I talked to them a while back. They made one for the R32 chassis and it was only a single turbo manifold AND you couldn't run AC with it. So I think once they do a little more tweaking it will be pretty sweet.

Full Race is the shiet! I believe it's lifetime warranty on all their manifold. Their welds are superb.

Anyways Dave, it's your ride, you mod it the way you want for the setup you want. I know it'll be fast and hopefully you'll get the numbers you want....I'm just talking out of my *** from experience and since turbo hondas are dispensables commodities (dime a dozen). Just basic FI principles applies

Got these a few minutes ago. They are trying to get it running today, check for leaks and fix any issues and their tuner is going to be with it all day tomorrow.

Not only was my car not available for this.....I had a white one in for a widebody, a blue one down with motor problems, a silver one blew the #6 cylinder. So our 7 or 8 was down to like 3 or 4. Hence, as a group we decided to put this one off a week or so.

On a positive note....the car was started for the first time in almost 7 months last night. They are checking for leaks and tuning today.......so I hope.

For sticking with me on this build I want to give credit where credit is due:

Cameron, Brad, Stoney, Jason, Richie, Felix

Matchless Performance

More sleep was lost on where to put that stupid thing. Yeah I agree. It was worse though. At first they had a HONDA filter on there I think it does take awat from the manifold in all of it's polished glory, but It would at least help if the filter were a different color. I mean Blue, Black anything but white geez.

You can feel me on this one Mark....7 damn months bro. It was a long time and lots of anticipation, but the minute you start to rush to the end is when you run in to problems.

Got her on the dyno today. Our very first full throttle run at 14 psi produced 415 whp and 338 tq.

After a few more runs and dialing in some timing and leaning it out just a bit our last run ended up with 443 whp and 348 tq at 14 psi.

We didn't make any high boost runs (the BOV spring was a 1 bar spring) We went to make a high boost run nd it hit about 475 whp then the spring let off and we lost the boost.

A new spring is on order and then we'll see some numbers that begin with a "5"

I was high by 10 hp and several ft. lbs. of torque. my fault. But here is the only dyno graph we saved from the pulls.

Numbers are looking solid! I'm surprised the peak torque isn't up closer to the peak HP??

BTW, she looks awesome in person!
