I had a guy online willing to make me an equal length manifold for a decent price. That fell through...so I struck a deal with another fellow. I am trading my Dsm manifold for a Drag 3 cast log style manifold. This won't help me reach my goals as much. I figured since I am saving money, I will play it safe and forgo my Itr cams and Itr intake manifold. So 400whp may not be in reach....but I am still shooting for 350whp or so....

This will help me get my car on the road ALOT sooner.....which is important...than over time as I build up my funds again, I can do the headwork I wanted to do, swap cams, intake mani and what not....and be right there......

Just thought I would post up my progress.....

Feel free to comment/flame/etc..... 8)

Yea...usually...depending on the quality....drag manifolds are a well known company...@ least in the honda crowd....although they are cheaper....by alot....they don't flow as well as tubular equal length units......thus not letting me meet my goals...but a manifold is easily changed......$$ isn't as easily replaced....so thats where I am @ right now.....I am back in school...and that had to come from somewhere....my car is important...but school is on top...need to finish up....get a real job.....and a real car....lol.....

Besides.....if I have some things to work on....like I mentioned above....it gives me something to look forward too....so I will have my car back on the road alot sooner and hopefully all finished up by early spring.....then pice the rest of the parts together over summer...... 8)

Seems like nobody cares.....oh well...

Anyway...after I get my homework done, I might go down and start messing around with the head. My Hondata/Profab gasket for my intake manifold came today......

Well....lets see....

There is only a few more things and I will be done...

Ok..top of the list....

Is my Turbo...

Second is my wastegate.

Cam gears.

Boost controller

Injectors.

Cutout

Fab my downpipe and what not...I am good to go...

Only a matter of time.

I will be working on my car this weekend...since the roads are gonna be bad....give me something to do..

Hopefully I can get the head and intake mani back on....starting putting things back together......

Wish me luck..... 8)

sounds like things are coming together well, might stop by and check it out sometime this week ( I'm off wed-sun, so I have nothing better to do.)
