Zack had a pretty awesome idea for the crossmember!

 

nice I like that. I would like to take mine out one day and replace it with something similar. I should have just put mine up and had a wire tuck and all that done while it is down as well. No garage though...

 

Yup, having it removable will make everything that much easier when putting it back together.

 

Is that Pang's S3 intercooler that you modified to be dual backdoor? Looks really nice

 

Did you get the brace for the manifold from kings? I am reading a lot of people cracking the V2 manifold which is starting to worry me.

 

Thanks! Pang from Pfab offers this intercooler the way you see it. Nothing was modified after I received it from him

No I haven't even though about that. I bought this manifold used, and the first runner cracked along the flange against the head but was repaired. I could probably see what it would take to brace it if needed, the area between the manifold and the motor is TIGHT and is gonna have a LOT of hoses and a dump tube moving through it.

 

they have a kit that you can weld on. I was planning to get it and do it. Is that AJs old manifold? I think I have the newer one. Mine is stupid heavy and seems to be higher gauge piping than the older ones. I contacted them once and they told me that they started using sch40 on the newer ones. The manifold brace they sell welds by the wastegate flange and braces to the timing chain cover.

 

I bought it from Jeremy at Elevated, who had the stock block record set on his nfr ap1. I have his inlinepro cylinder head as well

 

Oh wow. What was the record? Nice man.

 

823whp or something like that
