Crazy inlet manifold done! 1.8t powered mr2.
Переглядів 6 тис.3 місяці 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...

Great progress, great to see an update on this projects. Gearshift looks very high.
If you wanted to, you could turn a single pipe into dual pipes without compromising flow by dividing the diameter by the square root of 2. Or you could turn it into three pipes with the square root of 3. So for equal flow to 4" you can do twin 2.75" or triple 2.25" and any of those (as well as the base 4 inch) should be good for around 660 crank HP with truly zero restriction. If you bumped it up to 4.25" you could do dual 3" or triple 2.5" and that would be good for 740 crank hp with zero restriction. If you want I could also give you the formula for ballpark HP flow of exhaust pipe based on CFM to diameter ratio.
1-4 and 2-3 pairs for twin scroll (and for N/A, too) is actually the correct way to do it as far as my research has led me to believe. Love seeing a long tube turbo manifold, so many seemingly fail to learn about these. Bout the only thing you could do to improve this design outside of materials (321 stainless, 2mm wall) would be to make the primaries and secondaries have stepped diameters for even more anti-reversion. No doubt, being long tube is already a huge benefit to lowering pre-turbine back pressure and improving your EBP to Boost ratio, but anti-reversion mods to the exhaust ports and manifold also help, and all the small things add up across an entire build.
Do you know anything about the factory cluster revving beyond 8k? Im thinking about trying a new stepper motor but maybe u alreay know
I'm surprised you didn't make a removable hatch on the intake manifold. Had you considered adding directional vanes inside the manifold? They'd be similar to turning vanes in a piece of air duct but to help spread the intake air towards the outer runners.
❤🔥
Thanks! It’s really great to see how this operates. This has always been my dream setup. You mentioned how hard these engines are to find. Do you have any tips on where to start looking? Short of flying to Japan. I had big plans like this build when I was younger but had no funds. Now I have the funds, hopefully the parts are still available. I already have a jdm pajero 3.5 that was not easy to find. Thanks, great build!
add to the list “undo hood gills” other than that…. top notch. successful start. sounds real good too
@@reedjacksonmaccom un do hood gills. Why's that?
the hood purity. you don’t have. to. just one vidiots idea. carry on 🫡
@reedjacksonmaccom all good, I'm a function over form guy. That's a fully sealed, ducted vee mounted front mounted intercooler setup.
I have run the Spec mini twin on my 1.8t and Clutch Masters 7 series twin disc, both the street and race versions. They all rattle. The CM unit is much quieter than the Spec unit. Your's sounds just fine.
I'm sure you figured it out by now, but I had my 1.8t running on microsquirt a few years back and had to use the trigger offset of 78⁰. Love the progress. Just got myself a tig welder and have been learning so I can do custom stuff like your manifolds and brackets. Glad you got it running!
Cool project dude. When do you expect the turbo to start coming up on boost?
I'm not sure, it may not. It's too big. I've done everything possible to try help it spool. Time will tell.
@@g-mech1244 What have you done to help boost threshold? I think this will spool in a reasonably time because all hx40s spool pretty early
@aleksisalenius5103 have a look at my manifold video. Basically I've made a long skinny, match ported, twin scroll, equal length, wrapped manifold. With a large diameter free flowing exhaust.
@aleksisalenius5103 also I've got all the vvt gear to go into the non vvt head. That's supposed to bring down the threshold 300rpm or more.
@@g-mech1244 Looking forward to Dyno or road logs
It lives 😈 another MR2 monster on the scene !!! MWAHAHAHAA 👹
Love to see the speeduino! Would love to hear of any difficulties and tips with tuning on a dropbear. Mines going into a 4efe poweded charade.
it's aliveee !!! 💪🏽
If you had narrowed the slot in the plenum until it's the same area as the throttle body opening it would be a dual plenum intake which have great air distribution. Aside from a tiny bit slower throttle response and maybe a few dozen milliseconds longer to reach full boost, there shouldn't be any real disadvantages to having a plenum that large
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
