kezajones Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm making the manifold for him, I'm a welder by trade, taking the manifold to work this week to cut the hole for external gate piping and strengthen the jig for welding the manifold up, plan is to drill and fit hose tails in the jig for back purging, the bends are schedule 40 90's and 45's like these ( http://www.colglo.co.uk/productlist.php?category=316L_Stainless_Steel_90_Degree_Weld_Elbows ) I cant remember how many we used in the end of the top of my head but it was a fair few plus material to make up the collector and odd little straight pieces Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flintygt Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Material wise Stainless steel flanges £50 from dean @rw developmentsStainless steel bends £140 from my local metal trade center. Plus labour cost ( many red bulls) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kezajones Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Well I've got all the jigs so it can always be replicated but think it needs to under go some decent testing before that could happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 What kind of price would something as sexual as this cost to reproduce?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flintygt Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think before he starts giving price he want to see power figures first. But thanks for all the comments Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kezajones Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Like flint says I would want to test it first and dependent on interest as to a price, also would have to go through the right channels as I wouldn't want to encroach on any forum traders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darraghmh91 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 good job mate .. i could of got the elbows for free out of work did you wirebrush the welds or just leave them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kezajones Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 good job mate .. i could of got the elbows for free out of work did you wirebrush the welds or just leave themCheers, I probably could of had some free as well but I've had quite a few bits from my work already this year for other projects haha, the original plan was to wire wheel all the bends first and then leave the coloured weld, I gave trisk what I thought was the easy job of wire wheeling the bends but he managed to bust it off my bench grinder after the first one ;), so I think the plan now will be to anapol the entire manifold when it's finished and let the exhaust heat colour it in.

Flintygt Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 More work has been done over this weekend. So slam panel was in the way of the new manifould so that has been cut out to make more room. So I decide that the engine Being orange is just a stupid idea. Out she came through the front off the bay with gear box attached. ( silly idea and not easy) Gave her a good degrease and wash. Then the vht paint came out New water pump an starter motor and altanator went back on. Back in the bay looking good......................well better. Thanks for looking and your comments. Much more to come. 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
