Who ever the hell you are i love your mod, and that header combo looks trick!
Just remember to take it easy and dont run any boost until you get it on a dyno, u dont wana lean it out and pop
-
ya thanks! LOL screen name is Remolexi, real name is Andrey, or my friends call me Drey .. its shorter.
anyway, got the wastegate actuater and all the oil/water lines hooked up, everything is cleaned up and ready to be test bolted on. Ill give it a go next Wednesday. I wont run ANY boost, just have it bolted see how it spools, see if there is good clearence at all RPM ranges and check for any leaks that may occur.

I have 23K's flange, I placed that over the Evo header to see how it lines up - the ports were perfect but I did have to drill extra holes . no I havnt got around to removing my stock manifold since the bottom last copper nut got stripped and I cant fit a socket down there ... I just have to reach down there and file it away I guess and its not easy since my car is my daily driver everytime I get home the engine is too hot to touch. Wednesdays I have days off so I can try to see what I can do.
-
Would you be willing to sell me 23k's old flange?

Heres pix of the intercooler, I had a tough time mounting it at my house - no tools at all!!!
looks wack ill have a go at it tomarrow I need to raise it and get a new bumper ASAP thinking either a Lumma tuning or a reiger like Jstrat has.
and theres my first car I had ... the SE-R Vspec
loved her, but not a fan of FWD so my younger sister gets to keep it haha
-
Markland if i end up not needing that flange its all yours, $45 thats exactly what I payed for it.

uhh , ya I remounted my IC a lil higher and better, and spent my day working on Sacc230's car. I tried unbolting my stock manifold today but the nut in the very back bottom closest to the downpipe got stripped!! I dont even know how to get it off since I cant fit a socket of any size in there. i tried using a wrench but it just rounded off the sides of the hexagon .. What can I do now I cant reach in there and cut it off with anything!!
next idea is bolt cutters while car is on a lift .. Pray to God i have enogh space for those in theres!!

no i dont even have that adjustable wrech, I have a set of those other ratchets but i dont use hose either - I have enough space for a 12mm deep socket and thats what i used to get all of them out, till the last nut was very tight in there so I went underneath the car with a 12mm wrench ... it just got rounded off. im kinna pissed cuz thats thrwoing my project off
-
core is 21"x6"x2.5"
overall is 27" long .... 2.5" inlet/outlet port to match all the pipe size im going with.
-
heat the bolt up with a torch, and try to only get the bolt as much as possible, then grab a pair of channel locks, and just squeeze like crazy, then turn.
-
just what markland said - could also clamp on vicegrips to try and turn it. the reason it got stripped is that its entirely common for the exhaust manifold/header bolts to shrink over time as they get cherry red from the heat.
on the old chevy V8's i would work on, isntead of using a standard socket, you would sometimes have to hammer a comparable metric socket to get them off
-
Im going to be trying to use a small grinding tool and grind the side of the nut off and the chisel it out - they are copper so it shouldnt be too hard, but space is an issue.
