this is the first twin turbo manifold ive done. any comments on bracing ths thing besides what ive done would help alot, thanks

 

Those look like stainless flanges....

If they are you can expect some warpage.

 

they are small, and rather thick..i bet it will be fine..

how thick is the piping here?

is there any way to brace it off of the block also? i think you'd have some more effective support off of the blcok

cool stuff

 

Looks great. Nice work.

 

its 2" schedule 10 piping which is really 2.5 od and 2.25 id, lol. 316 stainless

If those flanges are SS they will warp. Trust me. I have first hand experience with this. SS is very unforgiving, especially with flanges.

Looks good though.

 

nice and shiny. i'd definitely try to find somewhere for some bracing... that is a bit of weight for each runner on their own. maybe add some webbing inbetween them?

 

Actually, what I would do is make some form of brace resembiling the F1 styles with the heim links. It looks like there would be enough room to take a couple points off the block, and triangulate something that can hold up both turbos.

 

Looks really nice and I agree, that mani will def. need some braceing.

 

i love it looks sick

 

what did you use to polished the pipes before you welded them?

 

looks to me like a die grinder and some buffing or sanding pads.

well I know he used some kind of sanding pad with some kind of rotary tool...Im asking specifics...what grit, what size, etc? I've been playing with this and maybe it's the camera but yours looks like a lot better finish.

enrish fixed
