B-Series Elephant Mani (Now with Dyno, but for the D-Series)
 

I made this a couple weeks ago and I'm bored today, so here it is.



The victim was this thick wall JASMA header. Some of them are made from thin SS. This one is a little thicker.

This is the flange from a b-series bipe. I have never seen the b-pipe made out of SS from Honda, so it won't be shiny. :S

I got a little creative and welded the flange section on some plate so I could cut the pipes off nice and straight with the HF chop saw. ;D

Here it is mounted on the block. The turbo is an SC60 with a 0.48 A/R for my D, but I made sure a 0.63 wouldl fit as well.

Got it as close to the block as I could. Had to fit in an EG too you know.

Try again buddy. Your post of when you made yours was in May.

Here is the first one I made. Made it first week of April the week after I got my welder. I actually got the idea in december after whiterice mentioned it and then when I saw the that guy on HT made, it just reinforced it as the first thing I should ever weld.

So your not the first one either. lol

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

Right, the first one I saw was from the guy who made it on HT. I give him major props. I thought it was a sweet idea and so I made a couple myself.

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

I made one like, 5 years ago, no joke. I own all of you. :l










Nice job though. Came out clean :)
