That is all sorts of bad ass. I can't wait to see the next dyno plot.

When will you be making those for b34 heads to sell? :alright:

If your not thinking of building some for resale, can you try to think of it?

This guy used a 666 mani just like that on a stock m20.
Looks like it has a cam or something. You know how high rpm power completely dies on these engines normally.

I wonder if the m30 is more restrictive then the m20 though.

Should be an improvement over a stock manifold, guess we will have to see. As far as making more of them, I would wait to see the results.
Had to reconfigure the thermostat housing to make it fit. Engine bay is filthy from sitting so long.

I like the Tial products in black. Which TB did you use?

Those short runner manifolds are something else. I always wanted to try one but never made the step.

Assuming that dyno is an M20B25 with the short runner manifold, its missing a lot of midrange. The stock manifold is good for that, but sometimes you get a little more peak cylinder pressure than it can handle. Mine was making 380 rwtq from 4000 past 5000 RPM, with peak power of 384 rwhp at around 6400. I don't know if the short runner manifold at the same boost pressure would have made the car faster or not.

Good Shit Otis

Always great to see your improvements. Remember when I first saw you putting in work with that m10 and didn't do any real welding or anything. Now look at you.

Good show bro

I have only one question. 5 1/2+ years later, are you really still a noob? ;)

Looks great, Otis, I hope it performs to your expectations.

Alright had a few hours to play today. Pulled out the old tranny and got the C4 under the car.

Old twin disc setup next to the torque converter. That pilot bearing puller tools works like a dream.

Image

Reverse pattern shifter, awkward moment putting it in but it's needed.
Image

Here it is strapped down to the tranny jack. Couldn't imagine installing the tranny without it.
Image

Here's a side by side next to the 5 speed, the C4 is similar in weight.

Would you consider selling the twin plate setup?

Posted: Jul 09, 2013 6:54 PM

Twin plate not for sale, yet. It's coming together....

Ok, trans is in, cooler mounted.
Picked up the drive shaft today.

Trans cooler mounted were gas tank was.
Image

Rear diff flange adapter to spicer 1310 U joint.
Image

Ended up going with a billet trans yoke that had removable caps in order to install the driveshaft easily. It also has the beefier 1350 Ujoint. Drive shaft custom made with .083 thick, 3" tubing.
Image

Image

It's getting there, in the process of fabbing up the transmission mount.....
