Is my brain playing tricks on me or is the left 2 exhaust pipes slightly larger than the right 2?Also are you painting the rear brembos blue or front ones black? Hope its the latter Must be drinking at work, they are the same. Or I haven't been drinking enough at work and can't see it.Going to leave them black and blue I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "more smoke = more power" issues here. Intake Manifold removed for the FG ConversionWhile this is all out, I will swap the fittings on the surge tank to JIC plus tidy up the harnessing and put some proper clamps in place.There is a decent amount of room once it is just the long block sitting in the engine barWhile I was messing around, figured I would dummy fit the new manifold see if I was going to have any huge issuesOnly issue so far is the coolant line fouling on the manifold, will be an easy fix. Will cut the pipe and put an extension in there.So at this point in time, the car is well apart. While I'm excited with where I am going power wise with the car, after shooting the sh*t with Wiggum last night I'm really looking forward to getting the stereo installed. Will be taking the interior out to sound matt the car, but at the moment that is low down on the "to do" car list.Probably would get more done, if Tocchi's pit crew were actually helpful 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the theory behind using a FG arrangement over say something more specific to the B series? Considered the pros & cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboknapp Donating Members 783 Member For: 17y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: perth w.a Posted 03/01/16 12:43 PM Author Share Posted 03/01/16 12:43 PM FG Manifold flows just as good as any after market B series plenum, I'm not going for a horsepower hero I just want to max out the GTX. With that in mind, getting a brand new FG manifold is approx 1/4 the price of a PW or Plazmaman Plenum. Add in the cost of the a few custom intake pipes, it is still under half the cost. After seeing some of the results FG's were getting with the factory manifold, I thought why not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
