Turbo

dident that one keep cracking i thought he bought a turbinetech one

steve

looks like it was made with threaded gas pipe

couldnt you just use a tapered plenum type mani rather then steping up the tube size before every ex port
it would be so simple to make, of course it wouldnt have the best airflow in the world, but it would be alot better than the one in the pic above and you could mount the turbo whichever way round you want

i am not sure if it did steve or not that is why i am skin you guys if u no any info .....

how about some thing like this was thinkin about tackin it up and geting some 1 to weld it all up for me

Hi,

Even though, DMW Dave gave me an advise. I'm making mine with 1.5" tubes for all 4 of them. Also, my flange for Turbo will be made with 1.75" fitting.

What I'm trying to do is to make turbo manifold which I can use in small space.
So Steve, your design(equal length) will be end up costly with this setup I'm sure. For me, I would like to keep round front and std length of my Mini so it will be a sleeper..... then again 2" roof chop and raked screen might not be classified as std .

Anyway, I would think each to their own. This will be my setup and if it works, I'm happy! Also, you can say I made this!

I like challenges why do you think I'm building my mini with Gti engine in first place!?

Cheers

ill be using 1 1/4 as is with my other manifold runners are quite long though

if you can tack it then surely you can weld it, or dont you trust yourself?

gary

i aint gonna weld my mani for the simple reason i dont have a tig i dont doubt my miging but i want it pretty lol

steve

p.s the mani dan 87 has posted up is similar to what i will be building

if you dont have a downpipe flange maybe this will be helpful good if you want to run a screamer aswell

steve mate, if you get the right power and feed then the mig will look just fine, as long as you`v got a steady hand that is
even if it dont look pretty then sand it off and polish

gary

i was contemplating that worse case i can just wrap it which is what i would prob do anyway

steve

Hi Steve,

I found one spare SS flange in my garage.
It is 38mm bore size so that I can fit 1.5" OD pipe staright in and weld around it.

Let me know if you want it.

Cheers
Atchi

alright mate yea ill prob have that off of you i did want to use 1/ 14 so maybe ill step the pipework down or something

steve

hi all
gary i am only going to tack it up because my mate refurblish steam engien boilers and is very good at welding and he is also going to presure test it for me so i thought i might as well get him do do the whole lot for me ....

cheers dan

ps or about any bad spellings

Hi Steve,

I have spoken to laser cutting people about bulk buy.
They will do it bit cheaper.
I will pm you the price.

Cheers

atchi
did you get my last email about the tb mani?

gary

Hi Gary,

Yes I got it.
I was going to reply once I got circle ones made then I was going to get in touch with you.

I have made new flange.
It was cheaper for me to cut the other one up.


Also, I have made modifiactions to TBs also.



So, when I'm bored with my NA setup. I can use Turbo/super charged engine!

Once I get everything, I will send you mine to weld up. Then I get one spare set made for you as a payment of welding job!

Cheers
Atchi

they look good may be intrested in a inlet flange aswell
