here are some pics of my new manifold being born
it is also being swain tech coated. tial vband housing with a t25 (j/k on the turbo)

Cool! My favorate part of turbocharging cars is making custom manifolds

That's awesome work Paul!

Ohh you guys are funny, I'm not welding I'm getting it made by JMF

What are all the bungs for?

One bung is for egt and the others are for the shield to bolt on.

Haha was going to ask the same thing. That thing is purdy!

I like

Looks good, but flange looks thin. Maybe it's just the pictures/angles.

oooooo shiny!!!

here are some pics on the car. now saving for the turbo

Gonna have it at shannonville next year?

I hope so, trying to get into 11s:)

Colour combo looks great Paul.

Yeah agreed the blue and white is a very nice combo.

You migt better get to the track with it.. I believe Jamie holds the fastest dsm at shannonvile at the moment.

Definitely a nice colour combo.

Did you anodize bolts or coat them? Even the VC has blue key type bolts..

Hey Jay, Jamie might be the quickest but i still had few mph on him. To tell you the truth I',m not overly concerned on my times with the car if I was I would build a track/drag car. I just hope the tranny holds up to my new found power. Ohh and we all know that i never push the car as hard on the track as i do on the street.
The bolts are s/s and are powder coated.

i just wanna see this car run! As long as i been racing dsmS.. That car has been in your garage. And yet every V8 fears it at the track.

Very nice looking setup Paul! What turbo are you going to run?

off topic, Shannonville is only 1/8th mile? Damn I was considering a trip out there next year to play with you guys.

Who said that? I've got a stack of 1/4 mile time slips from Shannonville sitting in my car

Direct from their website:

Notice the first part: "Vehicles with a dial time of 9.3 and less run the 1/8 mile to allow for adequate run off/slow down speed."

Followed by:

"Vehicles with a time maximum dial time of 13.0 run the 1/4 mile"

The way they worded it implies that 9.3<Dial Time<=13.0 equates to 1/4 mile...what they really mean to say is anything higher than 9.3 runs 1/4 mile, although personally, I'd not run 1/4 mile there in anything faster than a 10.5s car with GOOD brakes.

Oh I was thinking they meant anything running faster than 13's could only do the 1/8th.

this is me running shannanville. I come close at the end..but I shift into 5th right after the trap and I think that keeps the momentum up. After this run my brakes were almost useless they were so hot.. but yer not reaaly sappost to run the road track right after the drag strip!

Notice Jamie at the end working on his exaust after his 11.04 run









I always say we should all book off the all day weekend at shannanville for a huge dsm meet!

Altho back to topic... This is the car feared at Shannonville! Normally seen taking on faster cars!

here is a better picture Jay.

Paul do you know what she weighs?

What has this car run? I always hear about it and I only have ever seen your green 2G.

Is that a CryO2 intercooler sprayer tucked in there?

that sprayer isnt even a big deal compared to the rest of the car.. I only heard about this car untill I saw it in person. Its NOT your typical DSM.

How much HP you runnin?

That's cool, I had never heard of something like that.
I wonder if anyone has incorporated something similar in a water to air setup, it would definitely help with the heat soaking issues.

EDIT: Scratch that idea, turns out people have researched that and it's not as practical as it is on an air to air setup

I have since eliminated the co2 sprayer as it didn't do much.
My best to date mph was 135.2mph at about 35psi and a very soft launch. the car sits at 3250lb with me in it. So according to the hp calculator that's about 625 awhp on pump gas with meth. I'm shooting for around 750awhp with new setup . 40psi and big turbo should do that.

Okay cool, that's what I was after


Love the colour scheme. Would love to meet the car one day

Hopefully I have have the opportunity to race with you next year

Think you could post some more pictures, maybe a few of the interior?
What internals are you running?

I'm assuming you'll be running the 3586 in a T3 Tial housing??
Sweet manifold BTW

I will be running the 3794 with tial housing:)
thats the only pic i have of the interior.

Ha, I have this picture up on my DSM wall Cut it out from that calendar we got made. Gorgeous car!

Boner! Wow, what a car!

This got me thinking about Nick Gallo's white eclipse. Can't wait to see it next season!

for a second the exterior of 'Snow white' there reminded me of Alex A's 'Red dragon'. 2 tone, twisties and 2gb Eclipse front bumper'ed talon....loose the spoiler and this would be the only DSM I would rock (other then my Elvira).

Such a gorgeous car, why would you tease us with so few pictures?

Wow, I remember when the car was having trouble punching through the 400HP mark. No more Edwin at KVR .. dunno what happens with that dyno now.

I remember just how clean that car was, and to see it probably even more clean now is just inspirational.

Hope life has settled down since the last time the boys were all down at KVR. Been a few years for me ...

Never seen so many Dodge's and Eagle in one parking lot before, that wasn't a performance oriented dealership.

No more Edwin? Thats too bad he was a good guy. Tim you should come down to K-town with your Colt when we have a meet or Shannonville night! Or we could come up to Ottawa, do you go to any meets there?
