Well since my ssauto **** manifold has been retired due to non-stop cracking around the wastegate & collector, it was time for a new manifold.
I had this idea and I used that top half of D16Z6 Exhaust manifold to make a top mount and made a 2-1 collector. I am still unsure if this will flow ok or not, looks like it should, but if it doesn't oh well.

I got the Downpipe fabbed up and still need to finish the lower charge pipe & mount wastegate.

I am still getting used to welding so my welds dont look the best...lol

Here are some pics

thoughts ? or

nice setup. i think alot of people would buy it if you ever wanted to sell.

 

gHeTTo FaBuLoUs......but very creative

 

That is some awesome home made manifold action.I opened this expecting a full race style manifold but I think i am more impressed by this.

 

very damn creative good ****

 

very cool, man that manifold couldnt have cost more than 100 bux to make, which makes it even cooler

 

Very creative use of stock parts! You should fab several up with good welds and see if people are interested.

 

That just made my friggin' day! Representing the D, yo! Are you going to rock the heatshield? Sooooo HMT! Love it.

 

buddy that is soo "explecitive" cool, I had never thought about that, next manifold forsure, haha that is awsome. Congrats, I hope everything works out great for ya, hopefully the runners on the stockie arent too small.

 

thanks for the feedback!

Yeah this mani has HMT written all over it, I dont even think I have a heatshield for it so It will probly get heat wrapped, and this mani cost me less than $40 bucks to make (I already had the exhaust mani already)

hopefully it flows good I should have it all back together tommorrow

 

haha thats awesome man suprised hasent been thought of before, good job

 

Simply awesome The welding could be better, but it's all about using what you have available at home/shop

The idea of using the stock manifold and fabbing an extension piece is unbeatable. Imagine using a nice CNC flange and nice TIG welding... Voila, mass produced "sub $200" topmounts...rofl

 

great, you could make a killing off selling those.

where you routing the piping for the thing now?

 

this is awesome. imma try this on my beater with the d16a6, ghetto build ftw

 

thats awsome dude. what kind of piping did you use? I may try fabing something up just for the hell of it. just out of a old junk manifold...not my good neukin lol

 

I never thought I could use hmt and topmount manifold in the same sentence This is sick as hell man

I used what I had laying around, the weld elbows are 1.5" 1.4 ID sch 40 (1/8" thick) and the collector is just 1.5" exhaust piping.

what thing u talking about? lol

 

Thats awesome. Regardless of performance, you get a for creativity. Maybe you could brace the turbo using the holes for the heatshield. Dont know if that would do more harm then good though.

 

props!

 

haha thats awesome! i think im going to make one for my car now

 

Really cool idea. And a very nice job of turbo placement. HMT rules
