Manifold is done finally, just finished most of it yesterday! Had to make everything from scratch but I did a twin scroll manifold with a single wastegate for now. Just waiting on some more piping to finish my downpipe, had to move pretty much everything so I had to rebuild it all. I am 98% done though, I'll have a new video with driving out probably Friday? Pipes don't show up til Wed.
@@projectrandomCO I think what you did with the manifold now will be a lasting success. I was already pretty sure that the welds of the first iteration won’t hold. Let’s hope the cooling passage reinforcement is up to task. If your setup is running, I’ll fab my own manifold as well, although I bought a compressor housing and manifold that I was planning to bore. Did you manage to get the clearance for disassembly under the car? Keep it up bro.👊🏼
@@cribwalkgenetics9826 Yeah the manifold seems super solid. I had the wrong wire in my mig welder, I was going to Tig everything but ended up using the Mig again since my welder is crap. It is 100% better than the first and should last for a while. Car is running, I just have to finish the downpipe but I can already tell the turbo spools how it should, it sounds like a jet engine now, before I couldn't hear it when revving in park. I did clearance everything out with the new manifold. I am doing the downpipe in 2 sections with a vband so I can take it out from the top instead of having to remove the bottom plate. I also made the manifold a little shorter and put the WG right under the turbo instead of down below so it's easier to get to. I'll show everything in the next video and take it for a rip!
Hey! Not sure if you saw when it overheated, but it spun a bearing. I'm about 60% of the way rebuilding the entire engine. All the parts are in. I just need to put everything back together now but have been out of town.
Ive been following your build verbatim for mine, do you think its worth it to go for the big single or should i go with a hybrid turbo like a shuenk or TTE400 for ease of use?
@projectrandomCO thanks, looking forward to seeing your manifold work. Might give me some better ideas to go for a too mount. N20s get no love. Hopefully BM3 gives us CustomROM, I can't imagine what your spool would be on your turbo without anti lag
Been following and always looking for updates. Can’t wait to see it running
Workkkkkk this guy definitely deserves more recognition. Every thing you want is coming. Things get greater later 💯
nice bro
Just subscribed love to see this being done maybe I’ll have to attempt on my N20 after I’m done with my E46
Counting on you🤝🏼
I want to see some cheap n20 power.

@@projectrandomCO when is the next video?
@@projectrandomCOit’s been 2 months, NEED an update pls
When’s the next update!! I’ve been following this build hoping to do it to my n20

@@projectrandomCO Oh jeez, imma stay tuned. Can’t wait to see this beast up and running
Ive been following your build verbatim for mine, do you think its worth it to go for the big single or should i go with a hybrid turbo like a shuenk or TTE400 for ease of use?
Yo, the hybrid one would be super easy to swap, otherwise you have to build a manifold

@@Dark-jo3gdhey man. N20+ turbo here on my car and the lag is astronomical… 😂 3500 rpm it kicks in then I’m spinning first 3 gears.
Did you ever change the downpipe to 2 inches?
Yo, this is replacing the whole setup, the up pipe to the turbo was 2.5" now I'll have 1.25 for each cyllinder going to the collector/T4 flange
@@projectrandomCO gotcha, that should work great, hopefully you’ll get it dialed I’m just as excited as you are.
DRIVE IT
Good
Any updates bro?
Video is uploading now!
Still working on it?
Uploading a video now, had to rebuild the whole engine again. Spun a bearing after I got boost in it. Must have happened when it overheated.
Damn maybe my n20 has a chance too lol
The N20 is a solid engine it’s reliable and tune able however it’s temperamental and has to have a perfect tune to run right
