I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to do my next manifold. I already have some 1.5 inch pipe and I've cut several angles on it already for some whitey bends, here's my basic idea, I want to put the compressor inlet at the front of the car because I'm just gangsta like that and I have no front mount and I have a half radiator so there's just a hole in my front bumper doing nothing for me right below where the turbo sits now. here it is:

I'm going to have 3 2-1 collectors because they are easier than 1 4-1 collector since I don't have any way to hold the pipe at a perfect 90 when I make the 2 different cuts. now that I'm thinking about it the pipes are getting too small toward the turbo, and the final pipe going into the turbo will be way smaller than the opening in the flange. I might try some trickery to get the 4-1 collector to work for me, I'll let you know how it goes.

 

talk to vtenlude hell hook you up with a collector, its only 45 shipped save urself the trouble

 

on second thought why not get your car running first.. :P

 

what size tube are you going to use? What is this gonna be used on and with what turbo?

 

I ordered one too, makes things so much easier especially for that price.

Looks like it's going to be a bit restrictive if the collector is a 1.5" pipe. The design is cool though.

 

dood you gotta seal up those bends better or you're gonna get a wicked leak.

 

my next manifold is actually going to be a 3-2-1 collector.

 

the car runs ********, it just doesn't run all that well. I used super geometry skillz to mark my pipes at 90s, so I'm going to attempt my own collector, we'll see how it goes. and yes, the pipes will be sealed, they look like *** right there because my rhino3d skillz aren't what they were 2.5 years ago when I took that class.

 

are you doing a 4-1 or a 3-2-1 collector?
