My fabricated T3 manifold

[Meshuggah]

Since I cant post this in the fab threads I'll just post it here.

Just wanted to see what you guys thought of my manifold set up. Made it from sch. 10 stainless fittings. I'm waiting to get the engine in my car to see how much room I have for the wastegate. I'm going to run a HX40 with the bullseye turbine housing. The HX40 in the pictures isn't mine, its my buddies.

I was actually going to sell the manifold but I just bought a 1g Talon, so I'm gonna run it

Had to modify the water pipe to make it work

This is what its going in

looks awsome. i would deffinately wrap that manifold in some header wrap due to the length of the pipes it will loose more heat. wrap should hold than in alot nicer and make a quicker spool. very nice work

Omg im sorry a cut-off wheel, How many blades did you go through? Stainless wipes then out fast right? If you can afford it the tubing belt notcher is the way to go for making the collector, But that thing is like 4k, It make's things go a lot faster, I can knock out the collector in about an hour, A good hand or wheel grinder will save a lot of time, Collector pieces are the hardest thing I think and so time consuming, The collector pieces I start off in the chop saw to try and get things going. How many hours total do you have in that one? And your tig weld's look good, How long have you been welding for? http://mtechsupply.com/display.php3?getcategory=Tube+Notchers

Yeah it sucks cutting them out with a cut-off wheel. I think I went through only 2 or 3 wheels though. I don't even know how many hours I had total in making the collector...maybe 6-8? A lot of that was using a carbide bit cleaning and smoothing the inside of it. I've been welding for about 4 years now. I took Chasis Fab. and High Performance engines at a well known tech school, but we wont get into how much of a joke that was

Looks great!!
And it's a one of a kind manifold! XD

 

[cody92talon]

im looking into doing this my self as well. did you just get the tubing at your local metal shop? or did u order bends somewhere? and good job on that manifold. im a tig welder for a living so i know the time involved in this keep up the good work

 

[oneslowevo]

looks great. Always a cool thing when you can build your own custom parts for your own car.

I got the fittings and straight lengths at Ace Stainless

Where do you work? I would love to get a job welding. Right now I'm a body man/painter at an auto body shop. Not exactly what I want to do the rest of my life!

I just realized you're from Beavertown, we go to BSD all the time! Maybe you'll see my car there this year, I definitely want to get some test and tune in with it this year

 

[nikkeebabee]

Manifold looks pretty nice!

 

[cookmeup272]

I would buy a T4 twin scroll later down the road.

haha wow i didnt even see you were from muncy i work rite there along old route 15 in new columbia at thermal product solutions. im hoping to have my build done by spring time also.

looks AWESOME men!! very nice job...

 

[jlkronik]

im kinda new here and was just wondering what a twin scroll is?

Here... Let me google that for you

i dont know if you were trying to be an a-hole or not, but thanks

You mean make right?

 

[cookmeup272]

No as in if you were to make a manifold like this, but in a T4....I would buy it

Ohh got ya haha

I'm definitely down for making people manifolds

 

[2gmummy]

looks good how long from start to finish? you make o2's also?

 

[Voodoo262]

Looks good. Equal length runners?

 

[DSMReviver]

sir you are talented

I LIKE IT..

 

[cookmeup272]

Im just wondering about the structural integrity with no bracing and running a turbo as big as that one is.

Any manifold making/purchasing needs to be taken off line. The OP is not a Supporting Freelancer or Vendor.

 

[my98gsx]

twin scroll or not.... great job!, looks amazing.

 

[Meshuggah]

I'm gonna say maybe 12 hours of work time to make it? I'm sure I could probably make some o2 housings as well

sir you are talented

Thanks, I appreciate it

I was actually looking at this today, I may run a brace off the collector flange to one of the exhaust studs

Not a problem

twin scroll or not.... great job!, looks amazing.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure the next one that I'm making for a friend of mine is going to be T4 Twin scroll

Just so you dont think I'm talking out of my butt,Here's some pics of the one that i did 2 years ago out of mild steel,I did it out of mild because i was on a budget at the time,I think my next manifold is going to be a top mount one , I think the top mounts looks better, I think the flow rate is about the same depending on the length of the tubes and the od and id, what to see if this one is going to hold up first.Oo I'm not trying to steal your customers its just nice to see someone else fabian here.
