Lots of cheap manifolds are coming with braces now:

I would assume they are inadequate but you should be able to make something extremely easily.


If you have the option make sure you have that downpipe brace that connects to the transmission and a good flex pipe in your exhaust and you shouldn't have any issues with cracking your manifold/downpipe.

I've got a legit manifold but a megan elbow. I have that downpipe/transmission brace and it reallly makes a difference. My old KA-T had a legit manifold and downpipe and that downpipe cracked at least 3 times - I didn't have that transmission/downpipe brace.

 

I'm bout ready for a new flexpipe... I've drug the piss outta mine and punched a hole in it w/ the trans to engine bolt... 3" ftw

thanks. maybe a s13 with sr or rb would be sweet but i cant afford that

i mainly like having the build thread because i get alot of help and insight from other people on here




btw some of my pictures are gone till the 14th. i exceeded photobucket bandwidth on one of my accounts sorry

 

Fuck it man.... You're doin it right... Shits practical, you're building an engine thats easy to find parts for...

 

SOHC COMMIE <3

 

the 14's look dumb with the 15's up front haha


im like half way to dope status imo. lots of more work to do with fitment. solid axle is hard to work with


ineed a sunroof. since mine is gone

and look at my 3 g unit mobiles. and the ride height difference hahaha

i think i found someone to buy the beaner wheels on the truck

i want a 10 mill spacer, or maybe 12 up front too with some camber












and some stuff for the new truck

 

halfway done sanding the wheels

heres me giving myself camber by jacking up one side.. it looks so sweet if my fenders werent slightly rolled





and heres my most likley stance, with the axle on jackstands instead of me jacking up one side of the wheel

 

used vented rotors. and hawk pads yay free

and getting my car ready for the trans swap if needed, and i noticed im missing a swaybar bracket bolt, i also am going to redo a section of the exust if i get some time, making it a full 3 inch exuast from the headers back

 

Looks good man! Be carefull underneith that car. I am always super paranoid about making sure my car is properly off the ground and safe for me to work under. I once saw a guy get squashed undernieth his own car because a hydro jack cracked and O ring.
