Single Turbo VR4 #2

[Unknownvr4]

Hes probably going to wrap it like his old set up.. But on my old set up, the MAF touched the pipe and even though it was wrapped, it melted it alittle bit

[Roy]

On my old setup the injector resistor pack touched the downpipe which was wrapped, it got melted a bit . If I can't move that hose far enough over when the coils are mounted on the motor then I'll probably just weld up a metal pipe to replace it.

I went with the S400 since it was only $650 new, I was really close to buying an S300 this time but I'm on a tight budget right now.

Nice lookin' setup vr4_rider!

well, this is nice. what size of intercooler piping are you using? like wall thickness and stuff... I want to make some custom pipes.

[Roy]

The intercooler piping is 3" OD 16 GA, 0.065" wall thickness.

From a scale of 1-10, how hard was it modifying the 6G73 manifold to fit? Austin from STM has the same intake manifold but with a 1G DSM master cylinder for extra clearance.

[Roy]

Grinding the manifold for clearance was easy, 1 out of 10. If I remember correctly it only hit in one spot on the rear valve cover. Making the block-off plates on the drill press was also easy. But it was the TB adapter plate that was a pain in the ass to make. I don't have a plasma cutter, so cutting the big holes in the TB adapter took a lot of work with the drill press and die grinder.

I also had to remove and block off the IACV housing in order for the TB to fit where I wanted it. I still have to make a plate to remotely mount the IACV, I just haven't felt like doing it yet.

Overall I'd say 6/10 or so.

My borg warner seems so small compared to all the above.

Roy, thanks! I am going to sell this kit and maybe go twin..lol. I dunno yet.

Ben, what BW turbo did you get?

[Unknownvr4]

I ended up getting a BW/IHI GM4.. mainly because of the price so ill see how far i can push it.. If its too small ill probably look at a s300 or something like that..
