emperor · « **Reply #45 on:** March 21, 2009, 02:21:33 PM »

so iam right? ;D

for clearance i knowed bevor $:-\$
just love to ask/and learn

marcj · « **Reply #46 on:** March 21, 2009, 03:43:17 PM »

benefit is 4" downpipe clearance, better oil drain, and A/C compatible with a big ass turbo

goal is around 450whp with a bigger set of cams

also, lag doesn't exist when you have anti-lag and full throttle shift anti-lag setup

Emperor · « **Reply #47 on:** March 21, 2009, 04:36:28 PM »

ANTI LAG

GODDAM REDNECK ;D

Cant wait to see riper vids

marcj · « **Reply #48 on:** March 23, 2009, 05:51:32 PM »

it's a little laggy on the street compared to my T3/T04E, but it hits much harder past 5k rpm :yes:

one of my biggest issues is, it doesn't spool like the T3/T04E did from just stabbing the throttle.
I did double the manifold volume so I guess that's to be expected.

can't wait to do a 20psi run with a drag clutch

Loggin in for a video ;D

You'd be surprised what fits with a sinktrap or elephant mani - mine fits in an EG with full OEM AC parts, 3" dp, and stock rad fan - just don't expect to have P/S:

Mine actually spools fast. Granted its just a t3/t04b s-trim...

marcj · « **Reply #51 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:34:45 PM »

major turbine difference.. i used 3" for my sinktrap too. a little lag, with NO REGRETS

looks good man.. is that the dual pipe cast manifold?

nice work. I can't wait to sell my piece of shit vw. $:-\$

Off of new diesel trucks, or out of the dumpster of Diesel performance shops.
