downtrail Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Hand made RB exhaust Manfolds Quote
flyingbrick Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Nice work there! more patience than me that's for sure. Your shed has a sweet work area Quote
downtrail Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Nice work there! more patience than me that's for sure. Your shed has a sweet work area Not at moment lol. getting too busy got a s13 here for a roll cage and a manifold so im now confined to a small corner lol need to get that lancer out of there. Quote
Yowzer Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Currently in the process of building a turbo manifold, will post some pictures when it looks like a thing. Quote
mjrstar Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 My first attempt at a manifold last year.. they sure do take some time if you are a novice like me, and pairing the ports for twin scroll doesn't make it any easier. 1 Quote
cute wee gem Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 You can see how Sinco and the likes charge so much, I've just made one also and they certainly take a lot of time and planning. Might go grab some pics of my effort Quote
flyingbrick Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 yup. . I tried making one for my 6 cylinder safari once. spent a while in shed then went online and ordered from a shop lol. Quote
downtrail Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Indeed the 6 cylinder manifolds I do take around 11 hours from flanges hanging on the wall to in a box to the customer Quote
downtrail Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Heres a few 4 banger manifolds ive done and looking from the bottom of a 6 cylinder mani 1 Quote

kpr Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 carrying on from the other thread: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41547-nics-engineering-page-of-3d-scanning-cnc-machining-and-other-junk/page-3#entry1272510 slot, bit bigger than throttle body area so doesn't restrict flow. last one i welded directly to the main plenum. but it sucked for a few reasons. this should work nicer. this thing has had a hard life. many angle grinder attacks. runners are choice, so it keeps getting reused. they have a 1.5degree taper along the main runner, flair out to 2" then into a fairly decent size blended bellmouth.

Escortn Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Not really on par with the awesome manifolds above but i rigged up a rear strut brace for my previous c35 Laurel, had a front one aswell but didnt take pics. seemed to do the job, trying to figure out a new one for my daily c35 now Quote
flyingbrick Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That would be doing absolutely nothing. 7 Quote
SOHC Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Here is my home made blacksmiths spring hammer I built a cople yers ago, I use it for my art work, forging, tapering and dwaring out steel bars etc, Its all made from scrap steel. 7 Quote
SOFTLAD Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Can you take some film so we can see it in action? Quote
flyingbrick Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 so that spring compresses to account for material thickness? Quote
