Turbo manifold pretty much complete, just got to weld it up. After all the bottom mounts ive seen i went with this design.

14 hours
4 cutoff disks
1 grinding wheel later.









DISCOOOO POTATOE!!!

 

That looks sick, cant wait to see it in person.

 

Ha when you want to order yours?

 

Soon. My clutch/diff/exhaust are a little higher on the priority list though.

 

Ceramic coat that ish!

that mani would throw lots of heat i would assume with all of that surface area.


but it does look like quality, and im sure your finish welding will be solid.

 

Damn dude, looks great! You guys and your bottom mounts...i'm so jealous. I wish I didn't need my a/c to live in the south

More pics soon man!

 

Flow is my only goal. I wont ceramic coat it cause im too cheap. If i have issues with heat ill make a heat shield or something.

 

Ahh, the tried and true absurdflow design. Good choice. Sits nice and high which will make a lot of things a lot easier than they are for me with my extremely low mount design. Compressor ourlet and oil drain are kinda hairy for me but its going to work for now I think.

Just wait til you make your downpipe...soooooo easy with a bottom mount.

Cant wait to see it finished!

 

Manifold welded minus the turbo flange. Ran out of energy.














Pimp

 

Have you considered those small diamond pieces to weld over the seams? Tim used them on the vband manifolds for increased strength*



*I don't know what I'm talking about.

 

Gussets?

Yes i will be putting them on the top and bottom. Its still not done yet though.

 

Looks good. I bet it was fun welding between #2 and #3

 

Yes

 

That's it? Not bad.

How much does this cost if I want one?

 

Farming-out manifold now, huh?

 

Sure!

Just wondering, the OP PM'ed me asking for pointers saying he wanted to sell them. Wondering what he though a good price was now that he's made one.

 

As simple as it looks its a real pain in the *** to make. I don't know if ill produce them. Id rather do a log manifold. I would say 500 just for the manifold. The log manifold will be 325. Downpipe is extra.

This is my first manifold I've made. And it was a pain in the asssssss.

 

Yowza! Thats spendy!

Oh come on, you know it's fun.

$500 is good for a stainless manifold. That's what I charge for my mild steel version ($540 for all stainless).

Is that a mild steel head flange? Sch. 40 pipes?
