MCNSPORT: D-Mac86 The Evolution

[MCNSPORT.com]

Well i'm back in good old IRL after FD Round one with both the Falken Tire Saturn Sky and me bruised and battered after this...



So some progress was made on the D-Mac86



I decided to run with as short of an exhaust manifold as possible to increase spool and reduce lag. To do this the exhaust has to run on the drivers side of the car and not the passengers like before. This will leave space on the passenger side for the alternator re-locate and dry sump pump. We are also using the Tial Stainless exhaust housing which sould also increase spool and it uses a "v" band clamp so no more annoying turbo gaskets. The 60mm wastegate is now mounted extremly low as well so over all everything will be mounted much lower in the engine bay keeping all the weight down and lower in the center of gravity



The down pipe is now 3 inch and expands to 4 inch under my feet. "v" bands everywhere equals no leaks!!



The original seat cross member has been removed as they are too ugly to be included in my perfect 86 so we are these on each side. Interestingly these will continue through the tunnel and basically be one complete box section from sill to sill. Inside the tunnel this will be used to mount the Saenz Sequential gearbox
