Crazy inlet manifold done! 1.8t powered mr2.
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
Finally finished the crazy big inlet manifold. Some won't like the design. But it has a good chance of evenly distributing the airflow to each runner, in my thoughts anyway. Oh and it's interesting to hear all the lag comments on my other platforms. Some people have very polarized views on the subject. bbbrad_profilecard/?igsh=MXBpbm01bTFicjFnNQ Mr2swap mr2 "inlet manifold" holse...

Dont mind what people say! You're doing a great job.
Cheers for the update from paradise land, looking forward to seeing it rip 👍🏽 thanks for sharing
Stoked to see this project come together. Love that 50 series Holset 🙌
90% of people dont know what they're chatting! It'll have the same ""lag"" as other, shorter installs 🎉 Love your work mate
Stunning work man, that exhaust is gonna breathe 🔥🔥🔥Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽
Looks great
Looks mad ! Keep it up
You might have a little boost leak there.
Might almost act like ir system, neat idea to try. I wonder if a bit of a defuser around the inlet maybe in the form of a course screen would help any uneveness if that even is a concern. sure looks like it will work
Nice 👌 that might be VERY LOUD 😮
Great stuff, especially the "ringed" exhaust to turbo coupler. 🧠 Smart thinking 🤔 NOS sign on intake? 🤣
You should run with the propane vibes and tack weld the valve and valve guard collar on one end of it. Really confuse people haha. If you put an actual threaded bung on one end you could make the valve a functional pressure gauge too.
Air Pig (portable air tank) intake lol
should work great with the turbo and injectors
That’s badass dude, nice job 🤟🏼
Love it as ever.
Another day in paradise ! really nice progress on the exhaust 👍🏽 thank you for sharing.
Turbos are the best performance muffler you can get 😁 , I'm pretty confident you will be OK for loudness . On the intake, I like it , sure its not the best way to do it for HP , but I don't think loosing a few potential HP in this build is going to be a problem . I'm looking forward to seeing it done , and as said below or above 🤔😆 you do you , it's your project , if they don't like it , they can bugger off and do their own
@webstergough3379 thanks mate I appreciate the support. Yah the intake drama, quite polarizing for sure. I mean I just copied a cosworth manifold and people freak. All fun. Cheers
Just do what you do bud. Great content and keep the passion alive 🤘🤘
I genuinely love the intake and the angle cut on the exhaust ❤ that thing is going to sound mad as hell on full song !
Love it! Keep at it!
Air, like water, doesn't like changing direction or dramatic changes in area. At least you can cut the top, bottom and sides off when you want something nearing the correct shape and volume.
@jdoe9518 yup I hear ya. I just copied a manifold I found on the net that cosworth made for one of their turbo engines in the 80's. You'd think they'd know what they're doing?
@@g-mech1244 That was a dyno only plenum for testing a de-stroked BDA for suitability in F1. That engine and plenum was to suit up to 11,000 rpm and 4 bar of boost. And since they know what they're doing maybe look at the manifold used in the RS200 running a BDT-E 1800cc engine
@jdoe9518 no it wasn't that engine sorry.
@@g-mech1244 They only fitted turbos to 2 four cylinder and 1 V6. The YB Cosworth that was in the Sierra will support 680hp with a plenum 1/4 the size of what you have. Your end runners will not receive the same amount of air as the centre two because there nothing direct it there. Anyway cool story bro
@jdoe9518 Yup, the v6 was the one. Quite a large spherical plenum feeding 750cc worth of capacity. Yup and like I mentioned in the video, "my plenum is probably too big, but it's what I had lying around". Without a flow bench, an engine dyno and a cfd program, everyone is just guessing, including you, and including me. That's the story. Cheers
😮🔥
Dont forget you still have to make Vacuum under extreme driving you may run out of brakes
He has a vacuum port on intake for brake booster
@@bobbyyurk6483 I know this but it will only make vacuum on closed throttle its very big plenum so would take some time to vac as it cant make vac on boost or part throttle
i thought that was a catch tank
Does that throttle use an infinity q45t tps? I have a 70mil that looks exactly like that laying on my shelf right now and wondered how well it works
Eh ? ? The way thats going I would have tried to fit a condenser in that manifold
@@octymocty132 have you seen my intercooler?
What material is the stock manifold made from? How weldable is it?
@@muziq_maniak cast aluminum. Cleaned it up and welded nice.
Hey this is going to rival K swap Vw 1.8 t Vw ABF engine VW VR6 They don't play around and in a Mr2 this will be a devil in sheep clothing Once set up for drag racing
Good stuff! You wouldn't happen to know anyone who could do a quickie computerized flow analysis on it would you? I feel like I would have probably squeezed the inlet charge down to a much narrower slot where it enters the cylindrical plenum, but I can definitely imagine advantages of doing it how you did...
Yup I hear ya. I thought of that but chickened out. Kind of like the twin plenum rally manifolds, but center entry.
@@g-mech1244 Exactly! But my guess would be that the massive change in volume in your design will disrupt and slow the flow velocity sufficiently that it should make for pretty good distribution. Pretty much what you're thinking? At any rate, it's exciting, and I appreciate you sharing your adventure!
Nice
Kegledon is back. Looks cooler
It looks good . There’s room for a charge cooler core in the nice plenum for a compact setup . 😊
Great work bud. Keep up the good work. Im enjoying the update details.
Looks don't matter mate, I think your theory is sound and if its a near equal spread to each runner thats the main aim , I also think it looks rad AF nice bit of fab work tbh
Very cool curious to see her in action
Looks awesome! Well done
"another day in 'successful' paradise" 😎 Stunning fab work 👍🏽 thanks for sharing.
Subbed, found you through STAV, great channel
Me too 😆😆😆
Looks to be an interesting custom job to get the intercooler piping to the throttle body. Can't wait to see the result.
Thanks for the comment. Yup they'll be straightened out somewhat, minimal bends.
Spot on mate, great work
What power levels are you trying to get out of this 1.8? Also curious if your using an AEB head or a small port? Variable valve timing? Im trying to save for a gtx2867r build on my vw 337. I have a b5 a4 quattro as well. That garret turbo is my dream for the 1.8t same compressor size as a ko3 but can handle 800hp
Nice design...
why make the plenum that big?
Usually for less lag, thus the engine can consume the plenum volume for a second before its now restricted by the throttle I guess. I'm sure there's some fluid dynamics and resonances at play too.
@@DAI.H4RD thats really not how it works a big plenum has pretty much zero effect in a efi manifold and the consuming the plenum volume? yeah thats just nonsense
A rule of thumb, but it depends on application, is that you want the plenum volume 1.5 to 2 times the engine capacity
@@futten3230it does have an effect on efi thats why v10 f1 engines had 20 liter plenums or something. What he said about consuming air is right but it mostly applies to NA cars. But a large plenum for turbo cars is never a bad thing
@@km6832 ua-cam.com/video/I9QChpSGfD0/v-deo.html
6g74 if the timing belt broken the valves problem ?
@@Respect-yc1pv yes
Haha this is brilliant! I filmed a video a few days ago talking about inlet manifolds on these, I'll publish it when I got time, and I mention yours as you'd posted the pic of the cut up standard one, and what I said in the video was my prediction, the trumpets being in the plenum rather than flush with the back wall like so many, and even the ideal sort of throttle placement and why, and you've literally done exactly what I said/hoped in the video. Nice work! I'll probably post that video sunday/monday if i got time to Edit it by then.
@@StavTech Great minds think alike, haha.
@@g-mech1244 We’ve always had remarkably similar ideas when it comes to building these cars, and Thomas said the same thing. 👏
Nice progress, love the safety boots 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing.
Nice work.
Do you have a video or videos on how you decided to use a 1.8T, and how you adapted it to the transaxle or if you used a VW transaxle or something?
Ive learned a while ago to size the runner to the power...not to what the head port is. My current theory is 90 gross HP per square inch of manifold runner area. Which on my car dictated 1" diameter runners. It felt so weird and wrong. But gotta keep the gases hot and fast to expand thru the turbine not before it. My "micro-tube" manifold has been treating me very well and I have awesome response and torque to the point where I have to deliberately numb my boost control curve to keep the rods in 😂
Well the gasses will move faster through a smaller orifice so thats why you have great response. Hopefully you are monitoring the back pressure
Rematched the vid can hear you mentioned the guys in England im guessing thats stav your on aboutniv been following them for years and they have got this down to a weekend job with there kits cant wait to get saved up for my own mr2 and buy there kit they do the driveshafts mounting subframes the lot cant wait. Looking forward to seeing you finish yours and enjoy it.
