WELL BAD NEWS TODAY! the t4 divided flange came in the post this week and ive only gone and made my 2-1 collectors the wrong way round and tacked it all up, so what i thought would be a nearly finished manifold turned out to be junk! well to say iam pissed off is an understatement. so i thought fuck it i'll go and spend another £400 on some proper 2-1 merge collectors and some more mandrel bends etc , so iam now in the process of making version mkII so watch this space and see if i can build it right this time, right going down to the shed with my head hung very low in shame

GOT ALL MY PARTS FROM OJZ ENGINEERING AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS GUY CAN NOT ONLY SUPPLY GOOD BITS BUT WHEN I COLLECTED MY PARTS HE HAD A TERRALL RACE CARS IN THERE AND HIS EXHAUST ARE THE DOGS BOLLOCKS BUT VERY EXPENSIVE AND IS ALSO HELPFUL, BONUS!

ian is a very good mate and iam one of his best customers so iam sure he will look after me as we keep in touch alot , i personally wouldnt let anyone else build me a zetec turbo so would probably sell it or build one myself

zetaboostboy522bhp

cheers lads for the great comments but still got a bit to finish it off. first iam still waiting for the egt sensors and bosses 1 for each cylinder to come from america and got to make some strengthening for each header oh and fit the spring tags for the collector pot

AustenW

You mean like this

zetaboostboy522bhp

hi austen we spoke at the autosport show last year as i was down with ian , fanastic looking engine mate and that inlet cover is just what i need as iam going to use the jenvey bits , how much did that cost you kid if you dont mind me asking

AustenW

Plenum was free as I made it myself.

All other bits are Jenvey

Made a few of these now for other people, PM me for a chat

3i_gaz

looks mega that mate, love it

zetaboostboy522bhp

hoping to start soon but ive gotta finish the exhaust manifold off as ive been waiting for parts for months and also helping some people out on here and building ians last pectel t2 wiring harness , but i will defo be gettin on with it when i know exactly what i want as in terms of design etc

MikeR

Austen when is yours on the road?

Fair play, that looks the nuts

zetaboostboy522bhp

well i was going to get my own design machined out off billet alloy with 8 injectors etc , but had a really good chat with austen about the new jenvey turbo plenum and i must say this looks the dogs bollocks and has been back to back dyno tested so has also got proven air flow. now these aint cheap for the one in the pic below your talking the best part of a £1000+ vat and if you want individual throttle bodies you wont have much change from £2000+vat .so ive decided that iam having one without individual bodies but with 8 injectors. there was no point in designing something it was nearly indentical to what i wanted .
more time to do other things, yeh!

check this badboy out

inlet looks the nutsoh and yeh mate my bay should be pretty decent.most things are new.side fed inlet.pedal box.grs intercooler.alloy rad.hoses,tanks etc etc.turbo over the gearbox should look great plus help me with temp issues with rad spaced back a bit

Some really nice parts in this build, gonna be a weapon.
I have a question about the exhaust though, the metal looks thin.....too thin, especially the 2-1 collectors.
Any gen?

zetaboostboy522bhp

hi mate i have always used 1.5 mm thick 304 stainless and have never had any problems to be honest . my first manifold that i made was used on the engine dyno and was running a good 4-5 hours non stop during mapping with lots of full boost runs 30 psi. that never cracked or had any issues . there is a picture of my first manifold.



and that had a t61 turbo hanging off it which aint the lightest turbo ive ever pick up , oh i forgot it had one of harvey special welding rods to brace it on the dyno ha ha

zetaboostboy522bhp

hi mate that is the top side but the front plate is fully universal so you can have it top mounted left or right or change the back plate so it at the bottom and you can again change the deffuser left or right , fookin brill bit of kit

Thanks for the reply dude.
I'm still a bit.....not convinced,lol. I have a mani for my build from 1.5mm and i'm debating wether or not to put it on as i can't be arsed having to strip it down again after a few hundred mile because of it cracking. I suppose its the supporting that makes the differance and i only have a 35r to hang off it..... decision decisions.

jonnyrsturbo

much awesomeness!

crazycage

im with you on this one i think in a car on the road it will crack !! the engine moves about a bit hard launches gear changes ect ect

zetaboostboy522bhp

hi mate i personally think that if anything was gonna happen it would happen on the dyno that why we run the big bhp engine to make sure every component of the build is ok , but it did certainly get hot thats for sure but 321 stainless at a cost of £80 a metre to 304 which is £10 a metre then i will take that risk. the manifold is not totally finished yet and will have strenghting tags and bracing as well as the turbo hanger so hopfully there wont be that much stress on the manifold
cheers paul

p.s i think the only person i know that uses anything with a thicker walled pipe is nortech and your looking at least £1000+ , 3mm i think

zetaboostboy522bhp

just had another look at the inlet manifold and found out that it is fully o ringed sealed so it will be alot better for high boost applications . iam so happy i havent got to design my own and piss about getting someone decent to machine it

rst-g

hmmmmmmmmmm! Very rude mate
