OK well im almost done.... the hardest part is over cutting and guessing and all that bullshit... just need to cut and weld the collector together.... but i need to see at what angle the turbos gonna sit at...

Well I only fucked it up twice... had ordered 4 short radis bends and the rest were all long... so i welded extensions... and then cut them... and they were to short... so i had to fix them.... I ended up spending roughly 150$ on materials and what not... but I know what i did wrong... and i know how to do it better the next time...

Heres some pics... just imagine it with a collector....

Enjoy... Ps... my welds are getting better....

Looks great so far...Keep going.

Edit: What are your plans for the collector?

1/8 in steel plates.... cut into a box xhape to connect all 4 pipes on one end... and then have it merge seamlesly into the T3 flange...

Great project.

Looks good Albert. It really doesn't look that bad for your first weld. The manifold looks well thought out too.
What's the word on those bottles?

Thanks... steve...

I guess i just have to ---- with the settings to get it to weld right... Just more practice.... and i should be in the mix..... hopefully ill get it done by this weekend... So i can find out how much pipig im gonna need..

Got my contact working on the getting a cylinder suppplier... I asked him how much he can get them for if i bought 10 (10lb) bottles...

Nice stuff man. I want a welder. But damn they cost too much. If I had a welder I'd....

Just wish I had one.

I got it on credit.... Lowes had a 6months same as cash deal.... so i jumped on it... already paid 300.... half the amount for the welder and chopsaw......

If you need ---- done... let me know.... arrange a weekend or something to help out local HMT'rs

AgentMurdoc

Dude that'd be sweet! Mos definitely let you know if I need some weldin' done. Your time and equipment will be compensated with either cash (highly dependant on the bill status), parts (if i have anything useful), and good ole fashion food (can't ever get enough of that). :P

Yeah I actually thought about getting one on credit, but then I thought to myself, do I really need to owe more money? I owe 6grand and that's all credit cards and a same loan and I don't make ---- working (literally don't make ----). ---- I'm still paying off debt from when I was 17, that's 3.5 years ago. Credit is no longer my friend.
