Just finished my first manifold, I'd pretty mush not ever touched a welder when i started this manifold, so keep that in mind.


anyways let me know what you think. I tryed not to copy anyone, but i i found a manifold that is pretty much the same after i'd finished tacking it up.

all the work is done with a CEA MATRIX 200AC\DC. No lense used on most the welds, just collet and a 9 cup.

not bad at all, welds arent too bad either i would try to tight up the collector though, that being my only gripe

 

did you make the colector your self??

either way good job

 

how low does the turbo sit ???

 

bump looks good not a huge fan of cleaning up welds but it looks good non the less. hopefully my first will look as solid here shortly lol

 

grinding the welds....not a great idea. The convex shape of a weld helps its integrity and strength.

also...dunno how well that is going to fit in your engine bay, but I assume it fits so

 

looks like the turbo sits waaay low. is a oil return line possible?

pics on the car?

 

thanks for the replys.

this manifold was more of an practice for me, got tiered of laying beads on flats. so i didn't have a car in front of men when i made it, but i'm trying it today on a friends car. had a rough lock yeasterday and there could be a problem with the air filter, and it may be sitting a little low, but that remains to see.

i made the collector my self. my first one.

 

pretty cool, i always wanted to make my own mani too

 

wow great job then the collector looks to flair a little to mutch but still good especialy for a first time

 

How well did you clean the metal ?

 

Yea, looks not bad. But looks like it will sit the turbo really low.
