not with me you POS, I have seen it very early! MY friend will solder you!

The pipes on the flanch are soldered and the pipes to pipes are welded. I hope it is fixed after the soldering work and will never happen again!

BTW: I have stock engine mounts, should I insert stronger ones, so the engine can not move that much up and down...would this help a header from cracking?

 

rewelding it with the proper filler rod is a very good idea. However, i dont think it is soldered, that is robotic TIG welding. I strongly recommend that you do not solder/braze it.

Inserting better mounts will help, but building a brace is the best way to prolong the cracking.

BTW: throw another shrimp on the barbi mate! j/k

LOL, I dont get that slang tel me what that means!

Where to mount a brace man?!

 

buy a new manifold, max rev or inline pro, screw that pos ebay crap

 

get cheapturbo.com's manifold.

 

link me. How does that look?! I want an T3 flanched tubular manifold. Faster spool. I did not bought it on ebay.

I will give him one more chance. If he try to crack again I will melt it and sell it for pounds price

Hey christian that term is australian term its used down under. Geoff just making fun

lol...

 

why the hell put the freaky Australians shrimps on the barbies. What does that mean?! This is fishy

 

Awww man. This means downtime on your car which equals no more cool videos for the time being. I must've watched the "type-r musik" one 20 times already.

 

hahaha we'll call you the alligator hunter lol.

 

ffgeoff, why does that happen?

I had the same crack on my NA Comptech header (it was also robotic TIG).

 

that's the spark manifold right?

 

1) if its a poor quality robotic tig (most are) then they do a scallop of metal at a time, not a smooth flowing weld. This produces many stress risers and a stress riser is where a crack starts. Once the crack starts here, it propagates &lt;cracks more&gt;

2) very few people who run robotic tig welders take the time/money to send their samples out to get analyzed for proper welding. Its impossible to "guess" how well it is working, and you cant "feel" it like you can when welding by hand.

 

"Shrimp on the barbie" is american slang for: "you need a FR manifold so you wont have cracking problems."

 

hey AUSTRALIAN

JK bro, glad to see u on here besides Hondapower. Anyways are u running the Rev HARD Mani? Anyways sucsk bout your MANI bro. Hope u get it fixed soon.

It was froma movie called DUMB and DUMBER
throw another shrimp on the barbie

 

Get the cracks repaired properly followed by adding expansion slits and braces to the manifold. I ran my Kiwi mani for 13 months with no problems. All I did was add two braces that connected the head flange to the turbo flange.

 

[QUOTE=austrian type-R]QUOTE]

so what brand is yours????

 

it is the Meng header.

 

Hey all u wanta be aussies !! ehhe

Get with the time dudes.. its prawns not shrimps...eheh I invite all of you around to my country... Australia.
We can go kangroo shooting.. and have bbq's every nite with prawns and steak... and then at nite street race or track with with my turbo honda !

Regards James

 

I'm in for the roo shooting, bastards are annoying (they seem to like running straight in front of your car you see...)

Gimme a few weeks and they'll be another turbo Honda terrorising the skylines and V8's around here
