the manifold produces power hands down. jesseb has been building manifolds for years of experience and not just in the evo field honda acura etc. You have to keep in mine most people are probaly in my situation unless your a shop or can tune and do your own install work or had a previous tune on a ported one then. you just install it and roll. i had a megan manifold that was cracked my test would not be valid lol. there are some people i have gotten the mona with ported ones before head one being Green meanie once he gets his issues straight he will be swapping out so test againsted ported stockers are coming but takes time as in anything

hey bro a couple things i would love to change in your engine bay nice photo skills.. one those radiator brackets need to be painted again or get stm ones all rusted out. another the upper radiator pipe is boring now I do have a headdyanmics upper pipe i would sell to you for a stupid low price since we are boys. talked ot jorge the other day he had to go to usps to get my Spoolin UP Cop so he should have mailed out the t/b as he said that was the plan. have you thought about redoing valve cover and maybe a rexspeed cf fuse cover they are on sale for a great price now

dont know if its worth it to do SD converstion yet to be honest with you. I have not seen if any power is gained on 93 oct. also just improved idling and as people say drivablity but again thats all in the user driving. come holla at me about my spare upper metal radiator pipe as i dont need it and it will spruce your bay up

I dont have the funds right now to do coatings or porting just want to get things together and then when its time I will def contact you with info to get it coated. Since some campanys have a tendency to overlook your parts being ported already I will just have FP port the Turbo but when It returns its easy to pop the Hotside off and have it coated. I just Pm'ed Lancer back and we are talking now to make sure everything is up and up and I will pay pal him as soon as I get a reply.

hmmm im positive JMS knows all about SD as Jorge had mention it to me breifly and asked if i wanted to do it did not go into great detail about it nor did i inquire or pick his mind about it. It was one of those deals like i can do SD Completely last after car is together type deal. So now the only thing of extreme importance left is my Strictly modified built transmission coming next month but they can get the car ready without that. I dont know maybe after i get the tranny and they will have it tuned already ill talk to jorge more about it but im not trying to add another failing point as remember i dont have any shops or tuners even close to me.

Your car is getting tuned pretty soon I believe man
Talk to Jorge about the Speed Density, he'll give you all the info you need.
They converted an evo to SD from Monterrey, Mexico.........car has been running solid and that guy is huge into road racing.

I didn't hear it today, another customer of theirs just picked up a fully built 6262 evo so I got to ride in that beast. Joaquin was building I believe 3 evo engines so they are pretty busy, I know for sure it's just a matter of days before it's running.

WOW one thing that is surprising me the most is almost everybody that comes there is doing a motor build of some type mostly 2.3 i believe. the evo you rode in did they build it or did the owner buy it that way. I suppose it was a built 2.0 huh? If you are going to be there tomorrow or later in the week snap a couple more shots of mine please. this one pic only is killing me

Ill give you a ride in mine once i return down there but im sure you will ride it well before ME haaaaa
