A lot of people had to swap over to the 626 injector o-rings to get them to fully seal. The old design had the hand-fabbed fuel rail mounts, which wasn't as perfectly consistent as machining them. The new design will ensure that every single manifold has a perfect rail/injector geometry, with no...
Oh and I am very seriously considering not offering a EGR hookup at all. I am looking into a workaround for the CEL instead. I know that some of you have said that no EGR was a deal breaker, but the problems with it outweigh the benefits by far.
If I can't figure out a workaround for the CEL I...
I was not able to investigate any further, as the owner of the manifold took it to a shop to have a quick fix done instead of sending it back. I totally understand since he needed the car back on the road immediately, but I was disappointed that I couldn't get it back here to make sure it was...
This has been a complicated one since the owner only speaks French and I don't, but I want to address this one here openly so people aren't left wondering what's going on.
Most importantly, I want to say that the manifold in the picture above will be taken care of and it will be back on the...
Manifold will be flow tested digitally.
No idea what the exchange rates are these days. :)
Due date will be after all prototyping bugs and production details are worked out.
Plenum shape is going to have rounded corners.
Photos and updates are coming real soon. Working on the manifold stuff...
With the complexity of the new main flange plus other improvements and cost of material going up, it's going to be up a little from the 1st/2nd gen manis... probably about 950 give or take a little.
As for where we're at on it...
I have a new guy working on the modeling as of last week, since...
All of the minor details have been worked out. PM's have been sent to everybody on the list for final options and deposit info. Will be updating the list as deposits come in.
Since everybody wants a black box so far, that is going to be the only option other than bare for this batch. Anybody...
It's possible, but I'd have to move the piping a little closer to the fans in order to get the base of the filter to fit on an angle, which might cause issues for some people.
Glad to see the positive impressions so far. I have the final price sheet all wrapped up except for material, which I...
I made a bunch of different window configs today, and after combining the best looking parts of each, this is what I think is the best way to go:
There will be a radius on each point instead of just a sharp corner, but that is the gist of it.
Better?
Ok just got back the second test set from Wes.
We are perfect on fit this time, so we're all set as far as the lid, floor, and wall pieces go. I'm still not digging the window shape though, so what I am going to do is make some cardboard or hardwood samples this weekend here at the house with...
Yep.
The new one is growing on me, and that front corner won't be as harsh looking on the final piece. It stands out so much on that pic because of the gap between the lid and the upper rad support.
Thanks. 35 was a good one. :)
I got home early today and test fit the box. The floor piece was perfect, the wall needed an 1/8th inch tweak in 2 spots, and the lid needed a 1/4" tweak along the front edge. I just barely made it down to waterjet before they closed for the day, got the changes made on the computer, and they...
