Re: 6-1 collectors?

I know there was a post on HT's fab section containing a link to a volvo page where a guy built his own manifold and used solidworks to design the collector.

The link was in the first post too. If i find it I'll post it up.

Just gotta figure out the cuts. Just mess around with some stuff like drinking straws or dowels.

Re: 6-1 collectors?

ya it shouldnt be bad just practice using some thing else maybe draw it out before...iv also seen 6-3-1 instead of making one huge collector make two collectors exactly the same and then cut them so they both can fit togeather that might help

Also depends on how made-rare you wanna make it.

You can do two 3-1s and then just stack em. 6-1 all in a conical shape would be tougher.

Re: 6-1 collectors?

You make it the same damned way, you just cut out 60* per pipe, per end meeting instead of 90*. Jesus christ learn some ------- math kid. 360* in a circle / 6.
Apart from that. Unless there are serious space issues, you shouldn't make a collector with more than 4 ports. You should run a pair of 3-1 collectors. (And yes. That would be 360/3.) Turbulance, and velocity loss becomes high above 4 ports.

I'm sorry, but god damned kids today are ------- retarded...
