Performance manifold, decats, exhaust and induction system complete - Oh wow....

[neo2810]

I got my car back from AAS this afternoon and once again I'm amazed at their craftsmanship. The car sounds amazing, and for an NA, this thing now shifts... Can't wait to get it on the rolling road in 2 weeks but it feel massively faster, and I mean massively. :D

 

I've attached a short vid of the bits and some soundbites but the iPhone sound quality is rubbish so it doesn't do it justice. Apologies for the driving bit at the end, it's hard to hold an iPhone and accelerate (it was on a sliproad and empty before I get the third degree)

 

Here's a short vid of the induction system and manifold/exhaust, with some sound bites (you can hear the suction of the air filter)

And another of the acceleration. Apologies for the poor quality but again its an iPhone.

Nice. That manifold looks a little crazy, how much did it cost to have made?

[neo2810]

I think the manifold was £540 fitted.

Any chance of a flyby?

[Kirk]

Id say its all in your head TBH . You may of gained a bit on the top end but not much if that.

Probably, but don't spoil it for me

Do you like bursting bubbles? Leave him to enjoy the money he spent

 

It looks mint fella and at the end of the day, it is you driving the beast Kudos

every chance if he is going to be at the tunnel run in november need to see if we can set up in the tunnel to take some video tho

[Kirk]

Probably, but don't spoil it for me

 

Sorry

[Nic]

Congratulations

 

Is the manifold custom made? Where are oxygen sensors plumbed in, are they on the 1st decat pipe section, after the manifold? The exhaust doesn't sound overly loud which is good.

sound good mate , revs seem to pick up nice and early

[David P]

Looking good.

 

Interested to see the results.

 

Maybe a good idea to feed the induction cold air too.

There are pics in 'my garage' how to.

Yes, it's custom made Nic, as is the exhaust and decat pipes as well as the induction pipe. I've not checked where they've fitted the o2 sensors but he did mention them so I'm not overly bothered

I specifically asked him to control the noise to keep roughly the same level as it was. Happy with the sound.

Cheers Dave, I've had a good look at your garage many times for some ideas of next steps matie. I may just call on your experience in the near future to get the cold air pull setup.

[David P]

Any time

 

Your exhaust manifold looks a good un.

 

I began with a parallel induction pipe too, yet found that a plenum gives more power.

 

Hope to meet at a meet sometime and give you a drag race, before I get around to 'nailing on' the supercharger.

Sounds like fun

[Wez]

Looks well made and doesn't sound too loud

 

I guess you are still able to fit a stock cat for MOT time.

[David P]

N/A's don't need a cat

[neo2810]

[David P]

The 'force from the dark side' of Supra 'old wives tales' is strong

[Wez]

N/A's don't need a cat

 

Really, how come, my NA always had the CO2 test done when it went for an MOT

[neo2810]

Quick answer, NA engine not listed so decat test is done and if you fail that you should be worried.

Interesting, I used the same garage for MOT for the whole time I had the NA and they always did the test, if I ever own another NA I will be sure to let them know

[David P]

Wez,
