make your own?
really bad picture but, we made this out of some aluminum flashing left over from work my dad did on the house we used to live in. did cost me anything but a few hours of measuring and cutting.

Do you have something for under the engine, like the splash guard? I need a new one of those. The ducting for the rad I plan on doing my self.

i acutally have an unmolested undertray in centreville. i think.

jtpaintballwdp 04-23-2012 12:58 PM

Ill take it, even if its slightly molested. I need to get something under there. LMK and I'll send some dollars your way.

That is if you actually have it, and want to get rid of it.

MF-Brain 04-23-2012 01:26 PM

ill have to ask my dad to look for it. you can pick it up from him if it's there.

jtpaintballwdp 05-04-2012 12:56 PM

Scott, did you ever get in touch with your dad?


Completely different thought.

So lately I have been wanting to build a NA 1.8... I don't know why.

jtpaintballwdp 05-10-2012 12:15 PM

Sent an email to Abe of ARTech with what I think is my final decision for my manifold and Down pipe. Decided to go with a T3 similar to Scott's. With a log manifold and 3" v-band downpipe.

Was going to go "ABUSRDflow": style, but with everything I have going on right now, I just cant swing it.

jtpaintballwdp 05-11-2012 06:46 AM

Here is my list from ARTech.

Log Manifold
3" Down Pipe
Oil Feed and Oil Drain lines
Test pipe so I can bolt my factory exhaust to the ARTech Down pipe, because I'm a cheap ass and have to wait to get my exhaust made.

Now I need:

FMIC
1.8 Diff
ID1000s
BOV

MF-Brain 05-11-2012 08:24 AM

are the smaller IDs any cheaper? there's no reason you need 1000s. espeically on a stock motor. like if 725ccwere cheaper, I'd go for them.

edit: n/m looks like they are the same cost.


regardless, I might still go for 725s. Were are talking the difference of supporting around 400BHP vs. 550BHP. The smaller ones will still be that much easier to control...and considering you're still onyl on ms2, which doesn't have quite to resolution the ms3 does.
