Nice build. And I thought NA LS1's in RX7's were a handful! Question, is there a reason that you decided to merge the outlet's of the hotside into 1 pipe rather than run a dual exhaust setup? Just curious.

It came down to the amount of space that there was to work with. The turbos couldn't be spread apart from each other much further, so the down pipes would have hit. Then on top of that there wouldn't be enough room to run the down pipe on the drivers side with the manifold and exhaust feed right there.

Very cool build. Been trying to get my pops to do the swap in his 94 R2,.. but, it's like pulling teeth. Keep up the good work.
Also fella's, it is possible to weld to CAST manifolds. Seen a couple of buddies with truck/c6 manifolds that they hack off the factory flange, and weld in a V band flange. Seems to working with no issues on there cars.
Again, sweet build.

Tons of progress made on the car this weekend, thanks once again to digitalsolo. Motor and trans are back in, fuel system is done (minus wiring the pumps), hot side of the turbo kit is almost done, oil feed and drain to the turbo's is 100% done, engine bay wiring is 95% done, suspension is 100% done.
