I had a local performance shop fabricate it up for about 250 bucks, I thought it was kinda steep but for the 42 hp gain (dyno proven) it was worth it. What do you guys think?

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

are you fucken kidding me? bull ---- 42 hp gain :-X

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

you mean 42hp gain because now you can bolt a turbo up to your head?

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

uhhhhhh, i'm just dumbfounded. :-\

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

Is this some kind of lame attempt at humor?

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

I think you're missing some flanges on that shitstain :-X

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

....wtf ???

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

hope so :-\

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

where does the turbo bolt up at??

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

i remember Xgenturbo was gona attempt this, but everyone flammed him so i dont think he did :P

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

Hahaha... only on HMT would people actually think this isn't a joke!

You never know, it might work! Slap a few flanges on there and you're good to go!

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

OMG that's hideous

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

put it on your car and use it. i would

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

it looks like kazoo hahaha

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

you paid for that? I wouldnt have even paid for that ----. any pictures of it on your car.

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

its not just the mani thats confuesing people, its the title and the description he gave

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

I think I've pooped out things similar shape to that, you should call it "the turd" ^-^

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

Are you selling them? I'll take one

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

lets dee the dyno sheet.... :P

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

I will make one for you. $300 shipped.

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

I will make you one for 50 bucks, this was obviously a joke, come on, (yeah Kuuumar, bust your ass!)

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

The sad thing is that it could probably push 160whp no problem. ---- I'll test it if you send it to me.

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

hmmm, i think those patented anti revision chambers really would keep any exhuast from contaminating your intake charge and make 10,000 horsepower on any d series, with the addition of a few apc stickers ;D

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

the funniest thing is that it looks soldered together not welded :-X

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

;D great manifold

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

Damn I'd rock that thing! If it hold a turbo onto my car and works thats cool with me. As Malcolm X once said "By any means necessary!"

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

I bet they're threaded ;)

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

serious ghetto ass ----

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

some serious ghetto ----. Should have used duct tape!!

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

i took a poop once....looked exactly like that. no joke.

Hah.

Kumar, what is that? like 5 o's, or 6 u's?

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

You got it. Thats cause its a mundo monster fuel rail guys.

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

whoever built that needs to get beat with a pipe.
oh wait. just beat em with that manifold.

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

here u go taylor, i uploaded the dyno chart u asked me to of the hp gains from that manifold- pretty impressive if i do say so myself... you're definitely gonna have to make one for me!

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

HEY??? THese are plumbery fittings! Yes, the fittings CERTAINLY were threaded but he machined the threads off.
The biggest prolem is that this type of plumbery fitting is high in chrome content, which is precipitating at the boundaries of the heat affected zone of welding, creating a weak spot that you can consider as a warranty of failure under thermo cycles and vibration.
Some vanadium in the base metal AND the weld metal will help reduce the Cr segregation but something tells me that it is not the case here. ;D

The sad thing is that at the plumbery shop where these fittings were bought, some much more appropriate ones were certainly available. To make a good manifold, you need LOW carbide steel that is meant to be welded. I have a OLD picture of one that I made using some plumbery fittings. It's 5 years old and it's still in use, producing over 300WHP. May look getho but makes the job:

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

No youre wrong, I still am till the Ont HMT meet, then i'm gonna buy some Shed10 and some flanges of Aaron and get a ramhorn welded up.

Re: expensive custom made racing turbo manifold
 

Where are you goning to pick those up? Locally?
