yo eveyrone post pics of your DIY manifolds, and if you're nice... list some directiosn and tips and where you get the materials n stuffl. I figured out that i coudl use some weldable bends aquired from a local industrial plumbing store, they got the T's and hte 90's and hte 45's etcc. I wanna do this set up and try it out for fun, let me know and see your set ups !! thanks

 

I never really got to do it on my rex, but I wanted to do the same thing. If you want some good pics, check out homemadeturbo.com It is the quintessential site for this kind of stuff! Good luck!

I used **** from Home Depot to make this. The plates are for strength...I learned the hard way about that...just use your imagination Its easy to do really, just need the flanges...

 

hey was gonna do that! looks good i little expensive tho... i got a 97cx mani and its looking really good

This is Tinker219, Im on my buddies computer. I just made this manifold yesturday, and Im pretty happy with it. Im awaiting a T4 turbo to complete the collector/exhaust flange. Whatcha think? Its using the Full-Race design, but inverted, and with a different collector style...

 

moORE!

 

Tinker219 again....
I used a total of 6 weldable 90's, and custom bent #3 and 4 exhaust port pipes...took a total of 4 hours including drilling out the flange(I work at a machine shop, unfair advantage). Total cost...$54. You likeee?

 

i came up with a pretty cool design yesterday at school... my pre-cal teacher told me it looked like a good design i'll try to draw it on my computer right now

lookin good .. i ordered soem pipes form mc master.com cuz i coudltn find any of those weldable bends in the area, =T but im only doing a log sytle manifold which sucks .. ahh wells .. any tips you wanan give me such as what shops to search for etcc ? thanks

 

Well, I got everything from a plumbing supply store. The flanges you could buy from Cheapturbo.com...$60 for the head flange, and around $30 for the turbo flange. I also bought some T's from this place, and I am making a log style for my brothers civic. That might take me an hour start to finish, and it will be just like MaxRevs log-style. Once you can weld, the sky is the limit on what you can do...oh ya, and finding supplies. Good luck!

Tinker - I would like to see your finished project (the pics arent showing up)... I remember the unfinished ones from the last thread like this

 

Getting the turbo today...the manifold will be finished by the end of the week Then I get to figure out how to hook these up into AEM EMS

 

Here is one I'm making myself





Here is a copy of an Fmax (left) I'm making my friend. Actually I have about 10 people right now that want one of these.

For the DIYers, if you guys need some head flanges I have some very high quality for all heads. B, D, H, K, and F series motors.

$65 + shipping for 1/2"
$55 + shipping for 3/8"


Look for these flanges on many of the top manifolds in the near future...

You guys are amazing! Wish I had the equipment to weld

 

looks real nice man, i want to see some numbers with it...how much does it cost you to make one of those?

 

This one was about $35cdn in parts and a days work.

 

Looks nice guys....Hmmm, my stepdads pretty nice with a welder..might have a little project for him

 

want to make me a downpipe, master welder

 

 

Here is my first attemp at a manifold, so please do not flame. It's not finished and just a mock up of what I'm attempting to do. Welding sucks(J/K).HaHaHa.

 

where did you get that collector?
