Wow that is some old school HMT action right there :6 Long live the square log mani :y

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

square log ftw. what numbers were you getting from it?

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Is the quality Brett welding madness? That is a classic piece. Take good care of it.

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

The flanges that came with the wastegate welded very strange...They had alot of machine oil still in them and there was alot of flames while welding but he got it to penitrate nice.

As for numbers, Im planning on a trip to xenocron once im done for a tune just over 200 whp

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

That mani takes me back. O0

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Gangster

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Hardcore!

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

As if that thing wasnt gangster enough LOL... that rocks man, nice work

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

thanks guys, and yes dave, this was the quality brett welding madness. im going to say, making the downpipe for this maniflld was easy as ----, but the charge piping is gonna be horrible.

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

make the charge piping out of black abs 2" and youll be in the hmt hall of fame like on my set up nigs https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...opic=36739.250 well im hoping for the hall of fame at least..
oh ---- the moderators of this forum should make a HMT hall of fame the most ghetto and cheapest turbo set ups should be in there! (that work and work not fall apart) just a thought.. you decide nigs :1

and nice set up and i like the color of the valve cover that paint would match my ghetto purple turbo hatch..

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

I love it.... the Squarefold is killer I might whip one up for my Nova like that lol....

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

i think youll be better off with a ss autochrome manifold for $150, although they are a peice of ---- i bet itll flow better than that square log.

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

That has to be one of the awesomest things I've ever seen. O0

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

shouldnt be bad...just come around the bend from the fmic and then up to the turbo, its just a little further than normal since its up higher

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

This thing will be around until the end of time. Most SSAC manifolds will probably last a quick trip down the road.

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

200hp? Weaksauce..

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Honestly I doubt hes going to be making enough power that he would notice much of a difference. You people bitch about regular log manifold not flowing as well as a turbular one yet there are low 9sec cars using Log Manifold.

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

^^^mabe in the 8th most 9 seconds car use side and top mount...or mabe im wrong :1

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

leave now

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

For sure, this thing is proven to last....I never have to worry about it. Plus I love the squareness, its different :S

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

no, he's just prolly not talking about honduhs

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

wow that looks like turds

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Correct Im talking about a 4cyl SVO 2.3L so not much bigger then a Honda...

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Yea, But Huber's car is weak :S What it run now...low 9's at 3000# or so. lol

Later

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Sure does, and im proud of it! lol its all about function over fashion :y

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

finally you learn....brett and the mig madness ftw

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

I knew that manifold would go down in history. LONG LIVE THE SQUAREFOLD!!

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

Your wrong. The top mount thing didnt start till a couple years ago. A close friend of mine went 9.40 on a log manifold,,84mm b16a and in 2000. In that era log manifolds or cast via rev hard was what most 9-10 sec cars repped. Really it comes down to spool time but if your launcing at 9000 and staying above 6000 the whole time it doesnt make a damn bit of difference.

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

thats why i threw in or mabe im wrong because i havent seen everything out there well not yet at lease. ;D

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

you must be kidding me. i wouldnt let that slob within 9 years of my car based on those niglet welds

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

you can do better in tight spaces with a mig? dont think so.... those are solid welds on some thick ass metal... just because its not pretty tig welds doesn't mean it wont hold

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

He only welded the wastegate flange and downpipe. Why dont you post up some of your own work so we can judge your welds. :y

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

tight spaces? get a rope idiot. thats about as open a space as youll ever weld,. especially that downpipe.

shitty bottom line. i know it sucks to hear but reality is a bitch ,

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

^^^agreed

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

topic over, thread closed. if ^^ he agrees, man, it must be right.

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

i dont care what u guys think of my welds. i know for a fact that that ---- wont ever break. this is low budget setup that josh put together, im happy to be helping him out with it.

oh, and all you haters, post up your welds

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

No one cares what you think :o

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

yuo will be lucky to see 190whp on that ---- setup

Re: Adding external gate to the Squarefold
 

holy noob thread batman. man, the noobs here hate yo ---- man, you should go kill yourself. I haven't been around long but godDAMN my first couple posts weren't critiqueing others ----.
