Forced Induction The last piece of the puzzle: JGS Turbo manifold

The last piece of the puzzle: JGS Turbo manifold

*woot* *woot* My turbo manifold came in today. I've only been trying to get a hold of one forever since Stafford kept dicking me around. It's very well made and looks to be quite strong. All that I need to do is position the flanges, cut a hole, and weld them on. I'll post pictures of all my parts tomorrow since I still don't have any Internet access at the new place.

looks good man, glad to see things are finally coming along. Seems like forever ago when you posted a pic of the T3 next to your head.

woohoo...so whens the install start?

ASAP. Next thing to do is meet with my friend, look over things, and order the aluminum IC piping while gets started welding the flanges to the manifold. I also have to arrange for me to have another car to drive.

damn thats nice

bout damned time!!

yay for getting that in

log style?

rent like a pt cruiser and beat the shit outta it, lol

/\ no, rent a corolla so u can get a final taste of the grocery-getter, then you can better comapare it to the beast youre creating

then beat the hell out of it,

Log style will be the strongest design. Plus, It's going to be really cramped back there, especially with an external wastegate and a 3" downpipe.

Here's the majority of my turbo parts. I just went over the intercooler routing and sizes with the personal doing the install last night. The aluminum piping is gonna really hurt my wallet. I'm looking at around $450 for piping alone unless I can manage to get a discount from the distributer pending on the size of my order. I also have to get a custom 45 degree silicone reducer made, but the total for the silicone connectors should be around $150 and $55 for all the t-bolt clamps. I'll most likely instal the return fuel system and start cutting out the bumper to fit the intercooler while I wait for the other parts I ordered.

Good stuff guys, keep it up!

Vamp, I've got an Innovative LM-1 if you want to get together for some tuning

Cool. I'll end up road tuning it with the PLX and a laptop.

I know you got it looooooong time ago, but I just want to know how much did you get for the celica intake manifold and tb?

I don't even rememeber. I think $125 shipped.

Awesome Derrick. I definately want to see this in person when its all finished.

No problem. As soon as it's completed, just hit me up. Too bad I don't think it'll be ready before Seneca, since it takes 6 to 8 weeks to order black silicone connectors. Speaking of which, ouch on my wallets behalf. Silicone connectors cost me $192.58 shipped and t-bolt clamps ran about $63 shipped. The piping itself is gonna hurt me a lot, coming in at $390.97 before shipping. 2.75" and 3" bends cost a lot.

I am not looking forward to that pain in my ass! However now that I am working as a Tech for Toyota, I will be able to afford it all!

steve when'd you get the job over at toyota?

Yesterday.

ah. i see.

well congrats steve.

Thank you very much! It's been fun so far, and it can only get better. My lunch hour is 1:30 everyday I work, so if you want to grab some grub and chill, hit me up on the cell. Future Toyota Tech...signing out!

which toyota dealership?

Congrats on the Job @ Toyota Steve!

great info/pics vamp!

i am counting the days until i see your corolla in magazines.
