Just wanted to get some feedback on this manifold.

Welded with:
Miller Syncrowave 200 Brand New***
3/32 Tungsten
1/16 Filler 308L
#8 Gas Lens
Argon 16 cfm

 

That looks a lot like the manifold I think RTErnie has on his Neon. Nice job.

 

HOLY WTF-ness! looks crazy, good fab bro

 

whoa. id hate to change the wastegate on that think. nice manifold though.

 

some welds look to hot , but overall very good job looks like a bitch to work on looks kinda like the full-race one, is that what gave you the desing idea ??

 

did you make 2 of them? or are they just in seperate cars for testing?

i was just asking cause the wastegate and the color of hte car..


but, fab wise/design wise....looks nice other than wastegate placement..but given that's the accepted wastegate location.....then A+ is the grade

 

yeah i made 2 of them for 2 different cars

 

actually its quite easy to access the wastegate while its on the car. in fact you can actually install the manifold with the turbo and gate already bolted together or each piece individually if you like.

 

appreciate it. yes some welds did get a bit on the hot side and i had to do them without my gas lense cause i had broken the cup half way through the welding process so that didnt help either.

 

i wouldnt want to install that thing. looks like you will boil your brake fluid

 

well we have been running the first car for a while yet and not MC failure to date. not to mention its not as close as the images make it seem. we also found a little trick to ventilate the underhood temps alot better making for better cooling just for this particualt application.

 

yes sir got the idea for the masters of the universe themselves

 

i thought ive seen that somewhere before.

 

god that engine and engine bay design are a pita IMO to work on, looks like a mess just from the dealer. id much rather keep to my old b series and working in the front of the bay. Only K series id boost would be one in a EG or EK, hell its easier to work on a K series in a EG and EK then a damn RSX

 

you have no idea...AND i love the fact that the chassis/firewall differs from the rsx to si.

 

i wanna see somebody do a wire tuck to an rsx...maybe then we could actually see the firewall or frame rails.... looks like a wiring cluster **** from the factory.

manifold looks really good, but how did you do the oil return?

 

that looks nuts!

 

the return line runs in between the rear tranny bracket and the block there is a space that you can run the line through so that it stays close to the motors and away from the DP. the turbo has a 45 degree fitting on it as does the oil pan for get the line pointed in the right direction.

 

i see, so i guess its not hard for you to put it in without a flex? cool. from experience, no flex=major pain. haha

 

there is a flex...

 

I like it!

 

That looks badass.

 

full race knock-off. But I guess its a more affordable than it too. Looks nice.
