paper cutout of collector cut?
 

I cant find the picture somebody made to use as a template for a collector cut, anyone have it or know where it is?

it wasnt a collector cut, it was how to cut a pipe to be flat when placed against another pipe at a certian angle. it called tube coping.
and here it is (look in the stickies)

hmm.. thats pretty cool., but there was one posted for a collector.. something I dont think that program can handle..

it was on honda-tech.. RMF posted it I think

i have it saved someplace, when i find it i'll host/post it

what's the particulars of your collector... I can have it drawn up in Auto-Cad here quickly and post you the unfolded shapes...

for instance....

this one is for a 38mm OD tube at a 20º inclination to the perpendicular of the flange. 4 of them obviously...

You can use this and just scale to match for any diameter tube, but the shape will change if the inclinations needs to change...

i can't find the one i had. must've got deleted when they had my laptop in for service. :/
hopefully someone else has it and can repost it again

i'm sorry, but that paper cut out is going to make for an awful lot of waste for whoever uses it. anyone with half a brain will realize it is going to make the collector come down to a single point like a 4 sided pyramid and have to cut the end off it for the port to match the turbo flange. this might work if you have a circular port on the turbo flange you are using, but otherwise it isn't going to be much help. i'm working on a writeup for an alternative way to make them that works for me.

LOL I was like "how could this be useful if the tube is circle"... I think I need to sleep a bit...

Re: paper cutout of collector cut?
 

hmmm well ok.... how's this then...

obviously just as useless to someone that might have a turbo with a round hole... ;D

a combination of 2 inclinations to form an oval port that will match a T25-T28 Flange. in this case 15º and 11º

Pipe Diameter is 38mm

well ok not exactly oval, but damn near close enough to be perfect.

the cutouts width is still 119.7 mm obviously....

Re: paper cutout of collector cut?
 

I've never used it. I just happen to come across the same thread from H-T. I have no patient in making collectors. That is why people like you are around to make it for me......

20 Degree collector. Size as appropriate O0

Re: paper cutout of collector cut?
 

^^^ atleast that cutout compensates for the angle required on the bottom of the pipe. i'd like to see someone test this.

Re: paper cutout of collector cut?
 

You could make me a collector with it ;D

Re: paper cutout of collector cut?
 

Thanks captain obvious. Likewise it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize all you need to do is move it towards the end of a pipe to not waste the pipe. I'm also not a fan of making the merged end perfect until after welding - 1/4" of waste at most isn't enough to cry about...at least for the volume HMT viewers will be doing. Any way you look at it, there will be some waste.
