Manifold Cracked & Turbo Upgrade

[stutzedward]

Ah Wah said it's pretty common for the original manifold to crack. Well, it's time for me to upgrade to TD05 + FMIC. Will keep the progress update here... project begins next week.

Yep.. Mmg normal the cracked manifold.. Had mine change 2 yrs ago....same spot like u... A hairline crack.. Luckily found a replacement at chop shop... Price rm350 and I sprayed ceramico coating to protect it from cracking again...

Yup. When engine is cold, I hear pretty loud whistle sound. Hoping after the fix, I'll get better performance too. ;)

If wrap sumore faster-la it will crack. Cause water condensation will happen / form at the thermal wrap there. I wrapped my old EVO manifold then damn kau fast it crack.

Btw, new Airtrek owner reporting in :p

re: Manifold Cracked & Turbo Upgrade

FMIC is Rm1500 offered by Ah Wah. I've had the ad up in the sale section. It's TD05 from Evo 7. Thanks bro. :)

Weird,

I thought when you dump in a TD05, they have to move the fan to the front cause will kena the turbine compressor housing. No meh??

Won't lag ka TD05? You would be better off with a TD05 from an E4 to E6 cause if i remember correctly its smaller then the 05' from an E7.

Yes, the fan needs to be modified. It's not done yet when the picture was taken.

I've NOT driven the car yet, so I don't know about turbo lag yet. Will share when I got the car today I hope.

The FMIC alone is rm1500. It's pretty cheap n good deal actually. The td05 from Evo 7 includes installation is rm1600 and Works Engineering fuel regulator is Rm400. So altogether is rm3900.

First feel and experience.
- my straight flow exhaust system is so much quieter. Sound of exhaust is smooth and 'gentle'
- car felt more refined, less rough in a way
- save the best for last, power - below 3500rpm is a bit weak. Turbo lag is apparent. Td04 comes in as early as 2000rpm but fades off at 5500. But td05 kicks in hard at 3500 all the way to 7000 without fading. The higher the speed, the stronger it pulls. It's only at 1 bar now. Ah Wah said after I upgraded the fuel system n tuning done, I can boost till 1.4 bar no problem. Hehehe.

Will share pictures tmrw.
