OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

I was just going to tack it together and have a friend weld it off b/c he's a whole lot better at welding than I am, but I wouldn't get the satisfaction of doing it my self, so I did it, looks crappy, but I know the welds are strong. I havn't welded the turbo flange on yet b/c I haven't mounted it to test fit it, but that's coming in a few weeks. getting close, I'm excited!! ;D

Sweet, I love that feeling of building something yourself that actually works. lol

Re:Made my log manifold this evenning
 

faster with the picts! lol

wtf got me all excited...!

how do you know the welds are strong??

youve got 12 hours.... :)

wussup with the ------ pics?

hurry up fucker ;D

Happy now?

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

much better :)

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

hook it up to the car the way it is now, start it up, i wana see what happens?

na man, it looks wicked, that sucha sexy log syle.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

cool man, looks real good. how much experience did you have welding? my boy wants me to weld him a mani for his 240, i told him not to expect anything beautiful, now i can give him something to expect cause that's prolly how mine will look to ;)

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

Well, lets say you can coun't how many times I've welded with my two hands :)

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

that flange is lookin pret...wait its not that there...you should jbweld that turbo on there...true hmt style :)

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

looks pretty good.

good job!

where'd you get the flange?

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

I got the head flange from BMC racing and I had a local machine shop make my t25 flange.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

where'd you get the weld els from?

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

that looks good.. two questions though.
1. what type of pipe did you use?
2. i think you welded too much.. wheres the turbo go? ;)

Looks good though, I'd hit that :)

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

I bought the weld els from a plumbing store, $34, and they are 40 schedule steel 1 1/2" thick. I havn't welded the turbo flange on yet b/c I want to put it on my engine so I know exactly what angle and and position to put it, I"m keeping my a/c,thats why I made it in the first place.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

1 1/2" in diameter I think you mean, not thick. Looks good I think, just get it powerdercoated or whatever when you are done!
What car is this going on with what turbo.... a friend of mine is going to make my mani for t3 and 99 Integra keeping the ac.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

looks good...

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

Yes, 1 1/2 diameter, ment to say that.. I think powdercoating will melt under the heat. I had a shifter that was powdercoated and I did some welding on it, and it melted it all around where I welded it, and the manifold is gonna get a whole lot hotter than that. It's going on my 93 civic coupe.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

Is that 1 1/2 OD and 1 1/4 ID? Thats what I am getting I think.... just wnat to make sure thats what you have too. What turbo are you using?

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

It looks awesome :o :o :o

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

i was thinking of making one out of copper

u think it can survive the heat?

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

how do you figure? obviously welding creates enough heat to melt the metals you are welding, and everybody on here doesn't seem to have a problem with their manifolds melting off of their engines.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

Those welds look really nice man.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

yeah, those grinds look really good man ;)

Re:Made my log manifold this evenning
 

you toss that ---- to the ground. if it don't break it's a good weld ;) -- ooh btw nice manifold.

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

hey pa2play i commend you on your work. Nice job. If you want ill send blast it for you, just ship it my way and pay for shipping back. Gj

Re:OK OK PICS up of my manifold I started making.
 

Actually I have a sand blaster, thanks for the offer. I know the welds are strong b/c I turned the heat up on that 220 welder and just soaked that weld in the crack a really long time ;D just to make sure....then I hit it with a hammer a few times. :)
