i still need to weld it together but its going in a talon (not eclpise) esi with the 420a engine. hes running a t3 hotside and a synapse 40mm w/g. i think fitment is good now i just gotta get it welded up. also this car is not running p/s and a/c for those of u that may question its size and w/g placement. well enjoy


mike

 

fitting looks good. it looks really heavy. be sure to add some support where needed. just curious why you didn't go with 1.25" for the wg elbow? it matches the port size a bit better than 1.5", but if all you had available is 1.5", then that makes sense. either way, it will still work.

 

man that looks like you took your time! cant wait to see it welded! great job

 

thats would be why sir.......... but at the same time ive never thought about using the 1.25" piping for the w/g. ill probably do that on the next one now that u say that though, good call.


mike

 

Very nice. Good job Mike.

 

Nice work Mike! Post some pics when you get it welded up.

 

Updates on the mammoth manifold?

 

lmao!!! yeah i wana see it all welded

 

up side down alomost looks like a top mount.. except the turbo would sit like 6 inches out the hood lol

 

whats up woth runner one? looks like you just gave up and made something work.

also i don't think the manifold flows well.

 

Sometimes sarcasm is hard to discern on the internet, is this a joke? I guess there is a use for emoticons afterall. . . Where the heck did they go on this board?

 

as in the design flows poorly. maybe i should have made myself clear.

as i was talking about the design of a runner i thought people would put 2 and 2 together.

 

Okay, I understand what you're saying, I guess my impression of whether it would flow well or not was just a bit different from yours.

 

It doesn't really look like he gave up. Number 1-4 runners look identical, like it was planned out that way.

 

there arnt very many cheated radius's.. it will do the job.. and be one of a kind for that car.. the 420a is very limited to manifolds..

 

i was low on piping so a section on the number 4 runner does look a little shady but it will do. this is a one off for the owner, i was originally gonna pair the runners so that it fired in order around in a circle when entering the collector........ u know what i mean. anyways its done and the welds arent my best but again it will do heres the pics..........



its done............

that head flange looks warped as hell.

 

x2

 

it kinda does... id run it up against a belt sander or get it decked..

 

Could be an illusion of the photography. I was taking pictures of an ugly old log manifold I made the other day, and when I looked at them I was like, "what the hell, I welded this thing with it bolted to a head?" So then I went and laid the flange flat on the table, and it was almost perfect. . . I'm guessing Mike didn't mess this up like it looks, it's not his first try!

 

i dont think a belt sander is going to help that. he needs to bolt it down slowly while heating it then leave it bolted down tight until it cools completely. hopefully that works.

i ruined a t3 flange i had when i welded the collector to it all at once. it warped up about 3mm on each side. o well live and learn!

 

i want to believe that its just an illusion from the camera's lense.. but that same curved effect is not in that area on the other pics.. if so.. damn, that **** is WARPED!

 

i bolt them and my intakes to a 1" thick steel plate before welding and them leave them bolted to the plate until cooled all the way, they warp, they always will. also all my manifolds get resurfaced wether it be on the belt sander for the lighter stuff or the mill for the bad stuff before they get to their new owner.
