Is there an actual GB thread for this. If so could someone please link it for me. This internet over here in Iraq sucks and it takes forever to load a page. I just dont wanna miss out on getting one of these.

Manifold is all welded up, fuel rail mounts and sandblasting commences tomorrow. Going down to the shop to check it out and hopefully pick it up in the mid afternoon.

this piece is going to make a big impact for the Protege!!! So after you test it and dyno it, are you going to release the price? And untill when do we have to order one?
 
These pictures just don't do it any justice. This thing is absolutely stunning in person.

Raining today, and I have family visiting this weekend, but I will still try to get the car torn down tomorrow to do a test fit. I want to make sure everything fits in the car before finalizing those fuel rail brackets, so that is all that is left. Will be up and running Tuesday/Wednesday.

Let me know what you guys think, this is how they will look in the end.

WOW! that truly looks amazing!!! Great work!

i tried to read through 20 pages of this thread...but i mostly looked at the pictures...lol, so i don't know if this question was answered or not...

anyways, i was wondering if there was going to be anything on there for the cruse control? it's kinda nice for those highway driving days...

A work of art! I can't wait to see this in person and then install it on my car. I'm so happy everything is working out Rich, pretty soon we will see all that hard work pay off.
 
That's nice! What is the weight like? I assume it's decently light. Patiently waiting.
 
Thanks fellas, glad to hear you all dig it so far.

Not sure I follow. I can put an extra vac port on there for it, but I don't have CC on my msp so I am not sure if there is something else you are asking about.

Just a hair under 6lbs! (bow)

yeah, i guess the vac port, i'll take a pic tomorrow for more visual...

and i pretty sure that the stock IM weighs about between 25-30lbs, i don't have a scale, so don't quote me on that...

nah, 10-12 maybe. The stocker is cast aluminum if I am not mistaken.
 
wow... its as if you did the work for me... awesome manifold... will definately get this manifold if i dont go ITBs.... and do you MSP guys like or dislike not having cruise control?

so that i'm not threadjacking too much... is there a way you can throw in a thicker IM gasket to keep the heat away from it for a lil extra if the shop does that kind of stuff?? i would hate to have this thing hurt in anyway...
