ramhorn manifold
 

just curious as to what pieces i should be ordering if i am making a homemade ramhorn? i got a pretty good idea, just want to know how many 90's/45's/ whatever else i'll have to order so i get all the right ----. thanks for the help

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

Like 15 90's 2 45's and piece of straight pipe.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

seriously?

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

12 90-deg bends... not 15... otherwise, yea, he's serious... hehe.

[edit] Maybe 13 bends if you want to have a 90 deg bend for your WG... but if you just go straight out, then only 12 are needed.[/edit]

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

um, what the ---- is a ramhorn??

Errrr.... somthing like that.. lol..

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

4 45's
12 90's

and a little bit of straight section,

good luck

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

homemade equal length. i'm copying jeff, that's what he calls it, he's my hero :)

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

Jeff, where do you put the extra 2 45's? lol...

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

thanks, i'll probly need it :D

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

Ramhorn would be considered the Full-Race style

I have never made one of those, I know beau has made one, and we used it on Random-strikes car.

The one I made for my gf's car looks like this.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

yeah, those are very nice. i want something that will flow well, and that i don't have to just attach the wastegate to on ------- runner.

what did you use for leia's jeff?

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

Right and I meant 15 90's

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

anyone want to make me one? ill pay!

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

2 45's
10 90's

and some straight section, keep in mind the one I built is not a equal length manifold. I dont even think the FR/Ramhorn style manis are either.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

if u have some intelligence and arent all that lazy but are very cheap u buy 180 degree bends ;)

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

yeah, i don't expect it to be an exact equal length. they way i see it all four runners for the wastegate is better than just the one.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

I hate to refer to honda-tech.com but this is to good of info to not pass it along.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

are those short or long elbows?

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

will someone please make me one for my car? b series engine gsr

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

what do you use to maake the collecter, i might have to buy a shitbird :D

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

hmmm... maybe it's time for murdoc to kill some time :D

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

Here's a great write-up explaining the basics of making a collector. https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...9077#msg289077

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

damn, search PwN3s me ;D

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

I don't understand why people build these knockoff manifolds. Why don't you come up with your own design. It will stand out more and be more creative than the gayhorn played out manifold. :-\ Remember, keep the runners equal and just build around the collector and it will probably flow better than a manifold with 12 goddamn 90*

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

Fo real. And use a vagina flange, for god's sake.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

Ram horns aren't equal length.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

yeah, but not everyone has the skills to produce a manifold such as yours.

---- man, you use whitey bends, i couldn't do that ----!

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

No manifold is exaclty equal length.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

here is the one im making for my girl's car.

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

i guess newbieforces is not woking, so the pics might not be showing up. 98ctr :'(

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

My manifold is made out of regular schedule 40 90* bends and straight pieces. If you can cut and weld than you can make a manifold



You can make one yourself that is exactly equal length, you just need to take your time and measure



lol, newbieforces is gone forever. Those pics will show up when hell freezes over. where have you been ;)

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

this might be kinda dumb but....i really like the way jeffs mani came out, and i really like the full-race style. but i noticed that full-race doesnt make a mani for d-series.....is there like a write-up out there that shows you how to make your own mani and what are the basic steps in doing it?

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

I want to see! ;)

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

but what guage steel to buy and what size pipes 1 1/4''-1 1/2''? ???

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

seriously build a collector, mount it on the turbo in the position you want it and the manifold will basically design itself around it. Its not that hard it just takes patience and its worth it in the end



Most people use schedule 40 which is 8 gauge. I personally just build a manifold out of this material and its way to ------- heavy. Next manifold I build is going to be 16 gauge and braced. Its your choice on what you want to use...

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

i used 1.5" schedule 40 and the manifold wheights 20 ------- pounds. I hope the it will make the difference vs. a log mani that only wheights 5 pounds

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

ha ha here you go Jeff, fixed just for you. lol. ;D

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

BTW don't laugh ;D at it, is still learning how to weld. :-[ . lol. 98ctr

Re:ramhorn manifold
 

sweet manifold, are you going to coat it with anything so it dosent rust?
