That is a proper cluster!

The craftsmanship and polish is professional - looks straight out of a circuit racer.

Hello ,

I'm still there with the 7agte celi . Here some of my updates from the last years .


I buy a B16/B18 Doc race manifold in blowout sales at a very good price .

http://docrace.com/collections/honda/produ...scroll-manifold

Then I cut it and made it to fit the 4age head .






The quality and complexity is impressive .

I changed also my intercooler . The efficiency is the difference , not the size . The second picture show the difference with bar and plate cheap construction .

My ''amateur'' pie cut downpipe





I add 4 EGT to the manifold , the main reason is because I plan to use individual port water injection , then I can see if something goes wrong on one cylinder .




The pictures are from 2013 so I will update more quickly than the work I made ....

Wow flawless. Why are most turbo down pipes welded like that. I know for cost effective, but is it not practical to mandrel bend one straight pipe?

Probably because mandrel bend are too expensive or hard to get (both my case). Professional pie cut in exhaust or intercooler piping can be a work of art really , especially with titanium $$$$

It was a little tight to bolt the manifold due to space between wastegate and radiator inlet .



Engine bay picture with the new manifold , new turbo and Levin E58 tranny .

Yes , A lot of love to that celi and to the 7a .



I change my Autronic ECU from the SMC to the SM4 model . I really think this is one of the most underated standalone and really enjoy it !



I removed the JDM cas (crank angle sensor) and now use standart honeywell trigger to the the SM4 . Simple, robust and precise tigger are the way to do it . I also had a custom trigger wheel made to bolt over the BHJ harmonic damper. Just one bolt on the cam pulley is magnetic and only 2 tooth on crank trigger wheel wink.gif

I see you already have a carbon fiber hood but maybe a GT-4 hood?

This car should be the next featured ride, great build by a great member, who has always pushed innovation on this site.
Good to see you still around frotou. That is some serious A series pron right there. Do you still have lambo doors?
