some more solidedge performance fun.
 

yea bored at work again.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

you just made SSAC erect......but good job on the drawings though

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

At school we learn catia instead of solidedge or solidwork. I don't know why because there arent much buisness that can afford it...
Anyway, I'm not in mechanical engineering anymore, so I don't really give a ---- lol

Nice work dude! :6

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

some more designs ive though of, its a top mount side winder for a zetec focus. this time the piping is the actual butt-welds that ace stainless carries.

didnt make a collector for it yet tho.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

Now heres something for you to pose.


How ya gunna weld the inside of that without it leaking.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

and now we see the difference between engineers and people that know what they are doing.... :6

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

not many people in america still know how to make anything....mainly beacause the u.s. doesnt produce anything

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

Weld the inside of all 4 together and then use a slip on external type collector.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

that just shows your ignorance. Lets see how much material you scrap exploring new concepts. It takes experience to build something yes, but with experience that engineer will be a hell of a lot more efficient than someone without those 3d tools.

Now a computer jokey that never gets feedback and thus experience maybe, but I'm betting kamilk is just starting to explore mani design by the sound of his post. Lets see some 'guy that knows what he's doing' that can weld but never made a mani bust off a A+ first shot without wasting 3 manis worth of material.

'dude, that manifold looks awesome!'
'yeah, it took me 40ft of pipe to figure it out'

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

haha... its really not that hard.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

it is for the people that model ---- in 3d programs all day, never build a manifold, then try to build one from the drawing

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

CS welding between the runners, and welding a slip-on collector can be done. Unfortunately you can not weld every inside seam of a slip on collector - leaving you with big leaks.
sten most newbies are going to waste during the process??? Afew inches of staight pipe and at most one $5 bend.

The point you're making about 3D modeling IS valid, yet NOT when it comes to doing anything on this type of scale.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

you guys are ------- hilarious, im just ------- around with solidedge, i know that i personally couldnt fab that manifold i was ust having fun and trying out new ----.

but if i were to make a ramhorn i could acuratly tell you exactly how much straight tubing you would need and bends and any od type bends that would needed to be cut.

if i honestly wanted to build that manifold, each runner would be welded then i would use a burns stainless slip on collector. or a home made collector would have a angle on each runner which would allow you to weld on the inside.

solidegde is just a tool that help you visualize and create new sytles of parts, in the end its how much a person knows about welding and fabrication to make one.

i rather spend a few hours in a nice cool clean envirment with my feet up, then sitting infront of a chop saw all day trying to figure the perfect length of straight that i need.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

sw ftw... move to the birmingham area right now and i'll get you a job building patio chairs, haha. catia is the one program i wish i would have learned but that whole fall of US auto companys kinda ruins it. i run on solidworks all day. i was thinking about making a mani, can someone get me specs on the flange?

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

which engine?

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

im running z6 right now, have b16 in the front bedroom of my apt and wanna go H2B soon :d so any of them.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

i have a b series flange in my garage ill draw it up tomorow.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

sweet, im to lazy to bring in my mani, and draw it up :D

since i started having a real yab, i don't work on the car :(
