---- yes!

Re: First ever manifold - Migged log
 

Me three. My manifold I MIG'd with cast steel fittings still hasn't cracked, and its carrying the turbo's full weight and has the added stress of a recirculated dump w/o a flex on it. Solid.

Re: First ever manifold - Migged log
 

So I done a bit more welding.

Sorry for the crap phone camera pics again.

Attachment 21804
My super jig to stop my flange from warping!

Attachment 21805
Tacked on just incase

Attachment 21806
Attachment 21807
Attachment 21808
Tacked on the runners

Attachment 21809
Welded runners 2 and 3 first

Attachment 21810
All Welded up

Just need to clean up the splatter and weld on the Turbo flange. Also need to weld on the wastegate flange.. still figuring it out.

thanks for looking.

Re: First ever manifold - Migged log
 

nice job. i'd definitely rock that.

Re: First ever manifold - Migged log
 

good job man! what did you use to cut the holes in the 90's for the 2 & 3 runners? holesaw?

Re: First ever manifold - Migged log
 

I used a plasma cutter for that. I took the manifold off the jig and there's no warpage so I'm pretty pleased with that. Next is the wastegate flange and T3 flange. Not sure which order to do it first. Once that's done I'll completely clean up the splatter.

Re: First ever manifold - Migged log
 

It's almost done.

Just need to fully weld up the t3 flange and the waste gate flange.
