[bob92vr4]

[Bimmubishi]

I think you're a few hours and a few tubes shy still.

 

[bob92vr4]

yeah lol i will post up some more pics soon. We got cyl number two tied in shoud have it all done by next week i will post up the finished product.

 

[chucklesas]

Hmm. Similar to what these guys were doing. click

 

[bob92vr4]

yeah that looks good mines gonna be a lot lower than that we will see how it turns out.

Don't know if you've made it there yet but I'm doing something similar. I bought sch 40 reducers from a local supplier and cut a piece of phenolic resin into a small square chunk the same as the small side then put it in a hyd press and started crushing it down and what I was left with was 4 ports the exact size of a 2nd gen exhaust gasket. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif


Wood could be used instead of phenolic put use the wood only once and make sure its a hardwood.

I think it'll be sweet when it's done. It's a lot more cool than my stock E3 mani!

 

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif Nice

 

cut a hole in that front bumper and let the cool air flow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

ok so its basically done minus the wastegates wich will be installed when i get them but this is basically the finished product this was built by my friends fab shop here in town who does awesome fab work and custom turbo kits on any hing i have included a few pics of his 700 whp honduh motor compartment. if anybody needs anything like this done let me know and i will put you in touch with him and he is dirt cheap for custom stuff like this including hard pipes etc..

 

Did tommy weld that up for you?

 

[Galantvr41062]

Very simple and straight to the point. The #1 and #4 runners are longer then the #2 and #3 runners, but not by much. The collector looks nice, is that just a fusion weld? Was it back purged or was a flux used? Why did you decide to go front facing turbo vs the "normal" way?

[bob92vr4]

jon no this was done by divulge motorsports owner steve who is a friend of mine its kinda a up and coming shop but hes good hes got lathes and mills the whole set up. this was all done with a tig cleaned up the stainless with m.e.k and clean ss wire brush most of it was fusion welded with some filler rod here and there when needed.

 

[BoostedAWD91]

how much do they usually charge for a exhaust manifold like yours or a tubular

 

[Galantvr41062]

As long as its around 10ga thick (about .125") you could get away with a fusion weld. If a weld is done right it should be stronger then the material being welded, as far as I know this is not possible with a fusion weld.

[bob92vr4]

well it all depends on what you want i.e flanged for mitsu or garret with one or two or no external wastegates my mani he charged about 350 its flanged for t4 with ext wastegate you can go as crazy or as mild as you want. if you want one done let me know he said he would work with anyone from this forum and hook them up. and im not sure on the thikness of the pipe but im sure its over ten gauge cause i work and weld on gas pipeline and these are schdule 20 i belive not like the sch 80 i use at work but very heavy duty ..
