Let me know what ya think!

My welds are getting a lot better, and it is taking me FAR less time to finish up a manifold. I hope to have a couple new designs out here soon.

That looks pretty nice IMO. I'd be interested in some critiques because my welding ends up looking very similar.

keep up the good luck

95cxh22a · 07-08-2006, 11:56 PM

nice, i like the gate braces

JDMs1eeper · 07-09-2006, 07:59 AM

lookin great man

CBURKE · 07-09-2006, 08:39 AM

damn, good job. I can only hope my welds will look like that one day.

weiRtech · 07-09-2006, 09:25 AM

your interior welds almost look better than the exterior!

ManBearPig4silly · 07-09-2006, 09:32 AM

Looking better. If I may I would suggest trying to keep the filler in the puddle and weaving back and forth in a Z pattern. Kind of a pseudo cup walking pattern. It should help keep the butt welds more consistant and avoid carrying any contamination into the weld with the filler when you dab it.

Interior welds do look better lol.

Beautiful Bryson! Did you make that collector yourself? Keep up the good work

tepid1 · 07-09-2006, 09:44 AM

Your right B you are getting much better.... Good job man.

SQ is the SQUAD · 07-09-2006, 10:27 AM

looks beautiful. keep up the good work and rember to help those just starting out and hopefully we will make less mistakes. and if god forbids it does end up failing, there is no shame in letting us know. alot of us are really here to help and learn. but there are those who are here to hate and hurt, fukk em. good work? what did you use to weld it? how long you been welding?

beak · 07-09-2006, 11:12 AM

Looks nice... will the external fit? looks like not much room....

erebunicrx · 07-09-2006, 11:46 AM

does not look bad.. but did you clean the metal before you welded it? also just wondering why the last runner goes way out? but over all not too bad. i know your welds are better then mine (for the time being)

HamiltonRex · 07-09-2006, 01:24 PM

Looks good.. You didnt answer my PM i sent a couple weeks back ?

TurboSI56 · 07-09-2006, 02:45 PM

and how many passes?

also, on that 4th runner, is there any reason why you didnt just use one piece of pipe, instead of the 2 welded together?

It's a BMC collector. I just welded it up.

I use a T3/T4 and a 38mm gate to fab up the manifolds...so yeah, it fits.

Of course. You can see where I sanded the ends. The last runner goes way out in order to avoid the compressor. If you have seen the pics of my personal setup, you can see that the compressor sits right between the #1 and #2 runners.

90 for the pipe-pipe welds, and 120 for the flange welds.

I only made one pass. For that 4th runner, I originally had one piece but I kinda messed up when I welded that runner on. I had it a little offset, so I had to cut it, and reweld it. I won't make that mistake again though.

kordenbrock motorsports · 07-09-2006, 07:45 PM

looks good, hit that shit with a wire brush dogg it will make it look a lot better. topmount is in our near future too. how close to equal length is this, if at all? keep up the good work. practice makes perfect...

brett

spiceisler · 07-10-2006, 06:48 AM

Definitely better Bryson! Wire-wheel the pieces before welding, you'll have a more finished-looking piece like this:
