I know this isnt a big deal but it is to me! took a few hours to get this far... going to try some different designs... mostly just get get experence... i'll post em up here as i go... anyone have a DIY for a mini collector? or am i better to just make something out of sheetmetal?

is this just a log manifold with the turbo hanging off the center? If so why not just use 2 T's and 2 L's?

 

just tring to learn technique with out taking the 'easy' road. Also this allows for directioal flow with less turbulance.


it is going to have an offset to the right flange.

 

Nice anyway man. Let us n=know how it turns out.

 

be sure to post some pictures on the other forums when you finish it up, andrew.

 

Are you using TIG or MIG?

Hey guys... Troy you who i think you are? xd.xom?

I am using my hobart mig... i am pretty good so it should come out nice.

working on a new idea tonight/tomorrow willl post it up.. got to get good with making 'collection' points.

Do they make DYI log type manifold kits?

 

Yea they do... i dont have a link though.. a little over 150 USD i think.... does anyone have any advice to make a simple 'short' collector?

thanks!
Andrew

 

DIY kit.................Stealthmode Performance

 

The notching of the pipe looks great. Did you do it by hand or with a tubing notcher?

 

Atually it was all done by hand... lots of shaping time.. I am working on a different design tonight, i will post up pics late. Going to give a try on 'collector' deigns.

Andrew

 

looks good

 

heres another one i started tonight.. didnt have time to work on the collection point... going to try that tomorrow night

Andrew

 

In the second design,I don't like that the piping length is gonna be different on some of the runners, and a pretty big difference to. Unless your gonna hook back with the 2 runners

 

i want to see the second final design and how the migging will look...seems like something simple, but different.

 

my biggest issue is the collector... i may have to revise the second design.. the collector would get ugly if i kept on the same path.. any advice?

 

Start with the collector first.

 

Yea i think i am going to try that next time... i think that is my downfall.

yep, its me, which brings me to my next question.

did you draw that flange in CAD and have it laser cut?

when I get the damned time, i'll be looking to make a header, so it would be valuable to know the details on the flange.

 

make runners 1&4 come togher, then 2&3 come together and put the turbo in the middle. hey, its an old idea, but it works, so why re-invent the wheel. bright idea.


good thinking/being creative though.

 

nice ****. how do you crush the pipe to accomodate to the oval head flange holes?

in a vise

 

tharptroy: he got the flanges from me, I have around 32 more of the Hyundai Flanges sitting here.

And here is the design I have been building and using in my kits:

 

what's so horribly bad about the primary tubes being differnt lengths....its been proven on sbc's and such that it helps midrange, and low end torque.....now for the guy that is building a drag car thats another story.....
