That is unreal, you are very talented aaron.

Approximately how many manifolds did it take for you to perfect your skill ?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

What about the other two runners?

Thanks. I think I'm far from perfected it though. Still learning and getting better. I believe I've made 6 or 7 manifolds now.

What about the other two runners?

Started to add one today.

Annnn i didn't know you were doing the collector like that. Usually it's made then welded to flange

 

[Slow95gsx]

Space is limited on this one.

Really like the compact design. Welds look amazing too.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Has to be compact it's for a motorcycle

Looks nice, i could build one of these with the 12 pieces i have damn manifolds usually cost me a fuq load of weld els

You have any pics of some of the manifolds you've made?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I dont, just some of it in pieces of sch10 nothing complete. I had to buy a vibrant collector cause i dont have a miter saw so it was more expensive i only did one.

How much was their collector? I made a fixture to cut them on a bandsaw.

 

[Gamble97]

Aaron do you have pics of your jig? And what angle are they cut at?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I'd like to know too. Lol i know you cut it at one angle, rotate 90 and cut same angle. I'd like to see your jig and what kind of saw you use. I just have a chop saw.

Oh the vibrant one was 100 and it was just cut and tacked...

That's the only pic I've got of it. I've made a few different ones, I like this one the best. Angle changes depending on collector height, 11-13 degrees generally.

 

[Gamble97]

What diameter is the larger pipe? And how is that mounted to the saw?
My bandsaw is small, it's a karma one. I still need to fix the vice on it.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

You guys are lucky to have a bansaw

 

[Gamble97]

Go get the one from harbor freight. it's a badass

 

[Slow95gsx]

It's welded to that steel plate you can see in the pic. I don't recall off hand the inside diameter of the tube. I have both of harbor freights bandsaw's, they work great once you ditch the blades they come with.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I'll get a cheap one then. No harborfreight here butnive never been a fan of the quality of HF when i have been back home but if you guys say so!

 

[Gamble97]

What angle makes the easiest collector to weld? I had someone else tell me 15*.

 

[Slow95gsx]

A bigger angle will give you more room between the runners.

Aaron,

I built my first manifold, which is located in the thread below, it would be wonderful, if you could spare a couple of minutes, to comment/critique some of the things that I have done during the creation of the manifold, since you have a vast knowledge of material science and fabrication. It would be a great oppurtunity for me to learn through your eyes.

Thanks for your consideration in advance.

regards

Guys I'm doing a -8 bung on my sending unit, does it matter if the hole is centered with the bung as long as the whole hole is in there?

Reason being i have tight clearance issue.

 

[Gamble97]

I have turned down many of these projects, be careful with fuel

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Well this is my own, i wouldnt think there is a problem if the hole is off ce tered as long as it's inside the bung. I'm keeping the oem connection below

Pic 1 and two denote what I'm talking about. Someone let me knownif thats okay!! And quick! I wanna weld it up!

One down one to go, waiting on input for the big one, small one has some gas pockets so i made sure to autogenously get them out and grind down a bit to be positive. I used a weave
