Lucifer gets new Turbo setup!

[mikemounlio]

What is the propper way to torque manifold bolts? Its impossible to get a torque wrench on each nut! Am i missing something here?

Lucifer has a couple stripped out bolts in the block. Im going to have to use a helicoil on them. I want to prevent future stripping.

That link shows the B3 header though. I thought Matt made a few b6t headers like that B3 one. It's been awhile.

You're right, that's the header I associate with DAE. For some reason I went stupid and assumed it was for the dohc b6 because I knew he he had built a few for that platform as well.

I only remember him making a direct replacement B6T manifold with the removable collector flange.

The Subaru sound comes from a total unequal length system.

Btw if it wasn't evident in the above pic link, that is the DAE header.

that manifold looks very close to the one I built for my festiva.... sweet build

I wonder if this manifold will give a slight Subaru sound. Due to not true length runners. Or is it so slight it won't make a difference

That's pretty

I would love to see back to back of dae vs the log manifold vs stock. I personally think the log would be the best you have more volume where as the dae merges into the 2 pipes. Just my .02

I didn't think the dae header looked like that either. I thought it was more of a true ram horn ( equal length runners) .

I will place the o2 after the turbo! The current 02 location will be drilled out for a wastegate to be welded in place.

Is the ram horn style manifold a step up from the stock style? This one is not really a true ram horn. I wounder how it will sound being just 2 main runner tubes!

I can't remember exactly what it looks like. "Ram horn" is a description of a typical mid length, equal length 4-1 turbo manifold. They don't always work the best, but in the case of the b6t, any extra runner length is a benefit. The stock manifold places the turbo too close to the exhaust ports and it doesn't take much for the heat to back up and melt the pistons or cause detonation problems. I'd be willing to bet that this design flaw is a big reason why the b6t is 7.8:1 compression rather than the more common 8.5:1 that we see on most fuel injected turbo 4 cylinders from the 1980s.

Edit: just looked at the picture. I don't remember the DAE b6t manifold looking like that. It should work better than the stock manifold. I would move the 02 sensor from the collector to the outlet. I've melted b6t o2 sensors before and it ruins the turbo.
