They are modified coils off of a CBR motorcycle. The only thing is you will be very limited on which sparkplugs to run if you use a motorcycle style coil, as you will need to make sure the spark plug you get has a screw off tip, or you are able to machine the spark plug end to accept the coil...

Looking good! 8) One big ass wastegate was no option?

Thanks man. And to answer your question, no it wasn't an option. To run a true twin scroll turbo setup, you need to make sure the exhaust pulses are isolated, and if I were to run only one wastegate, it could cause cross contamination between the two...

Weren't you also really considering selling your car?

Anyhow, I love that manifold set up! I plan on also doing this, but way later down the road (I have a GT32) but no money. I want to see what this thing can do! Love the set up, love the car!

I will do my best to have it in Monday night (my friend's shop where I am working on my car will be closed tomorrow and Sunday...)

Sure does. Last time I checked you needed an engine in a car to get any speed :wink:

LMAO!!!!!

On a side note, I think it's time to polish up that tranny. Can't have a bling comp housing sitting next to a bobo tranny. :)

What are you going to do about the clutch slave cylinder?
Click to expand...

The slave cylinder fits. I mocked everything up in the car with the motor in when I built this turbo setup.

And about the oil pan, when you see what I had to do to make the 4" exhaust clear, you will understand why I didn't go with a bigger oil pan. No room.

The reason for me asking is my T66 comp. housing touches the bleeder screw on mine so I had to rotate it up.

Yeah, when my friend and I built the manifold, we made sure to move the turbo far enough out to clear the slave cylinder, and in the process it caused me to completely change my coolant system/radiator to get everything to fit.
