Small crack in header HELP!
 

Okay well as some of you know i just got this Miata yesterday. Now i noticed that it lagged somewhat due to the bigger turbo. But it seemed to me that it was just not even spoolin fast enough. So today i checked all the couplings etc and traced it to a crack on my tubulars just below the flange where the turbo mounts:facepalm:

Now i know its a alliminum material and i was wondering if i can weld this crack wich is as wide as a hair and about 3/4 of a inch long, or do i buy some of that expensive ass putty crap?

If i can tig weld it can be repaired by my neighbor. Just wanted to make sure i wasnt gonna burn a hole through it.

If you honestly think your turbo manifold is aluminum, you're in for a world of hurt. At least post a photo of it so we can see which crappy eBay manifold you're stuck with.

aluminum? LOL
putty? LOL

its steel. and hell no not any ammount of "putty" will fix it.
Take it off, have it welded up.

Dont you have an ebay mani? what did you spect?

I know its not alluminum and its not the manifold. Its just below the cast iron flange that bolts up to the headers.

no its not a Ebay mani either. And i know i am saying its not the mani when in fsct it is, it is on the beginning of the runner, I keep saying header, and i appoligize.

And i know its not alluminum, it is stainless. Sorry again. so it can be welded? Actually its very reachable with a rod so ill get up with my neighbor tomorrow ....

I have no idea what you're trying to say. Is the crack on the manifold or the turbo?

Iron cast that bolts up to the the headers? that's your turbine housing.

MANIFOLD!!!LOL

dude im sorry i am trying to talk and type at the same time and i have had no sleep! Its one of the tubalar runners that has a hairline crack

Get someone to weld a plate over the crack.

how do you know its not an ebay mani?

Nearly Gay-run-t'd that is an ebay manifold. The welds around the runners are a little too "dime stack" for any normal human (tim and abe excluded). Also, the finish of the material is very close to the ebay headers and manifolds I've seen.

If you are so convinced that it isn't a Chinese piece, did the seller clue you in as to where it originated?

one is 500 the other is 125
can you tell the difference?

The difference is $375.

What do I win? :D

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Just pm me your full Name, Address, and Social security number:D

I would also address the blue silicone looking boost line that appears to be resting on the mani. That could be a problem about 15 feet down the road. That corrugated plastic look is not going to save it. Re-route it if you want to have boost control.

fixed dat fer ya.

verty, can you take a blurry picture of it and a few other non-related items and be vague and perhaps a bit ambiguous about the problem? Be sure to use incorrect terminology and make several incorrect assumptions in your line of questioning to unwittingly baffle those who might offer rational assistance based on experience and expertise. Thanks.

Thanks. I just squirted rum out of my nose.

It burns.

:bowrofl:

You are exactly precise SIXSHOOTER! And you can please take your condescending ass back to your confines that you call the lavaratory and pretend that you are conversing with someone who GIVES A FLYING FUCK!

Thanks to all who gave insight to this for me as I am fastheartedly attempting to obtain the almighty knowledge and expertise that so many of you have aqcuired on this forum.

Good evening and farewell.....even you SIXPOOPER!

ooooooooooh someone just wet her panties :drama:

Thanks Spare! Ya i actually did that last night, the pix youve seen thus far were taken right when i got the car. Its been driven about 3 miles so far. I am not gonna drive it everyday anyways and i for certain want to address teh crack firsthand before i even take it out anywhere significantly.

.it was your mother! I see you are once again riding the bandwagon. It seems that you somehow worm your way into everyones biz bufon! Geez.....lonely dude? LOL

TAke it easy man we already got enough crisis in the gulf.....SERIO CONO!

Uh Oh, someone dropped the P-Bomb, and as part of a name!

They will probably ban us all now. And maybe even send us to jail. The P word is serious stuff.

Good. Now Just Chill. You could have 10K posts in here and people would be giving you shit for those crap pics and mixing up all the terminology so badly. This is pretty milld actually. AFAIK nobody has claimed that your mother made love to a walrus or that you enjoy produce rammed up your anus, both of which are pretty common allegations here.

You're losing the little credibility you have on this forum REAL fast.

I suggest you cease the fagotree and provide pics of the problem for any real solutions, as well as way more info on what kinda manifold (for SURE, not your guess), what thickness, etc...

Dude take it easy ive already got it taken care of. And FYI i am playing around and if your gonna point fingers and make claims of ''Fagotree'' start with the guys who i realize were playing around to begin with.

Listen man dont act like your a big shot on the forum because youve been a member on it for half your life. Just chill and relax and let people fight there own battles. Its all harmless fun and i know all about it from being a member on the rx-7club forum for nearly 8yrs.

So pipe down homeboy...wwe ainy having no e-net gangbanging fool!!

Oh i see and I am the one who is using ''fagotree'' you guys need to really not take yourself so seriously. This is a miata forum not a soap opera!

Youre obviously playing culero

Calma te cono! Todos tranquil!

pardon the hell out of us for being serious in a technical section when someone asks for help. you obviously "got this":rolleyes:
have fun.

I am now dumber for reading this. Atleast when i decide to flame people, they suck. Thanks for wasting my time. I thought i would waste a minute of yours for wasting 10 of mine.

I'd offer more advice but I fear it would just fall on deaf ears. Good luck with your car.

Do you have a link to the website of the manufacturer of this new super alloy alliminum? I'm interested.

:giggle:Mighty putty dude... it'll fix it. Billy Mays hasn't steered me wrong yet.

Did he actually say sixpooper? What's next? Are you going to call me Mr. Doodieface?

First you plea for "HELP!" in your title. People genuinely wish to "HELP!" but can't because you won't "HELP!" them "HELP!" you. Then you refer to those who wish to "HELP!" with elementary playground names. Baffling...

Poo Poo Pants.

I still maintain i have contributed the most.

This thread is fail. Verty, we don't need pics of anything, especially shitty moto razr pics. There's only two things you need to do, first is to take the manifold off second is to take it to a welder to fix it properly.

I totally aggree. First of all i find this funny how i am being accused of being childish when ther was 5 other members who sound like complete douchebags and its even more funny how fo such a SERIOUS TECH SECTION:bowrofl:

90% of you jerkoffs dont give any advice all you do is respond with smartass comments to let all the other little nerds on here join in on a feeding frenzy.

So Thanks to the 2 people who actually helped and to the rest of you cocksucking little tough guys who act all bad behind a laptop....I LOVE YOU!
You actually help me become a better person and now my alluminum space age metal hyperstatus internal flowbusting manifold is being fixed.


And i terribly apolagize for the cheezy Blackberry pix, sorry its all i had at the time. I dont scour streets looking for the next great angle of my Miata.
So i hope that i can be accepted in your Gang of Gurus. Please forgive me as i know you all never make mistakes and i am sure when you got your first miata you knew everything about everything.

BTW how did you all do that.....Ill post Digital pix of the mani fixed as son as i can. Now you all can go about and find something else to critisize me with. :fawk:

You're welcome. Now leave this thread, go get it welded, and you will never even have to deal with these douchebags again. You got the answer you need, man did you ever get over on them!

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

CR.net awaits you.

Oh boy, I had high hopes for this guy too.

Just relax, take a break from the forum for a few hours, everyone will forget about this.

Naw man its all good. Ive got no hard feelings. And yes CR.net awiats you too brother! As well as Miata.net and all the other 100 MIATA forums! So jump on board and do what you do best......NOTHING! lol

Seriously though men, I am a little pissed that this mani is cracked. If any of you fucktards that actually believed that i was gonna use PUTTY, you really are the ones who need help. I was simply asking if this particular Tubular manifold could be welded on the runners. I stated that i would use putty as a smartass remark that was just implying that i would just trash this thing.

The mani is a SS and yes its about as good as a China one at best. As i have stated many times this whole miata thing is new to me and i dont wanna jump into something that i am not very familiar with.

So i was told that this would be the forum to frequent if i ever needed any advice. So the first time i ask, i get ridiculed and treated like a dumbfuck. Well to those who have to act like that behind a computer....your sad.....very sad.....pathetic.

But its okay and i understand that there are those that ask and then there are those that dont and pay a hefty price. THe saying goes ''A closed mouth does not get fed.''

So the mani is being taken off right now in my garage and i wil have my neighbor weld the crack later. At least i didnt have to ask any of you about welding.

Moderators you may gladly close this thread.....Peace

You'll be alright, just take my advice and stop freakin posting in this thread, especially the way you are right now. The thread isn't gonna get locked so there's no use in trying, jsut drop outta here, continue on being a helpful forum member and everyone will forget about this thread. remember that sarcasm doesn't carry well over the interwebz and most newbies here are dumb as shit so we treat them as such.

Oh come on keep on; keep on writing "I dont care" essays :giggle:

In for hustler...

he's postin esses

LMAO. He pm'd me. Who wants to see it?? :laugh:

Post that shit. OP is a lost cause

BTW is you're not your; also is an not a.

Dreaded? anyone?

It's "it's" not "is".:giggle:

LOL!! I knew you were a bitch dude!!! And then all you have left is to correct grammar? What a joke.....Its all good though. Glad i could give you something to laugh about other than your youself.

OMG!! It's yourself, not youself....damn I gotta get it together.:fawk::fawk::fawk::fawk::fawk::fawk::fawk

You do, but keep it going. I have a ton of work your shit keeps me laughing. :loser:

Hey you bitch, ----, pussy..... fuck you and your little dick. You're a fucking joke. Grow the fuck up. :crx:

putty

They don't make those tubular manifolds for the 1.6 do they? I think he might have a 1.8 in his car. Just sayin cause of his username. Could come in handy for future parts purchases and such

LMFAO! Geez man did i strike a nerve! Can't take it? Then dont dish it out pendejo! Like I said I can pull up at least 5 threads that you ride bandwagons on. Well as a matter of fact, you were rididng Braineacks dick when he was saying that my mani was a SS or a EDT. And you were all over that one agreeing were'nt you culero?

And then you were on this thread last night saying you thought It was a ebay mani!!
Seriously man, your the only one i see that whores threads by jumping on whatever topic and either #1 agreeing with whatever, or #2 jumping in on the insults and bashing.

You my amigo, fail......So why dont you just give it a rest? I'm out and this thread will be closed soon so get your last word in and make yourself look more ignorant than you already appear to be. Well at least on this forum anyways. Oh, c'mon man its just fun, remember?

Hey John,

Good point but remember when you and i were talking and I mentioned that this tubee was for a 1.8? I am wondering if i should just take this wwhole set up off and sell it to just fund for a smaller set up?

Whats your opinion? At least we can talk to eachother like men.

ALrigh man, you're definetely a tool. Dont hit your vagina on your way out.

Really if you quit posting, we will quit telling you that you suck. Your keeping this show going. You lucky i am on a government computer, and cant look up more fatty gifs.
