Thought about it, infact I was going to have it stuck right out at one point then I tryed a few other places for it my favorite was actually behind the head light but pulled slightly closer to the engine
but after testing it there would have been no way to get a radiator in the front not to mention the length of manifold and calculated weight being a shit load

managed to get the majority of it welded, lots of grinding to do and a welder still to fix it would benefit from a little attention in the collector too lol


exhaust and dump/screamer pipe not trimmed to length

I think you need a bigger turbo Brett *smiley*

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

We have some Hoosier slicks at university, our Formula Student car runs on 10" wheels, they are only 6" wide, very soft compound though. Not sure how long they would last on your beast. You can get wider ones though, and I guess they would be alright for a few trips down the strip, But the Formula student cars are normally sub-200kg.

Edit: Avon also do a 10" which is 7" wide, but smaller outer diameter

Is the manifold for mocking up purposes?

Not sure what you mean but no there is still welding to do though, im going to tidy the manifold in general but everything is in its place now
you can probably see some of the tack welds

I'm not sure if this is going to get to full boost and then do burnouts until the tyres pop or just spin the rims inside the tyres but either way it should be fun. *happy*

i have a few tricks up my sleeves to try get some decent power down, i want to try it on these ( or some road tires) first hopefully they will slip before something else breaks then i will be looking seriously for some decent tires/wheels before winding the boost up, i hope to have it running before mitp ( not that it will be going or anything) but if i play my cards right over christmas i will pull the engine and have it sleeved and forged pistons and H beam rods ready for pushing towards higher power and hopefully some track time next year
