Flints stripping his gt!!! Parts for sale!!!

[kezajones]

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

[Flintygt]

Material wise

Stainless steel flanges £50 from dean @rw developments

Stainless steel bends £140 from my local metal trade center.

Plus labour cost ( many red bulls)

Cheers dude nice to hear it, Yeah we've got a few other ideas in the pipe line which should be pretty cool, hopefully we can get it all done before i tear my mr2 apart and do all of that again!

Quick update for people interested. Quick picture after the welding.

[kezajones]

thats some of the welding anyway, have it broken down to individual runners atm just to get to the bits i couldn't weld in situ, if i get time tomorrow i will weld it all back together to the flange and collector runner by runner.

Ha ha it will not be for sale. Not until I can afford a gt28 with a custom top mount mani bit first dibs for you tobz.

[kezajones]

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.

[TurboTobz]

What kind of price would something as sexual as this cost to reproduce?!

[Flintygt]

I think before he starts giving price he want to see power figures first. But thanks for all the comments

[steviet]

Liking the front mount, were did you get and how much if you don't mind me asking ?

[kezajones]

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.

Gents just a reminder you only sell the odd item on here unless you are a trader

Cheers, 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.

Looks awesome can't trust Trisk to do anything lmao

Cheers dude, still a few bits to do and then we need to put it back on the car to sort out the external gate piping.

Update Flint!

[Flintygt]

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. 👍
