GURUMAN'S final quest for 9 seconds, V6 single turbo style...

[Evilevo]

I have a 8 page document with it, how well it flows , everything was tested... My hopes are high.

Derp.

That isn't what he is saying Dom, he is saying that the motors on the cutouts fail a lot due to high heat.

guru is talking about his statement that the IM is going to fail under boost not about the cutouts.

Weird quote bud...

Ha, that is what I get for not reading and just replying. Derp.

I didn't say, is going to fail. I said have been known to fail, it all depends on material thickness and weld quality. And as for flow, I have seen CFD data on intake manifold design where rounded corners flow much better than square corners. My buddy is designing manifolds for both VW/Audi applications right now and I have seen a lot of the inside workings of designing one.

Not saying it won't work though. I have a square manifold on my R32, but after reading what I have, I am not too thrilled on even my own choice.


This is a good read on IM design.

**edit**

OK I have to admit being a VW guy, I haven't looked at S4's too much. I just looked up the stock intake manifold and feel kinda silly now about the square shape. I still don't think it is the best design though.

[GURUMAN]

Intercooler Time...

Precision again FTW

[TweetsS4Estate]

SICK! looks awesom Guru! I hope you plan on running some better tires though

[GURUMAN]

Those are pirelli corsa dot race tires, but ya I'm in a trade in at local shop for 245/45R17 drag radials

[nthusiastt]

They look like 215's ... When is this thing gonna run man?

[GURUMAN]

should run in march, there's a few upgrades forecasted for the chassis.

[TweetsS4Estate]

Awesome! Ya I knew you'd be doIn drag radials. Good stuff!

[GURUMAN]

Hope you have a "danger to manifold" light on that car.

and blow the welds off ! lol

[DiscoPotato]

So you are routing the charge pipe from the turbo under the intake manifold?

ya , clean and simple

[jaychen]

Wow, you must be throwing some serious dollars at this thing. Nice house BTW as well.

[salvaged]

I'd really like to see a pic of that with the hood down to get an idea of how the lines flow.

[TweetsS4Estate]

No your light weight diamond plated floor boards would fall off QUOTE=GURUMAN;7257873]and blow the welds off ! lol[/QUOTE]

where did you get that front bumper? i've been looking, but can't find it anywhere. (i'm hoping to get my hands on a stgIII with jhm fmic)

Was custom made localy by a random body guy... Was a cheap fiberglass Rs4 replica modified to my specs...

[GURUMAN]

getting closer, charge pipe is done...

[39NAS-T]

Benny baby its hunnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[whaap1]

very nice work....

[DiscoPotato]

ya , clean and simple

I like it.

[nthusiastt]

wazzzzuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Grayv3]

love the bumber but hate how reiger made the little kick out on the side under the shark fins

[GURUMAN]

This car is gonna be so bad ...

[JDM EJ1 95]

nice.. cant wait to see results

[force fed]

Absolute monster

[99ebpsi24]

This car is gonna be so bad ...

Now that is how all of our engine bays should have came from the factory!!

Looking great as usual, I'm anxiously awaiting the final results of this car!

[NYCVR6]

Wooooooooo!!! Looks crazy dude.. Where is that cutout going to dump to, is it going to turn up? It might be dangerous for flames to be shooting out of that sucker when you hit the two step, shift, or let off the throttle fast.. I can't wait to see this thing haul ass..

, this guy will have a surprise...

[NYCVR6]

LOL.. Who's car is that? Looks unimpressive...

I see the pictures a couple pages back with the 45 angle off of that cutout.. That's going to be bananas.. Burns is making me a 3-4" long aluminum transition that is vbanded.. I will have a 4" aluminum DP back exhaust.. I need to have a muffler for the street class, it could be side exit, but not sure there is much room for that on these cars. I don't see a 4" with just for looks muffler being a restriction anyway.. The true street class rules are very enforced too, Ive seen them measuring turbine wheels at the races. You need 2 front seats, full oem class with functioning windows, oem dash, oem firewall, No meth injection allowed, etc... It's going to be fun though for sure, I hope you come down, your car should pass for that class too.

[S4 00 2.7]

Sick mofo'.

[GURUMAN]

Ya, I understand and will try to follow the street class rules.

In Montreal, there are no rules...


Meth should go on because I cant get E85 local at all... Not in my province at least...

[UkuRiSh]

what kind boost are you planning run GURUMAN ?

can't wait to see this beast in action :)

35-37psi would be a sweeeet spot for that turbo. 40 would be amazing from it, intoxicating sound. Dom, you upgrade to the 66 cea turbine wheel?
You think about wrapping that pipe under the manifold, or at least sending it to calico, jet hot, or swain for sine nice coating? Calico is nice, it's black, and their turnaround is a couple days.

[TweetsS4Estate]

did you go with a straight cut gear Trans Dom?

[nJoy]

I love how you still kept it all symmetrical.

[GURUMAN]

did you go with a straight cut gear Trans Dom?

Now is not a good moment, I have no clue what my powerband will be.

I'm planning for a full 4 speed dogbox with custom gearing and a 5th tall stock gear.


Since I have extensive worrk on the induction side, my powerband me be affected, I can rev it up on paper and still make power over 8k, i guess after all the tuning done, Ill calculate the ration i need.

[obijohn22]

This car is so sick. I can't wait for the results Dom, keep it up!
