Looks good Todd..

 

nice!

and yeah just prop up a wastegate where it would
go and take a pic, that'll get the "picture" across(pun intended, hehe).

 

Some good looking stuff

 

That crap is so typical of your workmanship. Clean installs, beautiful buttery welds, big turbos, bling designs... *yawn* Why can't you turn out anything interesting?


lol

 

WEll unless I can get your ---- clean I am about to have a blobby intercooler coming your way.. I'm gonna try to hose that thing down with some brake clean and see if it will get the oil and grime off it so I can get a decent weld from it.

 

mmmmm...purty...

 

god damn... teach me!

 

wheres the wastegate going to go. if for sale let us know, other than that very nice full race style

 

You say the sweetest things to me... I know they make a nice aluminum surface prep chemical, it was pink and smelled wierd is all I remember. Might call the welding shop? I dunno. I know a guy who was having a lot better luck using it with some old broken bicycle frames he was practicing with, some of which were a little greasy.

The wastegates usually get ported off the collector, the GS-R one I'd guess goes off toward the side since it's a wide radiator friendly install.

And it's not Full-Race style. That design has been floating around for a number of years now. Todd (Ford guy) showed me the old Kooks (big in the Ford aftermarket) style manifolds back in the day after a discussion of the 2.3T on the jyturbo@yahoogroups.com mailing list. September 2001, before Geoff of Full-Race made his first manifold of this design, I was in Todd's garage duct taping mild steel schedule 40 els together into that configuration. It's a real easy answer to fitting a tubular manifold in an small area, lots of people come to that conclusion on more than just Hondas.

 

cool manifold.
