Exhaust plates come with the head just have to do the pipes

my pants are stained with sweet smell of love.

gross i know. but i cant wait to get mine now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cars going to the exhaust shop tomorrow will get turbo manifold made and inlet made then hopefully intercooler pipes later down the track

Are you getting a so called tuned length manifold fabricated or just a log style manifold?

Wouldn't mined a tuned length manifold but might end up with a log, depends on room as my head wont fit a strata manifold, have a look at the drawing I put up on the first page and you will see why I might run out of room

started on the exhaust manifold today, just working out all the bends pipes go in monday

You're getting me very excited.

Whys that

Coz it looks freakin awesome and I wanna see what it's capable of.

Estimated 500 hp at the flywheel could be more, but that�s boosting the crap out of it and putting a pretty wild cam in to
I am putting a mild turbo cam in and running low boost to start with then I will go from there
Most of the power comes from the head it can flow a lot more than the block could handle, if I wasn�t worried about the block I could get 600 plus hp at its expense

Maybe I shoulda saved up and gotten my hands on a J-ZED...

[ilovea9x]

put your order in now and by the time its ready you will have the money

just a update on the exhaust manifold

[orangeLJ]

tight squeeze in there! are you making the manifolds yourself?

[Litre8]

Are you investing in one of 82911's crank girdles? If you intend to push the envelope then it would be worth the effort. What boost do you intend on running? With a crank girdle (and other upgraded hardware) I have seen 202's handle 30psi in circuit racing conditions.

the manifolds are being made by my brother in law

not going that far with the bottom end, I dont what to boost it up that high and not doing that much work to the crank will hopefully stop me me from wanting to

Interesting engine project you got going there, its certainly going to turn out to be a real monster.
Does JZed heads make ones for the VL Turbo blocks? And if so, did you consider using one of those? I've been told there a little bit more bullet proof than the standard 202 block.

dont think he would touch a nissan motor
the whole point is to see what I can get a red block to do

[ilovea9x]

intresting read! what computer are you gunna run.
I hope that exhaust manifold is heavy steam pipe.

what computer you gunna run? im using haltech E6X

Was going to use a Wolf V500 but might go with a microtech
as for the pipe I did want to use steam pipe but couldnt get the right size I needed so I just used normal pipe and I will be getting them ceramic coated then they will be heat wraped

[ilovea9x]

Fair enough with the nissan thing, are you making any modifications for/to the oiling system?

I have got a oil cooler for it; I just have to find room
And for the turbos the oil line will be passing though the auto cooler in the radiator
