Well, the first manifold has been completed. We will make a jig and fabricate the second one next. IC's are finishing up, so we'll be ready to make the IC piping soon. E-Manage is installed (thanks to Scalbert's awesome PnP harness - thanks Steve! ).

Next step is to install the 370cc squirters and tune a base-line map for NA.

This kit is a significant improvement over the previous kit - in terms of design and aesthetics. Both are of good quality, but this improves flow significantly (3" to 2.75" downpipe all the way to the cat!). The turbo is the biggest difference. The previous one had its maximum output at 5400 RPM; we all know that this motor makes a good 20% more power from 5400 - 7200 RPM - which is what this system will realize.

lookin good, who is building the actual manifold? You?

 

 

No... I can't weld cleanly

 

now if u can somehow get that 2 work on the 04tls then hMMMM.....

 

The exhaust manifolds are sooo different on the 04's. It is do-able, but different kind of design entireley.

 

i know...fucking pisses me off!


anyways...how soon till u get the car on the road w/the full turbo kit? how long will it take 2 get it tuned rite?

 

Schweet!

Looks like the wife needs to get a job so she can buy me one!

Ruf

 

how much would one cost?

 

The current kit uses a GT35R ball-bearing turbo, the E-manage, upgraded injectors and 100% stainless-steel... so cost would be about $6500 for a complete kit.

A downgraded version using a different turbo and only a FMU running at most 6psi would be just under $5K.

 

will the design/performance stats be the same for us 5MT Tl-S's?

 

good job Ramanan!

 

yahoo sux lol

 

that is sweet as hell man, remeber once installed we all need some videos

LOL WTF is 5mt TLS?

Looks Niceee... allmotor, u should help me working my on g35 some times

 

That is awesome Ramanan,

I am so excited about seeing this thing hit the pavement.

 

Hrmm, race full + 9 to 10 PSI boost = 450 WHP

 

OMFG.. 450 WHP...

how much at the crank? how bad is the turbo lag... wow i want one!

 

there go my new shorts.

 

cant wait to see allmotors car in action.

 

Phew.. Glad I'm not alone.

 

Remember there will be TWO identical kits - Bluecls6's as well

It has the potential for 450whp with 100-octane, we shall see. That would be (given a modest 15% drivetrain loss) ~530hp at the crank. I'll be happy with 500 crank hp There are other issues to consider at this output level, so beyond the basic motor blowing up, I have to consider those as well.

On my setup, I have one of those QuikTime Electric Cutouts (you might notice the flange near the flex-pipe). It should offer the extra surge if I happen upon an Italian-type exotic.

 

This won't fit on the auto's. And I wouldn't recommend 350 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels on the auto-tranny either!!

 

very impressive

 

350 ft lbs of tourque, that is a monster!!!!!!!!

 

do you think the car is capable of htting a 1/4 in under 12.5 ?

 

Theres nothing like the sound of a turbo or supercharger!

 

If it makes 400+whp, then with slicks and some suspension work, it will hit mid 11's.

My last setup would have hit mid 12's on slicks (~350whp).

 

props for taking on another project allmotor, cant wait till its all done and ya get some vidz and track #'s

 

Amazing what a little FI can do.

Can't wait to hear how she performs once everything is up and running.

 

Question: This is for the 6-speed? You think it would hit 12's with just the turbo, or is that including headers/exaust/cai/suspension/ etc. etc? Just curious. Can you have a supercharger AND a turbo on at the same time, or does tis take the place of the S/C??

 

Hell of a job by the way.

 

rofl... go look at an engine some time.

 

This is currently only for the 6-Speed. allmotor_2000 hit 12's before with his previous turbo kit which this one is much better. It does require all additional items such as the headers.

Yes, you can have both an SC and a turbo. It is not practically or economical but can and has been done. In this case he is just installing a turbo.

 

Only for six speed... if they can make it for the auto without our granny transmission going down...

do you guys think an autoversion will be available?

 

With 5AT upgrades it could be done. But knowing this crowd it may not be worthwhile investment.

 

which companies make a better AT for the CL? next time my tranny dies im either gonna trade it in or get a non-honda tranny... i'll sell out and get a goddamn G35

 

routing the wastegate back into the exhaust?

 

Oh yeah... I don't want that all loud and obnoxious. In any case, I have an electric cutout on the downpipe for those 'special occasions'

 

For this kit, the Comptech headers are necessary (at least the upper portion) - but you can have a turbo-kit with the stock headers.
