I suppose having a custom job such as this is more satisfying than just buying a ST kit
Respect for the amount of time & money you've put into space grey

Thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words. RHD have the steering column in the way so everything has to be custom made. Very few aftermarket ST bits available in Australia for ST conversions (unfortunately)

Wow...

can't wait to see it in person!

All good mate

Looking good socks! told you my DP wouldn't come close haha.

I'm really excited to see what the EFR will do. my only concern (probably not an issue for your goal) is exhaust flow. internal wastegate means you have all the gas going in the dump pipe under full noise. Have done turbo LS setups that hit a wall at 750hp with plumb back wastegate, soon as gate vents to atmo up to 900hp.

but for a realistic goal such as yours, probably wont be an issue.

I really wish we could have american kits that fit, wouldn't life be simpler then!

Yep was hoping to use the top half but not to be lol. Not aiming to push the limits like ur builds mate, doubt we will be anywhere near 750 hp. I'm hanging to see how responsive the 7670s are in terms of turbo lag. Hell im hanging to just get it back on the road haha

Made quick and easy exhaust pipe

Just a temporary solution to get the car driveable, this section will be replaced by a 3"->2.25" exhaust section with a flex joint. Will get an exhaust shop to do that, with my limited skills in exhaust fabrication our time will be better spent getting the car working.

Will be hilarious driving around with this setup

R32GOJIRA · 07-02-2017, 07:56 PM

Need vids of it running with this!!!!

RJ019 · 07-03-2017, 01:38 AM

Great work guys coming along well now! Vince's downpipe work looks great tacked up will you be getting an exhaust shop to finish off welding? Looks like the down pipe has plenty of space to clear the steering column. Is this due to Ducks awesome manifold? Exciting times ahead

RAT7ER · 07-03-2017, 04:08 AM

Good to see the work being done in an approved workshop! Keep up the good work fellas!

Mod 87 - EOS Intake Manifold

Will need more fuel soon, so we installed this EOS PI ready intake manifold.
Been wanting one of these since they first came out

We wont hook up the PI until the ST is properly dialled in, until then it will function as a standard intake manifold, only cleaner and more awesome

Pics below

Aus335iguy, i don't wanna be the brown eyed mullet in the swimming pool but you do know the turbos on a n54 are Japanese & made my Mitsubishi right?

Dude. Ask yourself why it's in my sig. It's got nothing really to do with the country of manufacture. Thanks for trying to educate people though. I'm aware as are many others that the car isn't completely built in Germany and I don't care. Sorry for the tangent Socket
