I plan to be boosting my b18b1 Integra soon.

My dad has been welding for almost about 30 years, and I was thinking he could most likely be able to make a turbo manifold, with some sick welds.

I'm not too knowledgeable on welding, but I would like to know what type of steel i should get? How much, and what kind? I was thinking of making an equal length manifold, like a Full-Race, Rank1racing, Inline-pro style design, you know the ram head looking manifold.

I could just order the t3, or t3/t4 flange depending on which turbo i go with from rank1racing.com, or bmcrace.com, and also the external wastegate flange.

So could you give me some insight on which piping to use, I have heard of 304 stainless, and stainless steel, what else? And what prices do these go for, about how much piping would I need, and and also if someone had some measurements, that would be great, thanks.

I searched but really didn't find anything. High quality equal length manifolds are pretty damn expensive, so I thought I'd put my dad up to it, since he has many years of experience welding working with tig, mig, stick, etc.

Thanks.

 

we also supply flanges

Depends what the over all budget is that will determine the material cost


If you can afford use 16 ga. 321 stainless

lil less 304 16 ga stainless

tight budget use the weld L's from mc master carr 304 sced. 10 or 40

 

All I gotta say is have a plan of what you're going to make, and use something good to cut it. I made my last log manifold with a chop saw, but this time I only have 90's....and that chop saw sucks *** for making good cuts, I'm about to give up and just buy a ssautochrome or some **** and brace it.
