boost obsession turbo manifold

[klampy]

is there anymore pics of that inlet manifold? i would really like to see the inside of it. do they cut the base out and turn it, and then re weld it, or is it a bit more in depth than that? im thinkn about modifying the lid to accommodate a tb when i do mine, less hassle that way. i think. :/

Have a look on the MACE site, the make and sell em. (cut and weld the TB neck on the other side)

Hey mate, what size ID steam pipe are u using? I bought 1.5" primary and 2" for crossover

Immortality is correct cut the TB part out and weld it on other side the flip the lid around

Yeah that sounds right i used the same sizes when i made my last set

Sweet cheers I'm hopin to pull the standard manifolds off in coupla weeks and tack the manifolds up then put it back together standard then take it all to work tig it all up then on Chrissy break put the all turbo setup together. Can't wait ay

correct the throttle body is cut out and welded on the other side(inside and out). i just ground it down smooth to look factory.

I make collector style manifolds so the exhaust flow is quite efficient and therefore i use smaller pipe sizes. 32nb (1.25") for primaries and 40nb (1.5") for cross over. 40nb is over half the cross sectional area of a T3 flange and just a touch under the same cross section area of one port in the split pulse T4.
If using log style maniolds definately go to the large pipe size to allow enough flow.

Ok cool, I've got an idea on how I wanna do it, not gonna look as good as urs lol but I wanna make a collector style manifold. I'll probly open a new thread when I start this project anyway as I haven't seen too many vt turbos on here although I'm pretty sure they'd be a few around these days

heres my attempt at a manifold...

38NB into i think 50NB cross over.

Looks like you need a few more amps there mate. And using anti-splatter makes it easier to tidy up when you done. drill some bolt holes in your flange and your on your way.

i was using a 150 amp gassless mig. and i dont have any antisplatter, didnt even know it existed lol.
