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 are the two 180's.

All done.

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.

Titties! Thats sweet!

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

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.

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

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 :)

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

looks nice

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

Looks nice, but im glad that you cut up a "jasma header". Jasma = Japan Auto Sport Muffler Association. :1
Its kinda like a DOT stamp on a tire. well, really its the same thing. ;)
Dot= tires
JASMA=exhaust

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

------- bad ass, I bet it flows really well

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

Never knew that.

I didn't cut up the header. I cut the flange from the b-pipe. It will mount up to any b-series header.

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

That look great :y .This seams to be the new HMT method for a top mount but at least your is nice quality welds.

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

I do have to give madmax props because the first one he made was D AND B Series compatible! :y

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

how much did you spent on the manifold, total? That ---- looks clean as hell. I might try to build one myself. :y Isnt it better to angle the wastgate upwards with the flow of the manifold?

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

could this be AC compatable?

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

you should swap that b-series into the taurus in teh backround, now that would be totally titties :P

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

sweet! ;)

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

Total without counting gas, would be about $55, only because I bought the T3 flange for 25. It is a very nice flange though.


I would be doable. You would just clock the compressor (turbo) so it faces forward so the charge pipe would go around the A/C compressor. Also the wastegate would need to relocate and a pusher fan on the condenser. The return line would also need to be relocated a little bit.



Thanks Mike.

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

Very solid work, thumbs up

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

i agree it is good looking and they do flow well...i wasnt saying i was the first one to do it, but i think i was the first to use an aftermarket header to do it....iv seen a couple made but they were all on the factory header

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

sweet

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

Thanks, you should hook me up on some metal now that you got that pimp ass job. ;)

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

Where are you located at? Wanna make me one? I need a manifold for t3/t4.

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani
 

SoCal. Let me know. You can buy this one.


I didn't make for anyone's car in particular. I'll put it on my friends EG with LS/V and make the DP and then post pics of that.

Re: B-Series Elephant Mani

BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!!!!!

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

so is the header
still holdin together?

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

The B-series one was never installed in any car, but my 16 guage mild steel d-series one (painted black one) has been on three cars I think so far.

Used on my car for 5-6 months, then sold to a friend and he ran it for a couple months, then sold it to someone else. Who knows where it is now. That thing is a champ.
