Nice! Not counting any labor (other than machining), how much do you think you have tied up in that short block?

.

If you plan on getting rid of that PMax, let me know…

Awesome build man! Those up-pipes and manifolds look killer. Hope to get a set of those manifolds in the spring for mine.

both the manifolds and the T4 set up were a long time coming, but can't blame josh at all he wanted to make sure they were perfect and did extra R&D on it for sure and these are the first sets off the line it was totally with the wait thats for sure

Saw pics of the manifolds on their Facebook page a little while back....probably spring time. Wasn't sure when they were gonna be released cause haven't seen them on their website yet.

I was just talking to Jared yesterday about this, he said they just hired two new people to update things on the website and add descriptions and such.

What is with the super thick flange on the T4 adapter?

Haha np at all that's why all of us post threds so others can learn, and that's RCD's collector for the up pipes it's a full decided collector that is drilled and taped to thred studs into to mount the T4 style turbo flange to

It is rather difficult. Worth it in the end; something to be proud of when you pop the hood, just make sure you know what you're getting into.

Tyler, how much was cut on those valve reliefs? I am assuming 0.040"? Looks like I could put a reeses cup inside them lol

So the only benefit from these and others is the use of studs rather than screwing with bolts/nuts back there (which can be a real PITA)...

Just want to make sure there is no super secret squirrel stuff going on that I don't know about.
