This is Tom , the oczc's tuner.

The past few days have been mind boggling, i don't know what i'm going to do w/o him. We spent so much time eating oc, and just building cars. His fabrication was the best around, hes the reason i got into the tuning business. I've only tuned cars that he did the fabrication on, so i'm kinda wondering what i'm going to do w/o him.

He and i loved oc more than anything, we always talked about owning our own panda express with an auto shop right behind it, so we could have all the oc we wanted while building the fastest cars around. So in memory i drove all the way to florida where they had a grand opening of a panda express. i had a double order of oc but just wasn't the same him. I sat there and pondered what to do. I think i'm going have to start eating asain chow, the pandas just not the same w/o him.

BUT.....

I have decided that i'm going to finish any projects that he started or promised to do. We never did any of this for the money, look at all of the free ---- he gave away.

The guy who owns the quad turbo viper that we were using as the chase/video car when the oczc died has donated a bunch money so we can keep the spirit of what the oczc did alive.

So to the orginal poster, I'm going to make you a manifold for your car, the oczc would have wanted it that way. He loved seeing his name on peoples cars, knowing that he helped build something. So please let me know the configuration that you want for it. What size turbo? What wastegates??

If anyone wants to put some RIP OCZC stickers on their ride lmk,

 

I have custom 63 trim jurnal bearing turbo with T3 flange and 38mm exturnal wastegate for my Ls-Vtec Del Sol. Looking for 450whp. Thank you very much I'll keep you posted!

 

i would totally put a RIP OCZC on my car. gotta show the love for someone who has done so much. i cant believe i just recently heard about him even though he has pioneered turbo hondas. now that i have done some research i know we wouldnt be where we are now without him, and also you tom, his cars wouldnt have been so fast without your tuning

 

The gf wants a RIP OCZC thong.

 

+1

 

This may sound kinda odd, what i was thinking maybe the OP would get a pic of himself and a RIP OCZC sticker, he was caught kinda half way at the end of the old tradition, and would be the one to carry the torch to then new tradition. OCZC was weird about that kinda stuff.

I remember one day eating some oc, he accidently told me about his superstition of after he took a ****, of how'd he shake it 4 times on the left, 3 times on the right, then 2 more times on the left, and then finally once on the right. I laughed so hard I spit my orange chicken all over the panda express, and mexican working, got all pissed off at me due to the mess(which i was going to clean up), and oczc told the little bastard that unless he if wanted choke on the longest piece of oc in his mouth that he needed go back to mopping the floor. Funny thing is oczc barely ever got mad, except when i was making fun of his superstitions/weird traditions. Man i miss oczc so much already.

OP, you want the manifold made outta schedule 10 pipe, or 16 gauge stainless?? and do you want to start the new tradition with the RIP OCZC stickers??

 

whats the difference between 10 pipe and 16? And yah I would love to start new tradition with the RIP OCZC sticker.

 

Schedule 10, for the normal 1.5" pipe used in Honduh manifolds, is abot a tenth of an inch thick. 16 gauge is, well, 16 gauge.

 

oh ok, so schedule 10 thats a wall thikness (about .100"). 16 gauge little lighter color one...
