hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

where do you get most of your supplies from? i'm making my own manifolds and would liek to know where i can get parts cheap to make one :)

Jeff-

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

weld els from www.mcmaster.com

and flanges from typert (in our classifieds)

turbos and stuff like that... thats a secret.. ;)

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Guys if I ever manage to figure out dreamweaver and get my website up I will have all the manifold building parts you need for sale. I can pretty much kill McMaster's pricing and I have good prices on all the flanges also. For example I can get a 90degree 316L weld el for $6.15. Compare that to McMaster. If anyone knows anything about dreamweaver and would like to lend a hand I would appreciate it.

think we are paying $4.20 for our 1.5in 304 stainless weld els..

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?

Those look like schedule 40 not schedule 10. I'm not trying to be difficult... ; ::)

Can you host that pic so it shows. Not sure why it doesn't work for me.

uhm, I am confident they are schedual 10.. I have a bunch at my house.

if you want to keep asking me if I am sure, thats fine ?

Jeff

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

you sure man.. ;D

Well so what are the thickness of them so I can compare to mine.. I was under the impresson that 10 was pretty thin wall. The ones I have are just a hair over 1/8" thick.

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

schedual 10 is pretty thick, we were worried they would be thin too.. but, they are think, guessing 1/8th in thick..

Jeff

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Jeff I found some specs. Schedule 10 has a wall thickness of .109" and schedule 40 is .145"

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Jeff just curious if you talked to the full race guys and what they use? He always throws around 8 guage but I'm curious what schedule it is..

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

that guy doesnt like us... so I have no clue.. lol

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

yeah as you can imagine I am on his bad side also. I'd like to compare the 10 to 40. Are any of you guys located near Mechanicsburg Pa 17055. I wouldn't mind getting together some time.

Todd

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

well, if todd's numebr are right, we're only talking about a .036" of a difference; which works out to be just BARELY over 1/32nd of an inch. (1.152/32 to be EXACT)

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

I know the size is close and the cost is alot less for the schedule 10. I would like to have them in my hand to actually compare how they look. I might start running the lighter ones.

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Hey jeff..how many of those do I need to complete a manifold? well, log style to start with :)

Jeff-

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Log style, you should need two 90 degree el's and two Tee's.

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

not sure... ask blacksi (beau) he would know..

my guess is like 16..

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Do any of you guys know if they sell these ells from Grainger? I have a business account with them, and it would be much easier to buy from them than from McMaster.

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

damn..i checked out that macmaster website..jesus christ, how do i know which one to get? any tips guys?

Jeff-

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

if you read my posts in this thread, I specify thicknesses, material and even a part number?

:-\

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

i saw that..but where is the t fitting for the middle manifold? i wanna weld me a log style manifodl to start with...that equal length one is outta my league :)

Jeff-

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Do a search for stainless butt weld then go to the catalog page. all the fittings are in the same section.

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Just curious, why stainless, why not carbon steel. Is it better able to hold the heat? The regular steel is cheaper, thats why I asked.

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

ss is the best to use it handles heat better and allows you to use thinner pipies.
you guys are realy worried about nothing with the 10 guage lots of manifolds are made form alot thinner stuff
look at jeffs raqce manifold its thinner than schedule 10
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_.../60-1_race_ZC/
in fact 10 is probly a bit to thick but is much cheaper than the real thin ss that is suposed to be used. :-\

Beau

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

LOL, isn't that the truth.

Fast and Furious doesn't like anyone with the skills to realize $1200 for one of his manifolds is a ---- in the ass.

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

hahahah..jeff (from full-race) is a cool guy, his manifold might be expensive, but it's worth it since he does pretty good welding job. The guy is tryign to protect his business secret..taht's all

Jeff-

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Man, Geoff is an ass. Your smoking some serious crack if you think $1200 is worth it because he has a profesional welder put together $150 worth of parts. You have been listening to his crap for too long.

What business secret is he trying to protect?

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Well, maybe there isn't any secret to why his manifold is better than others. However, I spoke to him several times and he's a pretty cool guy. Let him do his thing and you do yours. Maybe one day that i practice on my manifold enough, i'll make a better manifold than him :P

Jeff-

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

His "full race" manifolds are not even equal length. He thought that he was the ---- because he patent that design or something, even though
Iceman came out with a design for hondas almost over 4 years ago.. the guys a cock end of story

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Where is a pic of this mysterious manifold we're talking about?

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

actually..AXZ designed that ---- and he copied off them.

Jeff-

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Maybe if you looked through the site.. ass :P

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

Jeff's right, my post was out of line.

I did say I had a big ego, didn't I? ;)

Re:hmt peeps, where you get your hm supplies?
 

i know geoff got a big ego but damn, didn't know he was like that :-X btw, how did we get from me asking you guys what supplies to get until war against geoff? :)
