Exocet EFR
Finally got my frame bolted to the miata chassis today.
The original plan began with an Artech manifold and downpipe for the EFR, but it doesn't fit the Exocet (not Abe's fault).
Only about 1/4" clearance here (less if i clock the housing in either direction), and the wastegate interferes with the "hood"
But atleast the downpipe fits I guess
So now I have to scrounge up a few posts to offer up the combo to another loving home.
I sent an email to Abe to see if he thinks just the straight log manifold would work, I have a good bit of room to work with just not where this manifold ended up putting the turbo.

I have a SR20 T25 I'll trade you straight up
Looks like you just need a different manifold design to have the WG Actuator clocked 90*. Is that Rhino liner on your floor pans? Looks nice! I am just using some skateboard grip tape on mine for cost & time savings.

The floors and front bulkheads are rhino liner, I was going to have them powder coated and use the grip tape but the guy did it for the cost of material only. came to $100 and it was done in a few hours.
I don't have coilovers yet so I have 2x4s supporting everything, it does sit a little high like that.
Thought about it, but it looks like it puts the turbo in about the same spot vertically.

Can you put a level on the WG can and the VVT actuator or otherwise measure which side is higher/ by how much? I have an n/a VVT engine in my Exocet I am building, but am researching future turbo upgrades. I already have to raise the hood to clear the VVT solenoid, but curious about the actuator clearance w/ the TS manifold. Thanks!

I placed a 2" roll of painters tape on top of the valve cover and that gave me about a 1/4" of clearance with the wastegate, but way too much gap on the sides.
But after looking at it, it seems like if i just go with a log manifold and put the turbo flange between the front two runners it will fit nicely. Just need to see how it looks with the steering in place.

ok so now that i'm posting in the correct thread...
It's been a few months, got the new log setup from Abe. Oil and water lines are done, as well as the fuel lines. Replaced the stock pump with a DW200, ID1000 injectors, and a new fuel rail.
Next week I should be able to get the radiator and intercooler mounted and piping done. *ignore the stuff holding the turbo on, just temporary
Pics
-4 oil, -6 water
Oil and water feed, brake/clutch lines also
-8 drain
Drain line
Fuel rail to regulator on the firewall
DW200 to -6 feed/return
