Well I got the job to upgrade the stock setup on this Mazda BF. Plans included a new 304 SS log manifold, T3/T4, front mount I/C, 2 1/2" charge piping, 3" 304 SS DP with SS V-band ends, and Tial 38mmWG & BOV. Here are the progress pics: (Sorry for the BB pics I forgot to take my camera with me)
Tacked up the mani and added a V-band to the 5-bolt flange
I really didn"t want to do another "log" so I started to make a "mini-ram"
I got to that point and mocked it up on the car, mounted the turbo, and realized that the turbo was way too low in the bay. So that idea was scrapped. Had I figured that out before I would have ordered more material to do a tubular.
So back to the "log"
Everything in position:
I used that style I/C because that car is so rare that the customer didn't want the bumper to be cut in any way.
Wastegate flange needs to be added:
Close-up of the welds:
I'm waiting on the 90 degree silicone hoses and oil lines so I can finish mock up the pipes.
Stay Tuned more updates soon!
