I don't even keep count of how many times this thing has been in and out! lol Motor going back in to make sure that header fits.

Header fits good but #1 and #6 runners will get redone for more clearance.

Gonna have to massage inside of the fender for little more clearance (btw its not touching there is about 1/4" clearance right now).

Since Tony has been bussy with his project I went ahead and reworked #1 and #6 runners and I belive that this will be the final look before she gets welded together. Since I dont have the car at the shop I had to mount the header somehow to simulate it being bolted to the engine and work bench with hand full of clamps did the trick just fine : )

#6 all done

4" downpipe will fit so much better now

Thats about it for header at this time I will have to wait for Tony to get some time to weld this hunk of metal together and then I can start working on intercooler piping (whole two pipes lol) and my Motec system exhaust.

Made some more progress today. I am building subaru ej205 engine for my buddy Drew here at the shop and in return he is welding my intake manifold together : )

 

Drew stared by tacking in three aluminum rods to minimize twisting during welding

Drew about to make first pass (yes plenum is large but not that large Drew is just really small guy lol)

Instead of just stich welding from inside he ended up doing full weld

Wow if I keep making updates this often I might even think that I am making some progress lol. It looks as of right now that intake manifold is about 80% done. Still have to do nitrous ports on the bottom, vacuum distribution block, throttle body spacer, and throttle body cable bracket. This is how she looks as of right now.

 

Ready for some welding

While intake manifold has been getting most of the attention in last few weeks I could not forget about my exhaust manifold so some more progress has been made in that department.

 

All of the runners have been fitted and welded.

I am expecting to have this thing all wrapped up by the end of month so then I can start on the exhaust and intercooler piping.

I did some side work for my boss and this is what I requested for payment lol.

New precision 46mm wastegate I dont belive these are on sale yet and I got 1bar spring in it.

Picture_2302.jpg

 

I got this little guy so I can have very nice and clean vacuum/pressure signal for my sensors. This is going to be bolted up on the bottom of my intake manifold (already done but no pictures right now}.

Got some nice push-to-connect tube fittings and nylon tubbing from McMaster-Carr so I can do all my vacuum lines and not have to worry about anything coming loose. I ended up getting 25' of tubing and about 12 assorted fittings for about $50 or so way cheaper that doing it with SS lines and AN fittings.

 

Picture_0436.jpg

 

They come with teflon tape already applied on them : )

 

Picture_0403.jpg

 

Here is an example of how they will be used

Picture_0524.jpg

 

I am planning on using this for all of my vacuum/pressure lines which should make it one very nice and clean install. Tubing is rated for 200deg F. Fittings are rated for 250-299psi. This makes it more than capable of handling my underhood temperature and my desired boost pressure of 40 psi max.

Last night Tony was able to for the most part finish the exhaust manifold. There is some light porting left, support bracket, and once downpipe is done wastegate will be able to be mounted in best possible location available. Here are some pictures from late last night.

 

Please ignore the mess Tony hand long day

What do you know well I got done with my friends Evo8 ahead of the schedule so I ended up bringing the Z to the work so we can have some extra space and more equipment to use : ). Day could have not turned out any better we had whole 17000sq between three of us. My buddy Chris ended up finishing the cage and I was working on mounting everything on in engine bay and starting the 4" exhaust.

 

This is how the day started from small garage into bigger one! lol

This is in the middle of our fabrication shop but today since no one was there we used it for parking space
