looks cool mate.

ok manifold is 90% finished now, have just cleaned up ports with die grinder and tungsten carbide burrs (crap photo )

just needs the flanges surface grinding flat as they have warped during welding even though it was bolted to an old head. Was expecting it tho, thats why the flanges were cut 15mm thick to allow for skimming.

Love the car CNHSS1, did you buy it like that or build it?

I'm surprised to see you're still on a volvo intercooler, have you thought about changing it for a better flow jobby?

Are you going to run more boost next year?

i built the first one (normally aspirated), then bought this one, but not in this spec. In fact the only bits that havent been modified or changed since ive owned it, is the diff and chassis, both of which are being rebuilt and modified before the start of the season lol

yeah, its on the list of jobs to be done. i run 16psi at the mo, but will probably be running 18-20psi when its remapped. I do begrudge paying £400 for a fancy ally I/C that i know i will destroy next time i have an 'off' lol The only thing between the I/C and the armco is 2.5mm plastic and fibreglass.
i do fancy the ally iveco ones, as they look quite nice and should flow pretty well too.
Whaddya reckon? any other choices?

Look at RS500 replacement ones. You could use your original piping then

there's a guy on ebay called intercoolerking who has all different sizes of IC, mostly under £100
