I just purchased a diy tuner toys mani off of someone here on HT, and when it came i noticed that the flange holes didnt line up with the piping shown in this pic...


is it supposed to be like that? this is supposed to be for b series by the way. COuld i maybe have gotten a d series flange by mistake? it seems a little odd the pipes would be beveled and everything when they will have to be cut anyways to be the right size...

 

i think u might need to cut them to size.

 

you might need to trim the tee connections and rebevel or send that back to the guy and have him show or tell you

 

your going to have to cut to fit everything.

thats why its a DIY<U></U> manifold kit. you have to do all the prep work and welding. they just give you the parts.

 

alright thanks. Was just wondering cuz it seems kind of pointless to bevel the piping if they know we'll need to cut it...

 

get ahold of tuner toys and see what they say

 

jesus, you have to ******* cut to fit. dont call them, because if i worked there, i would laugh at you. They will say..... cut to fit. DIY !!!!!!

 

they didnt bevel them the pieces, they came like that and you to can purchase your self and save some money. you could get those pieces from MCMASTER-KARR- but you would still have to purchse the flange itself. ohand just bevel one side because thats all you will need, and it will save you some filler rod or wire.

i thought they themselves beveled the piping so i wondered why they would go through the process of beveling the piping if they knew we would have to cut the piping, thast why i wondering if we had to cut the piping or if i was missing something.

 

put the flange on your head..see if its acutally for a bseries...your gonna have cut the pipes to make it fit..

Yup, and thats the hardest part in my opinion. We sell kits like this that already have the pipe cut and ready to be welded, its a little more but if you don't have the tools to cut it, its worth it.

Hondaboy.....also before welding to your flange, make sure you have it oriented properly. One stud is higher on one corner than the other on the B heads. If you weld everything to the wrong side of the flange your going to be f*cked and pissed all at the same time.

Another little helping deal is make all your cuts to the T's and use the elbows whole. If you cut down the elbows at all, the height will change and they won't line up with the T's. Use the entire elbow, then do all your fitting by cutting the T's.

Post pics when your done

If you cut the T's to much though the gap at the bottom will form also.

ya i was planning on trying to cut mostly into the T's. What do you mean exactly by the flange part? how do i know which side is the right side to weld to?

 

The flange will only fit on the head one way, so if you weld the pieces on the wrong side your sol. So put it on the head first, then make some kind of mark so you know which side you are working on.

 

send it back and get your money back and buy a already made one it will prolly be a bit more but it less bullsh**. you can pick up a already made log for about 200

Some people do like to make them and try it out, but cutting sch10 is not as easy as some people might think, specially when you don't have the right tools.

 

i know how to cut it and how simple it is lol. but for 200 bucks to have one made to your likeings is so much better there are plently of fab shops that will do it!

This guy bought DIY kit, just thinking you could weld it up. I'm assuming he does not have a bandsaw or chopsaw, get out the hacksaw maybe.

 

or email ccfab and say send me a log lol and sell the ugly green one lol

 

i purchased this mani because right now i am taking adult courses at a local technical school, and i have been practicing tig for a little while and just laying beads has gotten a little boring so i decided i wanted an actual project, so this is my project. The green will be removed and the whole mani when done will be coated. The shop i take classes at has everything i would need to do this project, welders, cutting tools etc.

 

you hae the correct idea, do it your self. forget what people say this will be the best way for you to learn and next time the people who say just buy one will be calling you for that.

 

Be sure to sandblast all that green coating off the pipe fittings, cut the T's to fit and the manifold will come out just fine
