New Manifold Fabrication W/ Pics

[R32N00B]

I'm just gonna get right down to it
Was running a poorly built 1 1/4" steam pipe log manifold made with pipe tee's and 90s... It cracked all to shit in a matter of 1000 miles (guy didn't know what he was doing/no purge etc)
He's a couple pics of the log



Like I said within 1000-1500 miles it was cracked to shit!!!!





Nice right??


So here's a sneak peak of my finished manifold before we go through the process




Ok I kid
Here we go!









Quick break to check my pistons for any detonation marks


Nope were looking good back to it

Meanwhile........Still banging out shop work



Back to the fun stuff......








Meanwhile he's doing that I'm sorting out my new fuel system, wiring for the AEM V2, cas trigger disc, suspension, new wheels, hicas abs delete etc

This was a MOTHER****ER btw!



Back to it






Backpurge that mutha f






Taking this weekend off.... Gotta feed my need for speed regardless of the season





Back to work







Yup that gate is going right where you're thinking





Vanjen clamps







Oh hai NuR spec


Oh hai shop



Office view

Getting close
DEI fire sleeve EVERYTHING!





ya tomei oil pump




Mounting plate done



Sent out manifold, downpipe and wastegate hotside to be high temp coated







Yup out the hood.... Raw as f*k
He thought I was bullshitting as was going to pussy out..... Until this very moment of no return










Before/after



Fall is lovely here

Awesome stuff

Might want to move this into the build thread section....

Has it been tuned yet? Chuck up a dyno graph when you do, better yet a video clip lol

[Shoota_77]

Sick!!! I wanna here the thing dumping out of the gate at full noise!

Where you at? Northern States? Canada?

Nice fab work anyway, I agree with the above, full build thread required!

FARK that will be load when the gate cracks open haha

Nice fab work, I've got alot of respect for people who can make manifolds look that good. More patience then I would ever have lol

[R32N00B]

yea its not tuned yet. My tuner is actually a very good friend of mine from way back.... He's so unbelieveably busy with his business and flying planes (second job) we haven't had the time to tune it yet. I switched to AEM (map) from an L-Jet Power FC so we gotta start all over.

we'll see how these ID's like 80psi base fuel pressure.

I had the gate dumping under the car for a while than we recirc'd it into the DP. I think it will sound much better with this manifold over the log style though.

Its getting so late in the season here Im really not rushing it.... I don't know if it will be 100% until spring at this point, we'll see.

PS.... anyone notice its not a GT-R?

hows the boost control?

[R32N00B]

hows the boost control?

It's a 60mm gate

Shouldn't be an issue

Hard to tell in pictures but it's the pipe to the gate is over 2.5inches

Using a Greddy Profec-B spec 2 solenoid with the AEM V2

(The downpipe is 90mm/3.5in and the IC pipe is 3in)

Looks great.

You may have boost control issues when the screamer fills with snow though...

LOL Nahhhh, by the time the motor is warm enough to crack gate the snow will have melted and the gate unfrozen.

Besides, one blast of that gate will blow anything out of the way lol

f**king wow !

Looks insane !

[Joshbigt62r]

Great fab work mate. 110% improvement there.

[Bennis]

Sweet jesus. You MUST post quality audio / videos once complete!

[BlindspottNZ]

approved!!

wonder if the log manifold was done with the wrong filler rod?

[Jswljones]

WOW this is nuts!

Great job!

I'd love to hear it, can you post a vid?

[R32N00B]

approved!!

I know he didnt backpurge..... he also didnt bolt it to steel plate while welding either so the flange kept warping pretty hard.

I will post vids when the time comes but its so late in the season now It might not be until spring/April

What type of material did you use?

[R32N00B]

What type of material did you use?

304L schedule 10 stainless steel pipe
