very nice looking, you do some nice work!

 

good to see it welded up. are you going to form the collector to fit the flange?

We are working on that actually, the collector forms a little gap specially around the edges, and on 16ga even the smallest gaps are hard to fill in. So yeah we are still working on that.

mrbsponge thank you

 

ooooh pretty. now make me one
did you get the collector?

Not yet, did you send me a tracking number ?

Let me build one for the Nissan.

 

More pictures of the 16ga weld, the welds have great pentration which is what I was going for, I'll be the first to admit they don't look as pretty as the sch10 but the main goal for this manifold was to have great pentration so the manifold holds up. What good is a pretty looking weld, if half the manifold is laying on the floor in pieces.

 

Love your photography.

Thank you, only been doing it for about 3 week.

 

Lookin good. Get that collector cleaned up a bit, grind and semi polish. -=P Its soOoo dull.

Getting better.

 

I love the way it flows so smoothly. I think some people get caught up in not having to cut bends too many times like when using pipe.

Good work.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;&lt;&lt;

 

Looks really nice, keep workin hard

 

looks good man now its time to make me one that was fast i remember when you were only talkin about it not its alreaddy done.. RCautoworks does some very very good work so if you guys are in the area i would say goto them.

The collector had a few issues, that's why it does look like that. I did not want to polish the manifold yet, because I wanted to post colored pictures of the welds.

Thanks though

nice.....

 

looks awsome, very nice lookin manifold

 

What size pipe do you use? 1.0"
I am starting welding school soon and would like to make a manifold just for practice when I get in.

Thanks everyone

 

Cool man thank you again as always, and again your stuff looks GREAT!!!

 

How close are the runners in length to each other? Were you going for a specific length as well?

For this one not really, but compared to other designs we have seen, this one is more equal length. Runners 2 and 4 are pretty similar if you look at them, and runners 1 and 3 are also similar.

Few more 16ga welds






Modified by 90blackcrx at 1:38 AM 10/20/2006

 

looks good bob. tube is so much nicer to work with isn't it! much less work involved... less cutting, welding, easier to fit...

 

It really is, more pictures tomorrow of some of the welds, just worked a 14 hour day, I'm drained.

 

Pretty nice stuff man....
