Gasser Manifold(s) Upgrade - Pictures

[mystery3]

Well, I won't get my head studs until tue/wed and i'm leaving thu/fri for cali until the 10th.

What I'd really like to do is run each mani through a full tank of fuel as well as dyno-run-marathon them (all three mani's in one day, one after another) at the end after i've "DD'd" each mani through a tank. That's probably longer than you want to be seperated from your manifold but I think it'd give us all sure-fire information.

EDIT:
plus I don't have the funds right this moment for a full day of dyno runs but i'm open to donations  

Where in cali?

Let me know when you have funds for this type of project. I probably won't actually get around to installing the manifold/building my cai for a couple months. And I would love to see some hard numbers on this topic.

southern; from Valencia to San Diego. It's my cousin's Wedding and my parents Anniversary so I'm not calling the shots :roll: Where are you at?

Here's how much I had to 'clearance' my vnt15 egr port to work.

my g60 intake, I'll try to find some better pictures:



RabbitGTDguy used it on his TDI, with the g60 boost return section as a transition to round.  I've got it on my 1.6 and it's a great cheap solution.
heres another thread with more pictures

I need more info on this please, I have a g60 manifold and I would love to use it!  Thanks in advance

That BBM piece looked great................. until I saw the price.  Holy hell $50!!!!???    I got a welder now, think I'll try and make one out of scrap first.

Ok, so I'm going with the gasser exhaust manifold for sure, where should I put the EGT probe? The 4-2-1 design is great, except it would put the probe so far away from the block by the time it merges into one tube... ideas?

what do you need an EGT probe in a N/A motor for?

i've seen a burnt toyota 2.4D engine.  no turbo on it.  guy burned the valves by probably having the thing flat out for a very long time...  that mixed with improper timing and some bad nozzles could have been enough to push it over the edge.  don't know if there was any modification to the pump though...  so they're not really a requirement on an N/A, but just a little added insurance for someone tuning it.

thought it was even more important to have one on the N/A because there isn't as much air flow to cool it down... i'm wanting to advance the timing and turn up the fuel screw a little more. If it's nothing to worry about, great, that'll save me the $$ for all that crap.

take all that money you are wasting on souping up your n/a engine, and buy a turbo.
im not trying to bash on your build, by any means..
but ive always thought that hot rodding a n/a was like polishing a turd.
it might be prettier to look at , but its still a turd none the less.
take and drop a turbo in there, or even a bottle of nitrous.

Turning up the fuel on a NA helps a bit for those not wanting to dump money into it.

propane injection in a NA is sweet. You'll need the EGT, but the propane is a catalyst to the diesel and you gain some power and torque, by getting a better burn.

bullsh*t...
i played with every aspect of my n/a before i turbo'd it.
i used to be anti-turbo bad..
superchargers were like gods balls.
propane is a waste of time on a n/a i think.
i had propane on my car for a while, and it just wasnt worth it.
aside from dumping a giles pump in the engine, i did everything else.
opened it up, better intake and exhaust. well, rather a lack of exhaust for its last bit of life as a n/a.
still, even with everything i did + propane, it wasnt that good of a gain.
you still had to measure the 0-60 time in minutes.
i wouldnt EVER play with propane on a n/a again trying to get performance out of it.
but, i know a few people who are using propane as a supplemental fuel and are getting rediculious mileage.
35 mpg from a 6.6 duramax is no small feat.
