My 1st ramhorn type manifold......
 
Hey guys check out my 1st ramhorn for my corolla, I finally bought a smiley tig and
this was my 1st time on te tig aswell 4 hours total time tig welding so it's not a looker.
Anyways I hope you guys like it.
PS ou guys think that turbo is enough for 400hp??? it's a turbonetics t3/t4 stage 3 I think
with .60 front and .63 back. I got 310 out of it so far but that was with a mini elf maifold at 18psi
so hopefully I can atleast get 350hp by upgrading the manifold.

I figured you guys would say that, anyways I dont have any recent pics but heres some from
about a year ago or so. You guys have seen it before but here it goes.
BTW the engine shot was how the recent setup looked but the manifold sucked at high rpm's.

absolutely awesome ;D 4ag? I used to be a toyota guy, but they hurt the wallet a hell of a lot more than a honda :y

btw- that mani is sick. I tried making my own, but i couldnt bust out a nice collector on the chop saw. I suck at life though ::)

Sweet first mani. Try to keep the tungsten clean. I can see where you dabbed the tungsten and kept riding. ALways clean it if you dab or contaminate it.

Is your intercooler as large as it looks in that front picture of your car? If so that thing is HUUUUUUGE!

neat car though, good to see some variety, and nice job on the manifold.

Thanx guys, I tried to not touch the tungsten but I guess I have to practice more.
Also does wiping the pipes with acetone really make a big difference???
Oh well I guess I'll just keep practicing.
PS that intercooler is as big as it looks but only 2" thick, so now I have a shorter but
thicker and taller core.
