I have no room for an intake on the other side. It's fine this way I think. I need to go back to storage and grab some more measurements.

I forgot you still have power steering. Makes sense, carry on!
Yes sir. That's why no flipping.
Sent the car to the local exhaust shop. Getting the full system redone with the new tubular manifold. All 3" aluminized steel with all v-band flanges, vibrant ultra quiet resonator and vibrant steertpower oval muffler. Routing it under the axle. Hoping for a quieter system. I will add a second resonator if I have to.
Car on the way to shop.

Will post pics of the exhaust progress as I get them.
Some pics of the fab work on the exhaust. Guy was taking too long. Someone else took over and made progress and sent me some photos.

It hangs a bit lower than I wanted it.

Got the right angle. Now installing a v-band to make the downpipe a two piece for easier removal. Which will help with making the downpipe even closer to the oil pan and that will prevent it from scraping. I mainly blame my suspension being really bouncy lol.

had him reroute the downpipe as i didnt like the placement. i will post pics once its all finished. im hoping i will have it back this weekend. i have a pile of car parts that i need to install on it.
Measuring the combustion chamber for the sonata head

45cc is what I measured. I will measured the other 3 to confirm.
So with a cometic head gasket and a stock block I will run 8.6:1 compression
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04...afa72a5c1c.jpg
The old numbers that was measured by flash on club3g stating that the sonata head has a 56cc chamber seem to be wrong or off. Brandon measured his head and came up with 43cc.
^^^Didn't Jigz knick a valve on the Cometic HG with is DOHC setup?
I stand corrected. I just went through his build and it was an OEM HG that was too thin for the setup.
It's easy to guess what this is.

if you want higher compression, you can always put 7g piston-rods in there
No I'm good with low compression. Less chance of knock.
The muffler looks good.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04...34b57be3f6.jpg
That does look good. It lined up nicely with the bumper
Thanks Jon. Exactly what I wanted it to look like. Even though the piping was not what I wanted. But I'll address that issue later.
Small list I compiled together

Exhaust is done. New 12an drain is leaking at the turbo side. The line has a slight kink to it since I used a straight and a 45 so i think it's causing the system to back up and leak from the gasket or somewhere else. I'm towing it home Saturday and gonna work on that issue.
No audio clip yet but it's much quieter than the last system.

New head gasket is here, cometic 87mm bore. With this head gasket I will get 8.6:1 compression

OH tell me more about this gasket?
I hate you. Just like my mom when I say I'm going to the gym. "who's Jim?"

Lol you asked for it!!!
I had the same problem with the oil leaking from the turbine sound of the housing. Turns out I just overfilled like a dumbass.
Overfill it how??
Well over the winter I took off the oil cooler and added a sandwich plate to the oil filter bracket for some sensors, I never fully drained the oil so between the extra 2 qts the accusump holds plus the kick out on the oil pan I missed judge how much I needed to refill according to the dipstick. Ill be honest Im not exactly sure where I went wrong and It might have been having the mind set that I need to add enough to fill the cooler also but in the end I disconnected the return line from the pan to see if it was clogged and oil just kept pouring out. I probably drained about 2 qts when it stopped draining and then check the dip stick and I only needed to re-fill about 1/2qt.
So I did that but I only filled up to the first line on the stick which indicates your about a qt low but I have enough capacity to do that. Im asking myself now do I really need have the cooler full all the times, does it actually get full when WOT, did this contribute to me overfilling, luckily it only ran in the garage so Im sure it didn't effect anything.
I gotta find out because Im planning on using an cooler on the trans now since I have issues with blowing 4th and need to know if I have to add extra gear oil since theoreticly there will be less in the trans while it running through the cooling system.
I would definitely add more oil to the cooler. It's the same concept of the radiator. U need to get that air bubble out. At least that's how I see it. I will be adding a cooler to mine some time later this summer so I will find out more info on it.
As far as over filling I don't have your issue.
I have a straight fitting going into a 45 and that's causing an unneeded kink in the link due to the tight radius reducing the diameter of the tube at the very middle of it. So another 45 at the turbo side should make it flow better.
I actually have the same set up, strate fitting at the oil pan and 45 at the turbo but i dont have a kink. I face the 45 towards the radiator with a slight turn to the right and sweeps in towards the oil pan over the dpif I remember correctly.
Mines is a -10 though, PTE recomended to me a -12 but I never been able to find a drain fitting that sizr.
I sourced a 12an for the holset. Only one source sells it and it's in Canada. I paid $50 for both turbo and oil pan fittings. I think the placement of my turbo gives me that kink and yours doesn't. I had a - 10 with two 45 on each end but I felt that was restricting the flow and causing the turbo to leak from the compressor side so I swapped to a 12an. Let me dig up the source I bought it from and post the link for u.

This is the oil pan side.
Nice, thanks!
You're welcome. I decided to go with push lock hose instead of stainless line. Much easier to assemble.
I have bought a lot of four 12an to 3/4" npt to fit those.

Head is back from the machinist. Valves and valve seats all cut. Resurfaced it. Cleaned it. Installed evo valves and retainers along with the HKS 280s.

Head is out!!
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...a07c3dbdb5.jpg
Did some work today. Cleaned the block. Installed the head studs. Connected the intake manifold to the head, installed new reluctor and sealed the housing. Installed the fidanza cam gears. Routed all the vacuum lines on the intake manifold properly.

Oh im loving this:054:
Good work.
Man, your making me want to do that turbo set up on mine following your build.. Ill be happy with 7lbs of boost.
Do it. A healthy 4g64 can handle some decent boost. Wait until I finish the head swap. I'm planning on cranking up the boost.
