Custom welded tubular manifold & turbo setup.
 

I've decided to part with my custom-welded tubular manifold / turbo / downpipe setup. The turbo is a AiResearch oil-cooled unit with internal wastegate, however the wastegate actuator can is not included. Downpipe is 2.25" with a captive GM-style flange. Compressor is the 57 trim .48 A/R unit. I unfortunately don't have the turbine specs handy, but it has a 53mm wheel.

Turbo not hit block, guaranteed.

Asking $450 for everything pictured.

Why are you selling this combo Joe? I'm curious if that's a 5/16" flange or if it's 3/8".

Side note-I wonder what Begi would charge to get ceramic coat it all?

impressive use of the SRT4 integrated turbine housing design. eliminates bolt failures and gasket leaks.

got a picture of the inside of the collector?

eww. should have worn a condom. Jimmy up!!;)

who vomited all over the manifold? :D

damn... what.. did Ray Charles get a hold of a welder??


Did you steal something out of the Titanic exhibit at your local museum??

Looks like it's growing.

it looks like someone kicked you in the nads when you welded that but other wise its nifty

And suddenly an eBay kit doesn't look so bad anymore. lol

Someone pick this thing up before it becomes self-aware!

:bowrofl:

what the fuck, its a turbo monster!

Now with more primordial ooze.

C

Good god.

I've seen parts salvaged from spanish gallions, sunk in the 1600's, that looked just like that. A few barnacles and a bit of coral growing and you'd pretty much have it.


That's like.. Umm.... woh...

So did you cut a hole in the hood for the exhaust or something?

And I thought bat guano wasn't as strong as jb weld, apparently I was wrong.

lol..I was thinking the same!!! :)

holy fuck ! based on that I am a genius welder !

is that from a lemons car or something like it??

Hmm.

Is it going in for chemo if you catch it early it has a better chance of surviving...

Joe, I didnt know your name is Chet:)

Elephant man approved. lmao kotomiles self aware post

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

what happens if the exhaust turbine wheel gets shredded :giggle:

lol

All of Joe's work and parts are usually so expertly thought out/executed that it's nice to see he's human like the rest of us lol

I have taken shits that look better than that.

at that point, wouldn't it just be eaiser to make the manifold completely of welding filler rod?

Haha, I was thinking the same thing myself... It looks like he started with nothing but a few rods and ended up with this thing.

i dont know what you guys are on but i think this is pure sex!

vomimt is a tasty treat compared to buying that ...ewwwwwwwwwwwww

Is it stainless steel?

PMed.

U guys need to look at the pictures again, and try and extract the beauty. Sometimes its hard to digest such a brilliant design onthe first try

only a fine connoisseur of art can appreciate the bolt hopelessly stuck in the flange, or the subtle wires that have burned through and been irreversibly stuck in the big booger of metal

I'm as desperate for a manifold/turbo/dp as hustler gets towards last call and that shit still isn't appealing to me.

I really want to make an offer, but I just can't bring myself to do it, and like hustler has yet to discover, I'll feel better in the morning for not letting it come to that.

art? what art...?

and even art should have some functionality.....this obviously does not...look at hot side of turbo it is almost all the way blocked off by welding....which should have been bolted in is welded and even if YOU CAN see a artist quality are you really going to pay 450 bucks from an artist you dont know for a peice of art you want to actually do something with?

performance is a art that is true...but it is nothing if not done right.....sorrry but that should not even be o this forum,....it makes us all look bad to even consider it as a usable peice...

He's right guys! This makes us look bad and we should never post anything on this forum that could make us look bad to other people. We have a positive image to uphold here people!

As a wise man one told me "I take it you didnt get the memo. The internet is serious business"

its a fucking joke....jeezus....rxmiata you need to lurk more

Dude are you serious?

did anyone buy this yet? I need another kit for my other miata.

how's living with Down's? Seriously, I'm sorry about your mental disability. Seriously, you should hang yourself in a chatroom.

hey whatever....a hole....

to begin with i am also having my fun.....
secondly if you cant deal with my british sacrasm too bad....
thirdly I hold a honors degree in engineering and therfore take certain aspects of life quite seriously...

so in case you dint know me which you DONT>>>>>>
I was joking.............in MY way!!!

Well its my way or dental record identification, so you better watch how you joke with us or I'll make a soup-bowl our of your skull. I have an honors degree in bad-ass motherfucker-dom, so I suggest you heed my advice and go on with your beta-male life of failure and stop pushing your short-luck here. Final warning, do not piss me off.

oh, and is that English or British...or do you care to group the UK all together like every other fucktard, poseur loser who backpedals who fucks with the alpha?

I just pissed myself :bowrofl: :bowrofl: Is that bad?

First off, it's ok to say asshole. We aren't in third grade.

Secondly, why do you say that you are joking and then say that you take engineering quite seriously?

You know Al Gore took a joke as serious

And look where that got him

Do you want to be Al Gore?

well i didnt want to say A**hole for the very reason as posted by HUSTLER people on this forum are way toooooo ---- and want to threaten people for little shit as if they can do someone something over the internet...LOL as you can see from his post he is going to kick my butt over the internet so I am sooo shaken up by his threats....I am afraid to post anything on here again.....I truley hope that this forums is not that full of retards that a person cannot voice opinion without being kicked out..lol like that will hurt my feeling soo much......


as for my sarcasm I was actually born in Ireland and adopted ENGLISH sarcasm while I lived there as a youth.....but if you kneew about British people on the whole they are all sacastic.....so YES I say British sarcasm.....unless you prefere I use .........


MIATATURBO.NET sarcasm which is by far more thick and obnoxious

You know, you're not the first person I've met recently that claimed to be from England, but used it as some kind of excuse to explain why they weren't normal, or successful, or cool.

You a**hole, are playing victim of circumstance, and probably will for the rest of your life. If you choose not too, and decide to realize you have complete control over your situation, then read Atlas Shrugged and drop some testicle.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

you might be right sixshooter about my mother and father.....but your both parents are gay old men that adopted you because you where all alone in the home......LOL


as for making excuses for my humor...why dont you re-read this forum thread...which is a total trucking joke to even start with....a waste of my time now that I have started to engulf myself in petit conversation with obviously petit minded people.....

I love cars and miatas and such, and that is my reason for being here only...if maybe at first I didnt realize this thread was ajoke I did at my second post , but now this is a totla waste of my time, I dont need to prove to you guys my life or how big my balls are, or if they even dropped yet.
I have worked with many great people in racing and motorsport and have their confidence in me...so really what do I care about your opinions? who are you to me? unless you have some valuable information on miatas or rotaries or other fantastic vehicle really your just a gnat in line of sight...........as for the manifold maybe I should buy it for the full asking to end this stupid worthless thread......

you wouldn't still be posting if it didn't matter

u amuze me ........thats all .....want to see how wond up you can really get, plus I am working so this is great tension breaker for me while I work....

get over yourself, I don't give a shit, just trying to help.

I can't be the only person you've rubbed wrong, so consider it constructive criticism. If you decide to refuse your character flaws, that's your deal. I try to be aware or mine.

comments on my mother and father? constuctive? you must be a really abusive father and husband then?
if you consider your inappropriate commen as constructive ur a bit more messed up than I thought... let me guess your imbreed?
LOL


anyway man...i am done......for now....ur right i am the one with issues and i rub everyone the wrong way...and I cant take a joke..and my parents failed at life...(hahahah if you only knew)........and so did I.....ask Aj almendinger nad juan pablo, and petit junior....and danika...i rubbed them all the wrong way.....

well maybe danika...we never got along.....hahahahh thats a story i like to tell......she hates me i am sure even to this day...anyway i am ranting sorry...

I am finished






for now....lol

/\ you are not funny in any way, your comebacks are lame, and you sound like a complete fucking douchebag..congrats...you make the brits look even stupider

If you're reading comprehension wasn't pitiful you would have noted that I didn't say anything about your mother and father.

But thanks for making it personal...and putting an LOL at the end of it.

Being a good husband and father is something that takes a lot of work, and something I take great pride in. By your comments I imagine you don't understand, and I personally hope you never do. You shouldn't be in the gene pool, and you're calling me inbred.

I also don't find anything in what you post even slightly humorous. Self depricating and pitiful yes, humorous no.

your right i am sorry..mixed u up...and I am a father by the way..good at it too..lol dont rub them the wrong way..but then i guess they have no choice but to love me .....hahahah..or else they dont get allowances..

hmmmmm
 

^^^^^^ my come backs mate?

this is more lame than a horse with a broken back
