i dont start alot of threads in here showing off my work but i thought this was thread start worthy. i just finished it up a few days ago and finally got pics of it all. its a bw s366 w/ twin 38's and a 4" down pipe.......... and of course the manifold. material is 304 1 1/2" sch 10 pipe for the manifold and 16 gage 304 tube for the DP. dump tube material is 1 3/4" mild steel. all flanges are mild steel. anyways this is the manifold and DP that is replacing racer steves old manifold set up on the new owners car. because steves car was an auto and now its a manual the turbo was in the way of the shifter cables so the new owner had me build him a whole new setup. and here it is............ welds arent the best but all around i think it turned out pretty damn good for being my first big turbo build..........

assembled on car.........





















assembled off car..........











disassembled on table.........









manifold by itself.........

wow...i cant imagine the amount of hours you put into all that.

 

looks good. shouldve went with v-band gates, specially with that tight squeeze

 

Nice work! How many manifolds have you done?

 

Looks good! Are you planning on adding any gussets to that wastegate hanging out there like that?

 

thanks guys, there was at least 40 hours into the fitting and welding of all this, this is my 5th turbo manifold ranging from log, to mini ram to this one, the customer sent me the w/g so i had to make them work. and no i didnt gusset the gate tubing.

Looks great man!! Definitely why didn't you go with v-bands on the gates?

Definitely looks good man. I would extend the wastegate dump tubes further down though. Hard to tell their exit location, but looks a little high.

 

Damn! Hard to make money when ya spend all week on it!

 

oh i had this thing for like 5 months, working on it a little here and there. the customer wasnt expecting to wait that long but he stoked about the final product.

Looking good!
