but i wont make a branch manifold again. good for power. but its a lot of work. took me 2 weeks to make that. and also not good for heat in engine bay.

yes. u make the colectoe at the turbo. make al the pipes. weld them up. grind them flush. then weld the pipis on to the colector and on to the flange at engine. lot of work bud. lol

it looks like an octopus
faefae would be so proud

yes. u make the colector at the turbo out of 4 90 degree bends. then u make the pipes. grind them flush. then weld the pipes up to the colectoe and to the flange at the head. lot of work. . . .lol but saves money

I touched Fae's car yesterday.

hahah ya

il post pics and updates with the new build over the next few weeks.

Pretty good man. Looks like you are using cast flanges? The one to the turbo looks that way. Can't see what you used for a flange on the head. Welding cast has a few tricks for long life.
My only real gripe is grinding welds. Generally a fab/engineering no no. You loose a lot of strength at an already crack prone location.
Good work though

yes cast flanges. but this time round il just be making a normal manifold not a branch manifold.
il be getting back the nb,s head tomorrow. send it in for refurbish. il be rebuilding the motor before turbo conversion.
