Some pics of My D Series Top Mount Manifold *********56K Beware !
Well since my ssauto **** manifold has been retired due to non-stop cracking around the wastegate & collector, it was time for a new manifold.
I had this idea and I used that top half of D16Z6 Exhaust manifold to make a top mount and made a 2-1 collector. I am still unsure if this will flow ok or not, looks like it should, but if it doesn't oh well.
I got the Downpipe fabbed up and still need to finish the lower charge pipe & mount wastegate.
I am still getting used to welding so my welds dont look the best...lol
Here are some pics
thoughts ?

That is some awesome home made manifold action.I opened this expecting a full race style manifold but I think i am more impressed by this.

Re: Some pics of My D Series Top Mount Manifold *********56K Beware ! (Wilky)
thanks for the feedback!
Yeah this mani has HMT written all over it, I dont even think I have a heatshield for it so It will probly get heat wrapped, and this mani cost me less than $40 bucks to make (I already had the exhaust mani already)
hopefully it flows good I should have it all back together tommorrow

Simply awesome The welding could be better, but it's all about using what you have available at home/shop
The idea of using the stock manifold and fabbing an extension piece is unbeatable. Imagine using a nice CNC flange and nice TIG welding... Voila, mass produced "sub $200" topmounts...rofl

I used what I had laying around, the weld elbows are 1.5" 1.4 ID sch 40 (1/8" thick) and the collector is just 1.5" exhaust piping.

Thats awesome. Regardless of performance, you get a for creativity. Maybe you could brace the turbo using the holes for the heatshield. Dont know if that would do more harm then good though.
