Ok, now it was time to get the manifold moched up and mounted.
This was one of the prototypes and the one we ended up using. Talk about some ******* tight space!
Pretty much all done here.
And there it is all done and mounted. Turbo installed as well. Fits under the hood as well with plenty of room.
Another shot of everything mounted. Dont mind all the junk piled on the car... it was a long day lol Still have to run the crossover from the other manifold to this side underneath the manifold. Also gotta fit that big turbosmart 60mm wastegate in there. Tomorrows project!
I cut a little of the front bumper out behind the removable filler plate. Trying to decide if i should cut that whole section out or buy the $250 ram Cf ram air plate. What do you guys think?
Catch can is done! Is it a bit much? Maaaaybe lol but i love it!
Finished relocating my PCM. Messing with that wiring was a PITA... Made a little bracket for.mounting it to the firewall and then added a DEI 2000° heatshield blanket to keep it cool.
Crossover is completely done now. I started making the downpipe but got super tired so it will get finished tomorrow. The wastegate will also be done tomorrow.
Wrapped the crossover in some titainium wrap. This is NOT the downpipe lol it just happens to be sittinf there. The kit should be done tomorrow! Then we willnjuat have little stuff to do.
In for updates. Building a similar set up with a procharger. I was hoping to shoot for closer to 600whp. Wasnt too sure the stock bottom end would hold much more.
I've never owned a c5 so I have no clue but would there be enough room for a downpipe like that out the driver's side as well? Obviously not a 5" dp but maybe like a 3"?
Downpipe done. Just need to add my o2 sensor bungs to the hot side and ad the wastegate tomorrow and she will prwtty much be all done minus the small stuff. Sorry foe the lack of pics tonight guys. Ill have alot more tomorrow
