After working several hours today i completed a D-series turbo header for picture and demonstrational purposes.. normally i make parts to order but im going to try to have these instock. I will not link people to my website where they can buy these. im simply displaying it. also i will accept suggestions to make them better... which is the main reason i make posts like this.

Specs on these headers:

- 316 Stainless Steel Tubes
- 304 Stainless Steel CNC machined Flanges
- Tapped T3 flange bolt holes for easier installation
- ONLY 45degree bends begin runners to allow exhaust gases to take shape of tubes before taking sharp bends. (improved exhaust flow)
- ONLY 2 SMALL radius bends used to avoid sharp bends in exhaust flow. (improved exhaust flow)
- Milled flat after welding (not sanded flat)
- TIG welded with 312 Stainless Steel TIG rod for high strength welds

The external wastegate flange is not welded on... setup in mill for maching flat is earier without it on.

 

nice mani... but be prepared to put on your flamesuit.

 

its expected when your new to the specific market... i had it on before i made this post

 

Looks strangely familiar

 

probably looks like my B series turbo header hahah which does look very similiar from the side... and compared to others.... how many different ways can you make these things?

 

Just giving you ****, until the heathens come huntin. Looks good, if I didnt get a good price on my Full-Race I would have looked to other options, maybe.

 

wow orignal design

 

Use more filler so here isn't a dip were the runners are welded together. Besides that, I like the use of 45's in place of 90's on runners 1 and 4. Should help flow compared to the other rams horns manifolds on the market.

And all this **** about copying a design. All these guys just copied it from nature.

i agree , you n eed more filler, looks like your skimpin out on it hehehe, also got any pics of the beads looks like you're overheating them, instead of gettin the nice shiny rainbow look which is key to a perfect heated weld. when they turn grey n black its overheated, compromising the strength of the weld.

 

well, a copper-color is prefered for SS welds.

I don't see why people would flame him..
BTW: nice manifold.

 

i also measured the header out and the runners are VERY close to equal length... there all within each other of about 1/2"

 

Nice mani man,

a bit more filler rod would be nice,
and a bit hotter would be nice, a goldish color is preferable, with tint of blue in the weld would be perfect.

anyway, nice work

email me with prices for it shipped at hot_male_69_69@hotmail.com
thanx justin

 

I prefer mild steel flanges as they don't undergo as much thermal expansion. At the very least, if you use SS flanges, make sure the bolt holes are sized to account for expansion.

Judging by the clean appearance of your manifold, you may already know this, just an $0.02.

As far as copying designs... go flame Eagle for copying Carillo.

 

definitely a nice mani......got any pics of the collector ?

 

Where would you stick a wastegate?
