Not sure what it runs, maybe low 11's..?
He's running 15psi.

Slow progress but starting to gather parts, C4 slip yoke, diff flange, Spicer 1310 U-joints. Paul is finishing up the tranny this month.

A few updated progress pics.

I spent three hours re-aligning the head flange as none of the bolt holes lined up.

Welded a plate on the bottom to add all the vacuum lines.
Just need to drill and tap for 1/8 npt.

This is my first time welding aluminum and man you burn through a lot of rods.

That should be worth substantial HP where you want it! Great job.

That is all sorts of bad ass. I can't wait to see the next dyno plot.

When will you be making those for b34 heads to sell? :alright:

If your not thinking of building some for resale, can you try to think of it?

This guy used a 666 mani just like that on a stock m20.
Looks like it has a cam or something. You know how high rpm power completely dies on these engines normally.

I wonder if the m30 is more restrictive then the m20 though.

Should be an improvement over a stock manifold, guess we will have to see. As far as making more of them, I would wait to see the results.
Had to reconfigure the thermostat housing to make it fit. Engine bay is filthy from sitting so long.

I like the Tial products in black. Which TB did you use?

Those short runner manifolds are something else. I always wanted to try one but never made the step.

Assuming that dyno is an M20B25 with the short runner manifold, its missing a lot of midrange. The stock manifold is good for that, but sometimes you get a little more peak cylinder pressure than it can handle. Mine was making 380 rwtq from 4000 past 5000 RPM, with peak power of 384 rwhp at around 6400. I don't know if the short runner manifold at the same boost pressure would have made the car faster or not.

Good Shit Otis

Always great to see your improvements. Remember when I first saw you putting in work with that m10 and didn't do any real welding or anything. Now look at you.

Good show bro

I have only one question. 5 1/2+ years later, are you really still a noob? ;)

Looks great, Otis, I hope it performs to your expectations.
