    Re: Mike's Badass Quad Carb Manifold!! Build PICS!!!

    Hey, when do you want this thing? I really want to finish it up nice before I ship it, but I tore the cartilage apart that holds my chest together. I'd love to get this thing cleared up and shipped before, say, weekend after next?

    All it needs is a couple low spots filled in the weld, spatter cleaned off and porting finished, outside welds blended, polished all over, and seal face machined

    Dude, are you okay? That sounds terrible. I was wondering where you've been. No worries. I'm not picking up that other B20A until next month anyways. So, no sweat man. Take your time, as much time as you need to really make it pretty! Hope you are doing allright.

    I'm on two weeks light duties pending doctors re-evaulation at the end of two weeks.

    Hauling on the chuck wrench of a semi-fucked old lathe is what actually caused this injury....

    Re: Mike's Badass Quad Carb Manifold!! Build PICS!!!

    Well I'm back



    I didn't go for a full cleanup on the welds, because I don't want to sacrifice any material on the thin (.040") tubing. The bottom side is a bit more austere, but the only thing that will be seeing that is John's oil filter.



    There's some spatter inside the tubes that's proving impossible to remove. I'm gonna try wrapping some 120 grit around a shaft chucked in my drill tomorrow to get rid of it.



    I started thinking about a particular thread here on 3gizz and before I knew it, I'd polished the flange to a shining luster!

    Yeah, if the welds looked decent, I would have left them there. However, our shop doesn't have aluminum TIG, and the sides of the runners needed quite a large buildup to create the transition between port and tube.





    Grinding off all that weld caused a new problem. There's porosity that's causing pinhole leakage in one runner for sure. I put a few tacks on it tonight and ground it off, but it still leaks....And the material is so thin I can't burn in the weld hot enough to float out the contaminants.





    Of course, today I thought I was finished with it so I milled the flange flat again. Took a couple hours because the way I had it held in the vise was, well, the opposite of rigid. The flange was warped about .030" high in the middle, so it took a bunch of .004-.005" passes to get it to clean up.

    But now I find out I have to weld on it again.

    Oh hey I've finished this by the way. John, PM me your address (for like the 9th time, I keep losing it) so I can mail it back.

    Oh hey, I'm leaving the brace tacked to the tubes in case you have to move it at all. Once the final length is figured, somebody can tack it in a few more spots, I guess.

    Got it in the mail. What a work of art. I'm going to put it on display in an art gallery until I get my engine ready to go. I swear, what an amazing-looking piece. Everybody should pay this guy to build custom parts!
