well i haven't been on the board like i used to, but its all for good reasoning. i'm taking baby steps foward with my integra (not my choice, my wallet's ). But finally got around to getting my manifold all tacked up, so lets hear it critics. Keep in mind this is my first manifold

thanks bmcrace and ace stainless








misc details: the wgs' placements have been determined but i'm waiting to get another argon tank for back purging so i can weld up the collectors before cutting the holes for the gates.

its a divided t3 setup, the inlet flange has alot of material that needs to be taken out yet


another reason why i've been absent (fakie hardflip)

Nice man. Postpics whenever you get it welded up completely

 

nice idea to go from 2-1 on the split inlet also looks like the first bend on #1 could use a slight alignment in the one pic , purge the **** out of it and weld her up , should come out realy nice seeing how you dont have any gaps in the joints

yea that runner moved when i pulled the mani off the first time, i thought i had all the runners tacked in 2 spots but that one was the acception. It won't take much to get it back in place. Should be filling my tanks up tomorrow so we'll see what happens

 

looks good man. mybe me and ryan will come out again, then we can go for a ride.

 

lookin good.....its nice to see some sweet hondas from around here....do you drive a white teg by any chance?

 

it was black with a white jdm itr front last year, but its all black now

 

o ok......i thought i might have seen you before, but i guess not

 

are you using 2 wg?s its gonna be tight on the passenger side by the looks of it

 

2 gates sense its a divided tang setup. the gate on the passengerside points up and towards the front, the gates on the drivers side points down and towards the front.

I'm using a waic setup so i have room to put the gates out where the ic used to sit a little bit

 

sorry for the noob question but when you split it 2-1 how'd you get the single ovalled pipes made? just crushed the pipe?

 

Nice work (and fakie hardflip), Chad!!

not a noob question at all. as you can see the collectors are made of 3 pieces. the piece that actually meets the flange is the only one that is ovaled and i did that by putting the very tip of the pipe (make sure its a long piece that way you can hold it so it doesn't shoot out at you) in my press and holding the flange up to it untill i got the desired oval then cut to desired height

Take it easy killer.... yes I was only joking.

 

it's cool

it's just all the little full-race nut riders annoy me...considering there are VERY few mani designs that can actually be linked originally to full-race

 

Where did you get the divided t3 flange, BMC?

Looking good though

BMC made the flange for me, it took a little bit because they were moving shops, but Sam is one of the best hands down so it was worth it.

As for the mani design if you notice all the runners are different but more so the cyls 2 and 3. Whens the last time anyone has seen a divided T3 manifold?? ha.

Anyways all runners ended up being within 3/4"-1/2" of each other in length. I now have the gate arms placed and welded on the collectors. All that is left are welding to the flanges (cept the gates) and welding the runners to the collectors.

It is all tacked and ready to be welded. i was just waiting to pull the old head off so i had something to bold the head flange to so it wouldn't warp. And as i said i plan on getting crazy with it tomorrow so maybe i'll get some completed pics up

Doesn't mean you landed it you Sally.....hahaha

 

Looks good, amazing that fits like that with the H Series alternator being "always in the way". I'd relocate the alternator in the back, or wrap the headers, or your alternator is gonna take a pewp. Looks nice though!
