Yea I think that's what he seeing, in the first pic Mdub? That would be the passenger manifold

I did port my intake manifold last year tho

Manifold looks really nice, just how long did that take you? I spent almost 12 hours total on my manifold and it never looked that good.

Lol guess it is the manifold. Thought you were doing an individual runner intake manifold. Hey, its been done before!

Not sure how much time total, probably 6-8 hours
I took it to my friend who has a milling machine at home and had him mill out the inside flat and I did the rest with carbide burrs

True it has, maybe next year

Finished it up this weekend

I did modify and add a 3rd v-band flange on the passenger side to make it easier to work with in the truck

Also stripped the motor, to get to the cam to send it out

Looks great, very jealous of your fabrication skills.

I really like how you chamfered the ports on the intake manifold.

And you welding skills are awesome too!

BlueWaffle · Mar 17, 2014

if for some reason you have to pull the crank adapter.....make sure its aligned properly for install. things can get a little shakey if you don't LOL

Thanks guys! Wish my welding was better still!

Hah I saw that on you thread lance, mine had a dowl pin in it so should be all set!!

Just have to figure out my wastegate now, any of you guys have some ideals? I'd just run it on the passenger side manifold and vent it out the wheel well, will that work?

Probably use 250-255/100 injectors for this project more then plenty of fuel to get me into 12s on fuel and high 11 on spray!

Only thing is I'd be careful with those bellows. Here's the aftermath.

Ouch, what happened there? To much back pressure?

They came off of a single 80mm turbo setup. Back pressure is ~75psi at WOT. Bellow expanded and the interlock liner unwound and went through the charger. Nitrous backfire about a year ago had to be the cause. Just now found it after trying to get to the hpfp.

That setup must take off like a bullet once she lights!! Nice back pressure number too, hpfp? 6.4?

That's why spray worries me, if I'm careful should be all set tho

Ya, takes 3000 rpms to light....it is a 6.4 with 100 overs.

Indeed, just be careful with them. If a backfire happens, give everything a look over and you should be okay.

617mach 1x · Mar 17, 2014

Would that work for a wastegate location?

What causes a nitrous backfire?

well my thoughts on building my own injectors and tine are running out slowly so ill be getting a hold of RCD to have them build me a large set of conventionals

havent had much time to work on the truck lately been working all the over time possible to pay for the parts i need and the bills

i did order a few items, like shot beads to cleans the block and shipped out my cam

ford rules · May 4, 2014

Any updates?

617mach 1x · May 4, 2014

pictures are coming, injectors should ship out this week 275/100, super duper secret dual hpop kit should be finished by the end of the week also

going in for paint next week, fix the huge dent in the box and cab corners, paint the 4link and the traction bars
