runners are done. need to polish her up and weld her up. car should be ready to dyno for feb 10th. gettin excited.

 

Are you going to fix runner 1, looks crooked to me in one point.

What made you make a design like that ? Just curious cause it does not equal length.

 

Looks killer

BTW- I just ordered a manifold from you B_series log for a 14b

 

ok mr negative. hahah

there are no misaligned anything on this mani. its not perfectly equal length but how many manis really are. like 2.

so anyways, ill throw down 400 plus with this piece feb 10th.

Get off that already, just because I'm not in shock or telling you how good it looks, I become Mr.Negative, funny. Don't forget I actually gave you credit in the last thread, saying welds have improved from what they were.

I asked two questions, don't turn it into something its not.

I wanted to know if you were going to fix the little mistakes that I see, if not what is the sense on spending so much time building a manifold.

Looks off to me

 

isn't it easier to just cut one straight section that fits rather than tack 2 straights together? maybe you should charge alittle more for your manifolds so you don't have to search around your shop for scraps of straight

 

ill take a pic of that spot just for you.

Just asked a simple question, no need to get upset because of our past.

It would of been different if I came in here started shouting insults or straight negativity.

 

that straight piece in bewtween then is slightly angled. i just went and double checked it. everything lines up. i spent hrs and hrs getting this perfect

couple hints...spin the one 90 in and you won't need an angle cut...even if you can't get the 90's to line up you can still cut one straight section with an angle on one end...actually i kinda like the add in peice..that way we can see some more sick beads

noooo thats not a good idea, I have 4 people including myself that are going to be buying mani's from you very shortly after looking at ur site and great prices

 

looks good bro, please tell me thats not the turbo youre using!

 

whats wrong with the turbo. its a borg warner gm-8. as far as that piece being tacked in there. i did use scrap to make that section. from now on though it will be eliminated. this is the first one. i will improve upon the design.

that turbo has zero play and ready to ride. no biggie.

 

yea no ****. seems to be a waste of a good manifold for a turbo that small IMO

 

small. hahaha not for a std bore b16a im shooting for 400whp with it.

Maybe he uses scrap metal on his personal manifold so he can pass the savings onto his customers. Maybe its PhoenixTurbo policy to increase prices to pay for personal projects but Hotrex is looking out for the working man

Its nice to see something different

 

That manifold looks pretty damn cool to me. I don't see why you guys are jumping on his *** for him using scrap metal for his own manifold.

Defintely a unique manifold.

That was harsh

 

i made most of this mani with my scrap bucket. bt now that its all together it will be measured and the "jdm " pieces will be cut and so on and so forth.

my whole car will make 400 plus whp on a hmt budget. i have less than 2000 dollars semi built devconed longblock , turbokit, clutch, ect includign the price of the longblock,

 

looks ok man. Would of def. used one straight where you used two, but what the hell it is your manifold for yourself. Polish it up and test it out. Good luck.

 

yeah i dont mind it. customers would be getting the fresh pieces. but i had a beer or two and just started tacking stuff together.

is it me or does it look like a little bit of oil is comming out of that compressor? may be no shaft play but how are the seals?

 

it was sitting with the compressor facing down for about 4 months, i suspect itll be just fine, if not ill buy a 60 dollar rebuild kit and go to town.
