Definitely!

Gonna dump (hue) some more pics that the shop took of the (almost) finished product.

f**k that looks sick, needlessly complicated, but sick.

At first I thought much the same, but I think seeing it with the dumps connected is making it look more complicated than it actually is. Compare it to the old Hurricane/RPW extractors.



Even though it looks overly complicated due to making the section from the rear dump equal length (admittedly not essential, but I'll take the marginal performance and nicer sound), the system as a whole is noticeably straighter. The pipe from the front dump doesn't have to bend out of the way to accommodate the curve of the rear one, and it all doesn't have to bend back again into the tunnel after they merge.

Work of art that.

Whoever made that was having a fun time is what happened there. f**king nice

I've said it belongs in a museum.

A fun time dodging the alternator and rack and everything else haha

Looks similar to my exhaust, the long straight section.

Must be why none I’ve heard sound like mine.

I fapped. That is some nice fab work.

Are they an off the shelf thing or custom? I know the ones I had off Sahin were different too.

And more yet to come!

Some gradual updates. Most of the intercooler piping is complete. I think the only factory part on there is the one rubber feed hose to the rear turbo, otherwise it's all custom. The plan of using a factory or new airbox hasn't panned out due to space limitations, so instead we're just going with a shielded pod filter and putting distance between it and the MAF to hopefully avoid the turbulent air issue. Tight squeeze for a lot of stuff as anticipated, but Nathan's managed to work it out pretty well. Some trimming of the bumper required to fit the intercooler, and zero room to fit the mesh to it. Shouldn't be an issue with Dstocks bar in future.

Not much left to do!

Was 28th of Jan when you posted pics of the old motor coming out. Almost a year now. Proper racecar!

Rob said the same lol

Stay tuned for when I hit the track... In December 2019!

Very tidy, those pipes look amazing.

Yeah I'm keen to see the final product! And it'll look better when they're all linished too.

Boost*

What about relocating the fuse box for air box space?
I can send you a decent length section of facelift harness.

Looks awesome mate., great work
