This manifold is for a 2.0L Neon with an eclipse gs head (mirror image of the head...just backwards) 1-4 and 2-3 are paired. The collector is smoooooth as glass and transitions perfectly to the flange. Equal length within .5"...low angle merge collector...its pretty tight IMO.








This manifold was done for an H-T member. He wanted a TopMount Manifold for a B series... and he specifically said that he wanted it to be just like the F-R manifold. So judging by the pics on full-race's site I did a pretty good replica IMO.

GREAT WORK!!!.

I really like the Neon Manifold! Are you back purging these manifolds?

sometimes! Depends on if I have two tanks full of argon! I typically do triple pass welds. Root, fill, and then cap.

 

Very nice work

 

nice work

 

Nice work, was it a pain welding inbetween the collectors?

 

Hey Eric, generic welding comment!

You know your good haha

 

I happen to see the top mount B-series in person tonight. I happen to buy a OBD-2 distributor for my car from the guy that owns it. It was in his car and I asked him if I could take a look at it. Eric does great work, I was impressed with the quality. Small world, cause I was just talkin to Eric the other day and he had mentioned he was working for a top mount for someone local. Good stuff man, can't wait for you to do my setup. I really liked the way you did the collector, and wastegate port. All nice and smoothed out, and just look flawless. I did notice it was not backpurged, but the welds look good, plus your local haha. I know if I ever had a problem you'd fix it. That collector did kinda look like a pain, but they usually are.

 

nice work. that first manifold looks like it weighs a ton! just a suggestion: i like to weld the inside of the head flange to runner joints. perhaps you hadn't done it yet.

 

I usually weld the inside of the head flange too...but he wasn't too keen on that due to the resulting warpage.

 

I've seen better.

 

 

Are these manifolds sch40 or sch10?

Regards,
Justin

 

looks ******* sweet eric!

 

sch 10 justin.

 

Looking Good Guy. I must say your skills are definitely that of a good fabricator. Keep up the good work!

 

the b-series topmount looks badass...

 

awesome work

 

thanks for all the comments and suggestions!

Today I went and bought another 330 cubic foot bottle and a regulator(nice one) so I can backpurge pretty much all my work.

Last night I finished a custom pipe for a KTM 650 (single cylinder motard)..turned out really badass however i didn't snap any pics! I'll have to call him and see if he can take some pics.

 

just curious what filler are using if you dont mind me asking?

 

please post pics of the welds from the inside of the pipe if possible who cares how nice it is on the outside


lets see some penetration !!!!

 

.035" SS 316 wire.

I'll post some backpurged pics up soon. I just bought an extra 40cf bottle to hold argon for purge instead of using my 330's

 

Nice lookin neon manifold, I really like how it looks.

But yeah the inside weld appearance that counts big time, sch10 theres no need to do triple pass, in fact sch10 is fine with one pass with properly prepared bevels, backpurge a must.

 

nice wrk, are selling u manifolds? one of my buddies with a neon is looking for one

 

damn nice welds sir!
