Some updated pics of some manifolds we've done. These are about 95% done, just need to add wastegate runners where applicable and plain the flanges.

Looking for some constructive criticism(good, bad, or ugly). , ?

 

They look good. In pic #4 the fitment of one of the runners looks a little off where the straight piece meets the elbow. Could just be the camera though

Honestly, they look really good.

 

I guess i dont see which runner your refering to. Maybe this pic will clear things up.

 

whats the inside of the collector look like? Purged?

 

is the larger manifold setup for a foward facing turbo..or for regular horizontal?


btw..they all look great

 

Nice welds

 

welds look nice , but how come you dont prep the steel better ??

 

how many weld passes? they look kinda chunky.
or perhaps the edges arnt chamfered.

made in china

 

how much are you asking for the manifolds?? They look alright....

 

The majority of our metal supply is from across seas. I'll try get a few more pics up.

What are you seeing that you dont think is prepped well?

 

they are referring to all the blck lettering still on the els./

 

The metal is prepped around the weld surface itself. All the markings are removed before everything is sent out the door, just didn't figure it was an issue for a post regarding critique of the fab. I mentioned earlier these aren't 100% completed.

 

Not too shabby..Look pretty good to me..welds look good..Keep it up..Not bad at all..Justin..

what makes you say this? What gives that away?

 

What material is this?


I like the butterfly, which i disagree with I4sillypwr on... I think it came out well!


oh ya, and that long runner one needs braced!!

 

those look aswesome imo

 

Is the one on the left a top mount?

 

No. Look at the orientation of the head flange. It sits the turbo down directly next to the backdoor IC. With the compressor housing clocked you only need a coupler to connect to the IC.

 

Looking good bud!

Just out of curiousity, what machine did you use to weld these?

 

Miller 180

 

 

looks good to me
