Builds 80 series where to start! Again....

They even CNC the intercooler end tanks. Which if you have a big thick intercooler is a huge amount of waste to hollow out! Like I was thinking of a 25" long by 4.5" thick intercooler so you would be looking at probably a 27" x 5" x 5" block of aluminum!!

Did you get an eta on the rest of the intake?
It looks like two stampings welded together, or maybe 2 pieces pressure cast? Either way a whole different process than the other parts, wonder if they do 100 percent in house? Pretty specialized

 

[dogfishlake]

That's so cool. Looks like a piece of artwork, which it pretty much is! Art in motion. I bet they cry when scrap aluminum prices drop!

 

[scottryana]

Thanks Beno, it's been a long process and there is still so much to go. Can you believe I expected to have this all together in 8-9 months. Haha! I knew I was going to be working outside the box and having custom parts made but never did I think a 1 month wait would turn into 17 months! Lol

Holy crap Ryan!!! Wow.

 

[scottryana]

Dummy for test fit mocked up. This will force me to clean up a bunch of things under the stock manifold and relocate the power steering reservoir but a lot of the stuff under the stock manifold shouldn't be there anyways! Lol


Since this is a dummy we can still change the angle and location of the throttle body. This looks pretty good to me but any other opinions?

 

[cruisermatt]

How concerned are you about possibly running comparatively lean on 1-3? Or are you going to be ale to take that out in the tune?

 

[scottryana]

Lean on 1-3 because of the shape? Usually it is pretty well planned with the shape of the plenum, being larger at the front keeping pressures lower so air speed into the cylinder is less meaning about the same air into the cylinder at both ends. I have seen several finite analysis done on similar plenums, but this one was not done. I am not overly concerned with it. The standalones do have individual cylinder fuel trims, but I am not sure I will put an AFR port in each cylinder runner of the exhaust manifold to check them. I suppose I could drill each and put a bung in and just move the AFR sensor around while running and plug the rest and after the tune move the AFR sensor to the downpipe. That really is the best way to do it. AFR sensors just don't last long before the turbo and it will be a lot of work to tune. Lol

 

[dogfishlake]

I only know from other intakes on inlines I've seen, but that does seem like the standard shape. It wont give you instant analysis, but you can just read plugs after a bit of running too can't you?

 

[dogfishlake]

Another bonus of not going over the top, easy plug access!

Looks really good! Dual injectors still in the plans?

Just playing devil's advocate, I'm sure the intake was designed properly, it better be because it looks expensive

 

[scottryana]

No I don't think I will need dual injectors. I should be able to get good results with ID1700's. Even on E85, the ID1700's should be able to supply enough fuel for just under 1350hp, which is much more than I will make. I should be able to run E99 to about 1100hp, which will max this turbo out.

[Qball]

OMG!

 

[scottryana]

When you're trying to stick to a Japanese Hotrod theme and a box of new parts shows up and you have no idea how to read Japanese..... lol

 

[scottryana]

Seats, harnesses, mounts and steering adapters and wheel are finally here.

*Yes I know the Nardi wheel is kind of a stretch for Japanese, but Nardi is super popular in the JDM scene. lol.

 

[axolotl81]

Don't worry, its just the horn button wiring diagram for the steering wheel hub. LOL

Love those Japanese Brides...you know what I mean, the seats are badass.

 

[scottryana]

Yeah pics don't do them justice, the carbon fiber is awesome. Love the suede cover with the Bride Japan embroidery. I am using the Planted Tech, side aluminum side mounts and seat brackets. They seem to be very high quality as well. Things are not going to be as uniform as I wanted i.e. green harnesses, red stitching on the steering wheel, polished wheel, silver aluminum side mounts, etc. But it is all very techie/geeky stuff so kind of cool details to look at.

[axolotl81]

After this you might be able to get your 80 in one of those HyperRev magazines out in Japan. Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[scottryana]

Good intentions gone wrong.

Evasive Motorsports who I buy all my Japan import stuff through sent me a note in this last box telling me thank you for my business and that they upgraded my steering wheel from matte black to polished aluminum, about a $100 option for free.

Ummmm thanks? But I think I want my matte black instead. Lol.

 

[dogfishlake]

Hey Ryan, what did you have the body shop do with your door handles? I see them off in the primer/surfacer step. Were they able to remove the gaskets and then reuse them after separately painting the handles? I remember a post from cdan saying the colored handle and gasket were an assembly from mr t, so I just wondered how the paint shop approached painting yours.
Not much of the gasket can be seen but it is in such a noticable spot. Another good thing about a black truck, kind of makes the black gasket disappear.

 

[2KCruiser]

Next time give me a ring Ryan when you need parts. Where's the love???
Love the Nardi's, here's a pic of my wheel in my SC.
