needs flanges (i was thinking i'd just weld it to the head using the new alu-stainless tig rods they came out with, but that's a bit permanent) and sandblast.

sandblasted and weld partially ground down.

bleh

Re: yet another manifold...
 

not bad

Re: yet another manifold...
 

welding it strait to the head? that cant be good..

Re: yet another manifold...
 

LS heads are a dime a dozen, do it.

Re: yet another manifold...
 

I like it. :D

Re: yet another manifold...
 

Looks nice, bet it was a bitch welding the runners to the collector. :) Good job

Later

Re: yet another manifold...
 

Looks the same as the one that we made for my partners b16. Nice Job. Ah go straight to the head!!! No warping flanges.

Re: yet another manifold...
 

I want to hear more about this welding AL to stainless...

Re: yet another manifold...
 

You know they are kidding.

Re: yet another manifold...
 

Are you sure he's kidding 8)

Re: yet another manifold...
 

Ill give you a flange 1/2 off, just dont weld that directly to the head, lol.

Re: yet another manifold...
 

Didnt Jeffs turbo Kia have a manifold lookin like this or was it different?

Re: yet another manifold...
 

what kinda tube is those? diameter? tickness?

Re: yet another manifold...
 

Shh.....

Re: yet another manifold...
 

I will sell u a flange for shiped

Re: yet another manifold...
 

Yah i sorta took jeff's reverse ramhorn he made for the Kia, but since i built this POS from memory, then checked out jeff's, it's a little different.

PS the welds suck, i wanted to cheet and do just one pass; shoulda done a base fusion pass, then a final pass with filler, back purging the whole thing on both passes... next time i guess.

Oh i used Sch.10 1.5" weld els and piping, all 304 ss.
Flanges are just not on yet, i got em, but thanks anyway

ANNNNDDD, i'm serious about the ALu stainless rod..... :l

Re: yet another manifold...
 

thats sweet looking manifold. but how are you sure its going to fit the flange by welding it without the flange? did you use a gasket to get it lined up?

Re: yet another manifold...
 

I think you should cut it up and start over it sucks ;D JK. When you installing that on Peters car then? I think you should grind the welds and start over Hacky Mchackerson...................





Its pretty sweet in person i must say hes getting better at it thats for sure....................

---- that... duct tape, JB weld, and bubble gum... and not the cheap bubble gum that falls apart after 2 minutes of chewing... gotta get the good stuff like BubbleYum :y

new pics at top....

Re: yet another manifold...UPDATE MORE PICS
 

they are the same? :o look awersome!

Re: yet another manifold...UPDATE MORE PICS
 

That looks darn good, hope when i get my tig i can do that one day,

say how close are those runners to being equal length?

Re: yet another manifold...UPDATE MORE PICS
 

thats better wastegate placement than ive seen in a long time. Notice how the exhaust flow merges off to the wastegate instead of either making a 90* or 180* turn to go out the wastegate as in most other manifolds. Pretty good design and he will get more power with less creep then most other manifolds also.

Re: yet another manifold...UPDATE MORE PICS
 

Looks nice!!

I really really really wish I knew how to weld so I could build my own manifold :'(

Re: yet another manifold...UPDATE MORE PICS
 

me to but i think you gotta be a patient person wich i'm not

Re: yet another manifold...UPDATE MORE PICS
 

Looks good man! i've built a log mani for my car, i know the work that goes into it.. got alot of respect for you guys building these crazy manifolds
