tubular manifold

[RO_SUNNY]

It will have plenty of access......anyway is a pain in the ass to do it due to the angle of the turbo

As you can see my calculations for equal length came out quite OK

Any updates

 

[RO_SUNNY]

Allright chaps......

Now It's ready .....for final welding.

Sorry for not updating this in due time.....but I am busy working on my house and didn't had the the time to work on the manifold!

 

[RO_SUNNY]

Anyways......the 2'nd manifold will be different....because this one was a pain in the ass to make)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Different shape of different construction?

 

[RO_SUNNY]

Different shape of different construction?

Yeah with a shorter collector ....but still ''almost'' equal length!

 

[Fusion Ed]

Equal length really isn't a huge deal. I would favour good airflow over equal length headers.

Can't wait to see this finished

Equal length really isn't a huge deal. I would favour good airflow over equal length headers.

My opinion also....but it's hard to convince one that it's better to have flow than equal length!

the best one would be a side winder........but is hard to make and I really don't know how much would be intersted in such

Yeah mate.....exactly like this!

 

[RO_SUNNY]

Ok.............today I will start with the welding and I think that at the end of this week the manifold will be ready

 

[RO_SUNNY]

....progress

 

[johnny gtir]

looking good so when are these ready ? how many how soon and is there a waiting list etc please ?

 

[RO_SUNNY]

This one will be ready this week....but first I have to see if it fits and what mods are neede in order to accomodate it in the engine bay! ...there's no waiting list as no one pay'd any advance....so basicly is .....the 1'st one to pay will be the happy owner!

some small proggress.............

How heavy is the finished manifold?

 

[STU666V]

Looking good, should be finished soon?

It does look heavy walled pipe.
Are you purging with gas when welding?

hi Martyn,

I think that it will be somewhere around 5 kgs.

Cheers,

Hi Stu,

It is indeed, it's an 48 mm in diameter with an 3 mm wall pipes/elbows (Sch 10).

Yes all my work is 100%back purged to insure 100% penetration and 0 defects.

Check this photos out!

If it wasn't backpurged the root would have been black and ''crystalized''!

Tidy!
your on it! ;-)
