Opinions... on my first manifold......
Besides welding in need of help, what do you think? I wanted a straight passage through to the turbo. When looking through the turbo flange, I can see all the runners directly. I have to use a mini radiator, but it is my first mani. I hope that it holds up and performs as well........

Re: Opinions... on my first manifold...... (G)
Why is your turbo so scared of your block?
Mine is similar and it made for a lot of problems, radiator etc.
Construction of the manifold looks very nice.

Re: Opinions... on my first manifold...... (G)
Thanks for the nice comments. I just got the welding machine in Aug and have been practicing whenever I could. I am still trying to figure the bracing, but there will be one or some. The collector isn't as nice as I'd like, a little rough, but there are some provisions below the #2-3 runners boxed into the t3 flange and the WG port. All in all, I am hoping for good spool on this 60-1 at about 12psi. I have a thickish civic radiator, so we'll see about it handling the load....
Thanks again, keep them comments coming.....

I agree with a couple comments. The welds don't look that bad especially for your first manifold. I also would like to see the collector. Looks like there is allot of weight on the middle/end of the manifold due to the turbo being that far forward (not saying it's too far forward though).

i think it look pretty decent, i would be worried about the weight on the runners like that though, maybe it wont be a prob, but something to think about. i like the design though.

Re: Opinions... on my first manifold...... (egturbo)
Nice job. I agree with the others about supporting the turbo. But very good especially for you first mani, keep up the good work.

Re: Opinions... on my first manifold...... (boostin b16)
Thanks alot guys!!! I am pretty excited about the manifold, but good tuning and a few hours on the dyno would be the perfect "next step". As far as the turbo clocking/positioning, I am going to finish the dp-exhaust then need to find a good/cheap IC. I am looking towards an up/down IC as big as the civic radiator, but in front of the turbo. I am trying my best to keep IC piping short as heck.
Next fabrication challenge is the intake mani. I have the pipes and sheetmetal, just need to finish up the turbo/piping side of things.
There is going to be a 1/2" rod from the bottom of the block up towards the t3 flange for bracing, I am a big fan of bracing, hehehehe. I've had experiences with drag manifolds and hope bracing will keed the weight off the head/exmani bolts....
I'll keep all informed on its progress!!!!!
