yeah, i've never done individual flanges before, it wasn't too bad going together, it gave me a tiny bit more flexibility when welding the runners since i like to weld one completely before i move onto the next one.

i don't imagine it will be coming off too often once it is on the engine it is going on. i should have some pics of it installed for a mock up for the external wg soon.

here is the fixture for the second one:

Looks like its for an e46 M3 with the individual flanges. What kind of price would you charge for a normal e46 325 manifold with t3 flange? Possibly even a log for cheapness factor? My buddies got a 2003 325ci e46 and he is really wanting to turbo, and was wanting me to weld him a log, but Im not even close to being confident enough to trust my mig welding skills to hold up on something like that lol. VERY nice work, some of those bmw fuckers pay upwards of a *couple of grand* for some of the turbo mani's for their cars. Thats ballin though, try making a market on bmwpsi.com, im sure youd be able to sell'em like hot cakes for a decent price.

just to clear up any confusion this manifold is for a E30 chassis/ M20 motor.

Hm.. that looks familiar.


Looks really good Mr. Weir. Definitely get pictures of the car. Boosted Benzos are so hot.
