turbo manifold...

[Accordtheory]

damn that's all i get for all my blood sweat and beers....lol
2 pat's on the back and see ya!

you guy's know this thread isn't just for me, accordepicenter and accordtheory to post in right! right!
OK! lol

thanks bitesize and labeledskater you guy's rock! (as "Iron man" plays in the background)
i am a little old to be rocking out like that but what hell i was a stoner back in the day and that was my era!

You should pat yourself on the back when you're all done and get back to your old ways..although i'll admit it is somewhat hard to fabricate while being high as a kite..
And we all know this thread is off limits to other people

Here's a question that's been bugging me for a while. How do you get in and weld all the way around the pipe when the joint is right next to another pipe, or at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions of the 2-3 tubes on the flange? I've got a lot of experience on a MIG gun and I know that they can be pretty cumbersome in really tight spots like that. Also, the 4 inside faces right off of the collecter. How do you get in there to weld? I'd considered sneaking a 5/32 7018 rod in there and welding away, way narrower than the diffuser tip on the MIG. I know people do it, just not how.

I cut the collecter completely off of the header for my toyota, I chopped it both before and after and completely re-welded it, as the flange broke off and the metal between the 4 pipes had died. I just stuck it in the chop saw, and cut halfway through on each side, then flipped it and finished cutting from the other side. A bandsaw would have been nicer, but it worked. I just grabbed it in the vise, with a parallel under the narrow side to keep it flat.

your answer is to weld each piece separately. between the runner on 2-3 i welded runner 3 first slightly grinded the weld then welded runner 2 welding part of the wall of 2 to 3. there is not allot more you can do there.
on the collector you would weld in 2 half's also.
weld say 1-4 and 2-3 on the vice then weld the 2 half's together welding the outsides first, the you will weld the interior. you'll end up pooling the weld slightly in the center were the intersection is.

that came out really nice jerry. I still have a load of work to do on mine. I bet yours will still look better than mine even when im finished. Grinding welds down is too baller for me

its almost time for you to start your build thread isnt it?

naw! yours looks pretty cool and i am sure you'll get alot of attention.

As for it being baller,you dont know my friends! They'll clown me if it didnt look like a brand new $100 bill.lol..

...As for it being baller,you dont know my friends! They'll clown me if it didnt look like a brand new $100 bill.lol..

i have to agree though takeing that extra step to grind down the welds really gives it that extra touch... are you sending it in for ceramic coating?? or just leaveing it stock/heat wraping...

I am going to try and find someone here in town that does ceramic coatings and do that.hell i might just throw it on my accord just to see how it feels.

i was cold and for some reason they came out in black and white.
i call it old school pic's! lol

[EricW]

Looks good but you really need to take some pics in better lighting conditions to see it really well.

[bobafett]

wow looking great!

[ZackieDarko]

thats a hell of a turbo

[knarg]

that manifold looks awesome!! i want one!

[89T]

thanks guys.i'll get better pics soon.

[thegreatdane]

Great work! Which way are you going to point the compressor outlet?

That compressor side looks nice and big I'm excited to see how your dyno graph will look.

[89T]

wow looking great!

thanks i appreciate it.

nice and big lol.

make me a reasonable offer.

its pretty much set. unless i get a water/air intercooler.

i cant wait either. ive been lazy so i havent got new pics.

[89T]

i had new pics but imageshack is f****ng up..

edit:for some reason i cant post full size pics. sorry.

[labeledsk8r]

i had new pics but imageshack is f****ng up..

NOOOoooo0000ooo00OO lolol

photobucket FTW!!

[89T]

got them up kinda..lol
it still needs some cleaning and i need to figure out where i want to put the wastegate.

[labeledsk8r]

looks good man, tight fit. got a kinda stupid question... are you not going to be running a filter?? doesnt seem like you have room for one...

[89T]

race car ftw!lol
na no filter,ill put in a screen if i drive it on the street.

there isn't going to be anything around the header..I am in the planning stages of my coupe being a step away from a full-race car. meaning a full wire tuck, and the removal of everything that doesn't hold the motor or need to be wired to the management.the coupe will also recive a 8 or 10 point roll cage and sub-frame connectors.
the motor is going to be pulled from the sedan and installed into the coupe. The coupe motor wiill be rebuilt turbo charged and installed into the sedan with an obd1 conversion. both will be converted to e-85 fuel.
both will have to be dynoed so the sedan will be tuned for 15psi and the coupe will recive 25-35psi.
this isn't going to be "I'll have it done in a month" type project.

[labeledsk8r]

doh, i should read the first posts lolol, sounds good man, just looking at all these turbo builds going on is makeing me want to get started on my own. cant wait to get my life going so i can

[89T]

it's all good.pm me when you are ready, i'll build you a manifold.

[89T]

well i finally have some updated pics. I havent had a whole lot of time as of late, with work, famly, and trying to buy a house.
this winter about killed me so i have been playing catch up with no money to spend on the ride.
anyway i hope you enjoy!
