Hotrex signature manifold preview!(UPDATED)
 

Josh came to my shop at work tonight and we planned out his manifold for his Integra. He is going to match fit the pipes and weld it together during the week. Here are some preview pics.

Heres the man himself working the piece of ---- chop saw I have.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

looks good.

can you not swap in a half radiator? then you could go ramhorn style.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

do you know where to get a good half size aluminum radiator for cheap?

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

Ebay.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

I just bought a brand new stock eg 1/2 size dual core for $12 on Ebay

Is this Josh's shop? mani looks pretty cool

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

Sweet manifold. :o

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

where is the external wastegate flange??? that might help done you think?

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

I beleive the manifold will need to be welded up first before you think about where the external gate is going to go at.

Me personally, I'd go right on the exhaust housing of the turbo.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

just wanna thank dave for helpin me out tonight, ne love baby, well call this manifold,

NIGGAPLEASE, JUNGLE FEVER EDITION :-*

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

That looks like fun. I really need to geta chop saw and learn how to weld.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

Looking good so far...

but I'd suggest that you use 3 elbows from each of the middle 2 ports. Start with one facing up, then out, then down into the top, so they shoot directly down into the turbo. This will not only avoid the drastically divergent angles you currently have as these two ports join the others, but will also make it a bit closer to being equal length.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

We were going for quick and easy. Not to mention fitting in the car. You can't see in the picture but the flange is offest towards the drivers side to clear the radiator fan.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

what happened to the equal length mani's??? i could have sworn a couple people already paid you for them, shouldn't you be knocking those out first ???

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

people will never learn....

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

haha... very nice!

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

I think you should call it the Nignog manifold, and weld nignog on that ----!

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

Kevin I haven't taken any orders for Mani's nor do I plan to. Josh on the other hand has started WOT's mani already and has the collector already done. ;)

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

Bring your hole saw!

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

WEIR if you do come up with a ext WG flange adapter thing i would deffinatly wont 1 so if you make 1 let me know ill test it but thats what ive been looking for ;D plz keep us updated

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

lookin good guys. cant wait to see the fished product sunday :D

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

No I meant like right off the back of the housing, similar to this..

Beau did this to his race car and so did cadracer on his sbc project.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

i was talking to josh ;)

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

being taken care of as we speak buck-o

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

would this really work putting the wastegate on the downpipe i am really not sure if it would keep me in touch if it does

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

its not on the downpipe, its off the exhaust housing..

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

did you not see the pics i put up? i thought it was pretty self explanitory... mounting the wg to the dp flange, not the dp itself. mount it over the wg opening on the exhaust housing and routing the wg exhaust directly into the dp. nice and tidy.

josh, is this your plan? i'm assuming so... or are you going to weld it to the exaust housing like in jeff's example with beau's setup?

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

It seems like a good idea since it hard sometimes to get a flange on the mani for the wg. Damn thick steel is hard to cut. I wonder how well it would work going from 20mm to 35mm.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

i think i might try it. i'll let you know, although i have nothing to compare it against.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

ive seen it done on a few different setups on the web. and a tig welder is the tool of choice when weldinging a external wastgate to the exhaust housing.

Beau

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

Wow thats a great idea, are there any downsides to that method? Ive never even heard of it before

Nice flanges aaron

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

If I have any say in it. We are not ------- up his SC61 by welding a flange to it. Josh is coming up to my shop on Thursday night and we will finish it up and put the waste gate flange on the mani. Pics to follow....stay tuned.

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!
 

if you're going to run it back in to the exhasut, you should do it a little further down and make sure it's at a very slight angle, as close to parallel as possible so you don't interrupt the flow of the exhaust

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview! (update)
 

Josh just left my shop. Here are some new pics.

First I slipped with a carbide drum wrasp and totalled 2 fingers.

In between tig sessions we cut his bumper support to fit his big ass Greddy FMIC.

Holy ---- thats big! Like a glove!

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg

It was getting late so he is finishing at his father's shop in the morning. This is what he left with. It should turn out a bit more polished and ready to party!

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!(UPDATED)
 

for someone that complains about people coping manifolds Im surprised you chose that style to copy. lol just joking good luck with your manifold making.
ps: get a gas lens for that tig if you dont have one

Re:Hotrex signature manifold preview!(UPDATED)
 

I didn't know shitty was a manifold style :P



Keep it real Hotsex ;)
