ETS T4 Twin scroll mani swain coated and match ported

[ceedawg]

Finally making some progress on my setup I've been building off and on since 2k11 believe it or not. I decided to get my ETS twin scroll mani swain coated. I love the manifold, however I had two problems which one was my fault. I never told ETS that my head was ported so I had to get it port matched. I called up Kels(Keltalon) and asked him if he could possibly help me out. I know he's busy with other non related car stuff but he immediately took time out to help me out and port match the mani so I could finish and drop this motor in the car. I got the mani back from him via Atl to NYC in 2 days after I had sent it. He cleaned up some of the welds on top of port matching the flange. Looks sweet

Issue two was runner #3. The weld. Apparently because of the bend between the flange and the mani and how it got welded I asked Kelvin if he could some how clean that up for me. ETS and Kelvin assured me that what I see here would not cause any compromise issue strength wise nor flow wise so based on their conclusions I'm feelin good.

Overall I'm anxious about getting this thing on the car. I finally put the precision heat wrap on,next will be the down pipe and wastegate dumps. Stay tuned! Pics in post 3

I guess with all your wisdom you possess that you must have forgot that the bit you were using in the picture is intended for aluminum and not steel.

Nonetheless it did the job! If you weren't so focused on starting an argument you would have just said "Dag man I am surprised you did such a nice job with a bit that was intended for another metal!" Some people can't help being negative I guess!!

Its a good thing photography isn't one of your main hobbies. Nice work with the cabinets you do amazing work.

Thanks. If I knew carl was gonna post the pics I definitely would've gotten better shots. By the way that manifold is awesome I would love to have one on my new engine

That is an old manifold! It was a custom one off piece. Thank you and you did a great job on the porting.
