Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

OK well im almost done.... the hardest part is over cutting and guessing and all that bullshit... just need to cut and weld the collector together.... but i need to see at what angle the turbos gonna sit at...

Well I only fucked it up twice... had ordered 4 short radis bends and the rest were all long... so i welded extensions... and then cut them... and they were to short... so i had to fix them.... I ended up spending roughly 150$ on materials and what not... but I know what i did wrong... and i know how to do it better the next time...

Heres some pics... just imagine it with a collector....

Enjoy... Ps... my welds are getting better....

Looks great so far...Keep going.

Edit: What are your plans for the collector?

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!!
 

1/8 in steel plates.... cut into a box xhape to connect all 4 pipes on one end... and then have it merge seamlesly into the T3 flange...

Great project.

Looks good Albert. It really doesn't look that bad for your first weld. The manifold looks well thought out too.
What's the word on those bottles?

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

Thanks... steve...

I guess i just have to ---- with the settings to get it to weld right... Just more practice.... and i should be in the mix..... hopefully ill get it done by this weekend... So i can find out how much pipig im gonna need..

Got my contact working on the getting a cylinder suppplier... I asked him how much he can get them for if i bought 10 (10lb) bottles...

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

fyi: if you buy a bottle, make sure to get papers with it or some places wont fill it

manifold looks good, but now that youve welded those parts to the flange, isnt it going to be tough to make the rest?

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

Nice stuff man. I want a welder. But damn they cost too much. If I had a welder I'd....

Just wish I had one. :'(

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

I got it on credit.... Lowes had a 6months same as cash deal.... so i jumped on it... already paid 300.... half the amount for the welder and chopsaw......

If you need ---- done... let me know.... arrange a weekend or something to help out local HMT'rs

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

Dude that'd be sweet! Mos definitely let you know if I need some weldin' done. Your time and equipment will be compensated with either cash (highly dependant on the bill status), parts (if i have anything useful), and good ole fashion food (can't ever get enough of that). :P

Yeah I actually thought about getting one on credit, but then I thought to myself, do I really need to owe more money? I owe 6grand and that's all credit cards and a same loan and I don't make ---- working (literally don't make ----). ---- I'm still paying off debt from when I was 17, that's 3.5 years ago. Credit is no longer my friend.

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

damn...... thats why i told myself i would pay these tools off quick.... Im probably quiting my second job sometime soon.... so i can have my weekends free again... to start building ----.....

Just let me know when you start your ----... cause i need all the practice i can get.

Im actually getting better at this ----... the welds are looking more like a stack of shinny dimes instead of chewed up BB pellets....

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

Where did you buy those bends?

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

Mc-Masters

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

you my friend are PI to the ----------in MP with your welding :)

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

thanks man... i still have a ---- load of work to do... seeing how i fucked it up and had to cut it.. and reweld it... and it isnt looking so pretty.... but ---- it its a prototype... its not supposed to look pretty... just work... and not fall to peices.... probably gonna brace it or something....

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

is that the 135 mig from lowes?

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

Word from the Wise, make sure it's easy to install. It's really easy to get carried away and have only 1" to bolt it on.

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!)
 

Yeah it is... i wanted the 175... but it was a little too much/... Probably gonna finish it up tonight....

It should fit... ill take pics with tu rbo mounted....

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

Almost done bitches....!!!

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!

:P

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

damn, looks good man :o, but i hope you mocked it up b/c it looks like it's gonna stick out pretty far. is this your first manifold/real welding experience??

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

I'm jealous, I'm gonna go buy a welder ....

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

That looks nice, real nice

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

:'( That smilie's not crying, it's drooling. Looks good man, real good. Crap seat's wet, gotta move to another chair.

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

nice...very nice...

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

lookin good

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

that is ------- sick. i love welding... it is fun to make ---- ;D

Re:Projecto Manifoldo Porfavoro!!! (Pix!!) Update!!
 

This is my actual first experience with a real welder.....

Used a shitty wirefeed once... that thing welded like ass...

Yes this camera sucks....

And I did no prior mockup.. or anything.... everything was just kinda made on the fly... and it fits perfectly...

and no its not AC compatible.

I started the COllector... but now im thinking i should have just used some more pipe... but i couldnt cause i only ordered 1foot... for the collector i used 1/8in steel I cut from my steps in the garage.....


If anyone wants one... or whatever... just let me know.. we can work something out....
