[green91]

[d16_turbo]

[TwoPointOhh]

+reps!

[madking411]

d16_turbo....you said you were going to get them welded when you went to work in the morning...?(earlier THIS morning...) Did you happen to get any more done that we can see?

[d16_turbo]

ye ai got the collector welded. i need to get my motor back in so i can make the rest. i will get pics of the collector up tonight

[1point8turbo]

ill have your t3 flange done tomorrow. just text me tomorrow and remind me before my first break (9:30).

[d16_turbo]

ok

[1NonlyAccord]

well normal mig welding hold up?and a few coats of high temp paint and wrap?

[japan4racing]

i believe he is TIG'ing it at work

[1NonlyAccord]

i believe he is TIG'ing it at work
ya i read that part,but i was kinda asking my own question if mig welding would withstand the heat?cuz i only have a mig welder at my house.
Not trying to thread jack..its a related topic-trying to make my own also:goodjob:

[d16_turbo]

yea i think that if you mig weld it that it will hold.......... i had a obx manifold about a year ago that cracked and a mig welded it and it held up good

[1NonlyAccord]

what bout welding cast to stainless? i cut my OEM header and got the header flange from it.mayb ghetto but it should not crack.lol

can u get the weld els at home depot?

[AnthonyF]

kool as hell! reps for doin it yourself!! thats badass

[d16_turbo]

what bout welding cast to stainless? i cut my OEM header and got the header flange from it.mayb ghetto but it should not crack.lol

can u get the weld els at home depot?

no i ordered them from a piping shop in macon. they were like $7.10 each for 1 1/2" schedule 40 304 stainless. the only thing is the place i ordered my pipe from is that the straight piece only comes on 20 foot sections so it gets a little expensive. the weld els were $100 after tax and shipping and the straight was $255.

[d16_turbo]

i put some more pics up. they are on the first post

[slow_hatch]

Very nioce :goodjob: I made my own, but its just a log using mild steel :rolleyes:

[d16_turbo]

i will be making a log manifold very soon for a friend and ill post more pics

[redrumracer]

how much pipe you have left over or have you not fig that out yet

[d16_turbo]

i will probably have around 13' of straight left over

[1NonlyAccord]

any updates? pics?

+1

[DoriDori]

awesome man, good luck with the fabing

[drmcivicsi]

any more pics ?

[madking411]

[d16_turbo]

[k20siboii]

[d16_turbo]

it will be awhile till i get to test it out

[Tree]

nice nice nice... thats going to be nice... is the turbo going to be down by the bumper?

[d16_turbo]

is the turbo going to be down by the bumper?

what do you mean by down by the bumper

[drmcivicsi]

thats ****ing badass let us know when u get pics of it all welded up

[drmcivicsi]

btw are u going to tig the rest of it or mig cuz i see the mig gun on the ground or are u just taching it with a mig

[d16_turbo]

yea im going to tig it. i just used the mig to tack it in place

[SL65AMG]

so what did you bend the piping with? and was it at home or in a shop?

and how are you gonna reconnect the frame?

[EK Hotch]

That looks freaking awsome man!! gl with it.

[japan4racing]

and how are you gonna reconnect the frame?

its not getting reconnected its just the core support and with the traction bars he will be running you can get cups for the radiator to sit in

[drmcivicsi]

yea im going to tig it. i just used the mig to tack it in place
question why not mig it ?

[d16_turbo]

tig is stronger and it looks alot better

[redrumracer]
