sorry for the delay in the pics, folks. Been a very busy week. Anyway, here are some of the pics of the completed fab work. =)

We've just finished the fuel upgrades and we're installing the new OS Giken Twin Plate and prepping her for the dyno!

I noticed the same thing... after dealing my the extreme temps of my downpipe, that would worry me. It looks like that coupler might be a little too close for comfort as well.

I have a feeling S&R will deal with this... they have some time to perfect it yet...
I don't seem them being shady like other companies we know ryan

I highly doubt they are going to make some drastic changes to the routing.

You are going to get some funky IAT inconsistencies with the piping run by the hot side, even with a blanket.

Red__Zed · 05-21-2012, 04:07 PM

Marti, any reason for keeping the dual TB setup? I'm concerned by the intake piping running over the hot side.

Also, is it just me or is the cold side piping not on, and in need of changing before it will fit? Could just be the fact that I'm on a phone....

Lookin' beast so far man, can't wait till it's done!

As others mentioned, that silicon coupler is sitting really close to the hotside. I don't think that setup will last. And I wouldn't want my charge pipe going to the passenger TB getting superheated by the downpipe either. I hope it all works out for you, but I would ask some questions before taking delivery.

This isn't some experiment nor the first or even 3rd that we've built. We take all of the necessary precautions and you have to keep in mind that this is still yet to have the finish work done. All of our local builds have been issue free in Florida weather and heat with the precautions that we take.

Once it's done, you will all see the finished product.

Isamu · 05-22-2012, 01:09 AM

questions have been asked. and answers will be delivered

Marti@S&R · 05-23-2012, 01:18 PM

parts are back off of the car for thermal wrap.
