Yeah it fits, same internals. Both r200s. Speaking of drivetrain components I bought a fidenza 11 pound flywheel today. [![http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/5795/fidenzaflywheel2tc.jpg](http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/5795/fidenzaflywheel2tc.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) ---

Here is couple pictures of my intercooler and turbo. Not sure if I posted it before but the IC core size is 24x12x4 and the turbo is a gt35r with a custom .63 exhaust for mad spool. I have a big 😃 Doesnt the intercooler make the turbo look small?

I spent some time this morning sanding and polishing. I went 100-220-400-600-800-100-1500 then rubbed it down with mothers aluminum polish and then used my bench grinder fitted with a couple polishing wheels and gave it the shine it always wanted. Took me all of about 5 hours. [![http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/1913/polished0bp.jpg](http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/1913/polished0bp.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) ---

These are my manifolds, I made them out of 316 stainless steel. The pipe is 2"ID and the bends are 1 1/2" radius with 1 5/8" id schedule10. The flanges are 1/2" waterjet cut and cost me too much, oh well. The weldings isn’t quite finished because I was tired and wanted to do something else but I will finish up tomorrow. It is slowly coming together. I’ll post pics with the turbo mounted tomorrow…ta da… [![http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/319/manifolds19kc.jpg](http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/319/manifolds19kc.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/425/manifolds21vg.jpg](http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/425/manifolds21vg.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/5229/manifolds31qv.jpg](http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/5229/manifolds31qv.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) ---

I will definatly post the times I go to race city, and then post my times after race city…HAHAHA. The welds are good but they aren’t quite the prettiest, I am using a scratch start tig that is fairly old and has no pedal so you have to really compensate for that in the speed of travel I am just not really use to this because I usuaaly use an aerowave tig worth $15000 but it isn’t too bad. ---

The motor is now fully assembled, my microtech is at the border waiting for customs to let it by. I don’t think I will have it on the road this year. Thats ok though it’s been a year and a half already so whats another 7 or 8 months. It will be a good year next year though. ---
