I decide to do a simple write up on how to put a log manifold together, it seams like that's the most popular manifold on HMT so here we go.


This is what you would need for a basic log manifold for internal wg turbo. I recommand going with stainless steel, 1st, it looks better and will keep looking better for a long time, 2nd it doesn't cost much more than mild steel.

Obviously you're gonna need 2 90* bends, and two T's, you can find them at McMaster.com, a t3 or your choice of outlet flange, then header flange.


You're going to have to do a little trimming for everything to fit.

This is how I determine where to cut. Put the first T on where it suppose to go.

Then lined up the next T below it, then use something to mark both of the T, that's where you're gonna make your cuts.

If you did everything right, the cut should be in the center and right above the hole for the bolt

You're gonna do the same thing to the T in order for it to fit with the 90*

After 4 cuts, 2 on each T, you should get something like this

Weld it up and you should have something like this, I ran out of time so I haven't put the outlet flange on yet.



Enjoy and have fun.

 

SWEET!

Since this is a How to.... what electrode are you using in your Tig, what filler and how thick, and what amperage do you use?

The material is sc40, on first pass I was at 90ish amp, second pass i was about 60 amp. 3/32 electrode with 3/32 filler. Hope that helps.

 

nice writeup and gorgeous welds

 

what about the rest
put that on the car start it and stand back

 

where the ---- ar eht pics at

 

for some reason the site was down, but they're all there now

 

nice.

 

Nice write-up Vince. It's not HMT if you use rulers and stuff, though. It's all about "eyeballin" it.

 

nice write up man. how would u go about puttin the flange on?
