any pics of that manifold on a motor?

 

I'd have to mock it up on another car since my motor is not done yet. BTW, this manifold will work on 13BTs as well.

 

the best deepest welds can be achieved with an arch welder if the proper steps are taken to prep the welds and you clean them every time

2nd to that is tig welding for precision control and the flexibility of working on many different metals

mig is just fine for any kind of steel mig can be just as strong as tig as long as the prep is done right for the welds and the settings on the machine are correct for the app

then there is tourch welding which can be very strong in the proper hands of a skilled welder key thing here is surface prep



all different styles have there goods and bads
torch welding is slow time consuming and spreads alot of heat through the metal

arc welding lacks percision control and you have to clean up the slag if you stop in the middle of a weld perfectally to restart the weld cant weld aluminum at all

mig is shitty for aluminum

tig is time consuming and takes alot of skill

as for being stronger than one another its all up to the welder to do that any form of welding can be as strong as the next its just really about skill and knowlege of the material and the form of welding .


key thing that makes a strong weld in any case is surface prep!!!!!

 

I got the manifold and turbine housing back from the ceramic shop. Check it out and see what it difference it makes. Oh and I'll give you a sneak pics of the new dubs

 

damn those wheels are badass

 

Hey man nice job on the manifold, are you putting the same car together or a new one, i will be moving to Savannah at the end of the month, i might get one of those manifolds, looks great and can he make it for 20B's

 

I'm building a new FD with the engine from my old one. He can make it for 20B's since his room mate, another buddy of mine, is building a bad *** 3 rotor

 

Cool hopefully we can meet after i get setup in Savannah, my brother lives in Kisimmee, and im geting my car painted in tampa "uncles have a paint shop there"

 

my friend here is doing the same thing "bad *** 3 rotor" the manifold is for him, i l let him know about this thread

 

CCW's? So jelous Rey! Cant wait to see the car done man. Let me know if you need anthing.

charlie

 

Daaaamn that's niiice.

Whoo, boy I tell you what :-D

 

Yeah, I've had the wheels since January. Thanks for the offer, I may have to take you up on that soon

 

manifold looks great Rey.. Abe does good work.. My intercooler piping he did is still going strong..G

 

Manifold and turbo are on the motor, and the motor is finally in the car!

 

so, how much for the manifold?

 

Looking Good!

when are ya going to fire her up?

 

great fab skills man! looks great!

enjoy that ceramic coating.. makes a world of difference. i wouldnt have any headers or turbo manifolds that are NOT coated on any car. they look better and keep heat trapped inside as well as cool off faster. i love my coating. got it from JET HOT.

 

Motor runs just have some minor electrical bugs I gotta sort out.

 

Manifold will run between $450-$500.

 

Looks like you're almost ready to come down to West Palm.

 

Better see ya at aldo's tomorrow!

 

Silvio, I won't be able to drive down until end of June atleast. I leave on vacation next week and I'll be gone for a month.

Charlie, I'll deff see you at Aldo's tomorrow, but I won't have the FD. I'll be with my girl and it's hot as ***** in the thing with no AC.

 

glad your new one is running again....

 

Thanks man. I'm happy this one is finally done. Still got a few bugs to work out of her but she's running
