Project is born


- Sept, 2002 -
With the goal of becoming the first FIed S54 M, the project begin its life.

- Vortech SC is installed.

- Stock intake manifold is modified so that more fuel can be supplied to each throttle body.  This is the idea that later yield to 6 additional injectors.

- Intake manifold Version #1

- Sept & Oct, 2002 -
Trial and error yield to the conclusion that custom intake manifold is needed for S54 forced induction.

- First custom made all aluminum intake manifold for S54.

- Notice 6 additional fuel lines, but no injectors yet.

- No aftercooler at this point.

- Intake manifold version #2

- Nov, 2002 -
Based on custom aluminum intake manifold design, the first aftercooled custom intake manifold is born.

- First custom made all aluminum intake manifold for S54 with built in aftercooler core.
  (During testing and tuning, the manifold could not hold the pressure, luptured, and got patched up)

- Two large injectors between SC air outlet and intake manifold inlet.

- Intake manifold version #3

- July, 2003 -
Another version of intake manifold was received in March, 2003.  However with lack of anyone to tune the car, the car was parked until July.

- All aluminum intake manifold for S54 with build in aftercooler core and 6 additional injectors.

- The car was drivable at this point despite of idle surges and no WOT tuning.

- Intake manifold version #4

- May, 2004 -
Another version of intake manifold was received in May, 2004. 

- All aluminum intake manifold for S54 with built in aftercooler core and 6 additional injectors.

- Osh personally came to my house to work on the car.

- The car was drivable at this point despite of idle surges and no WOT tuning.

- Intake manifold version #5
