i got it all tacked up and ready to weld but dont have the pics up yet. i dont really know what deign u would call this but theres about a 4" differnce in runner length between the 2 pairs (no biggie if u ask me) and they arent paired how i would have liked but it turned out sweet if u ask me. ill have the pics up later tonight.


mike

heres the pics thus far guys.........

ummmm.....
That is a SWEEEET looking mother fucker! Hurry up and weld that bitch so we can see the finished work!!!!
Edit: is it just me or could we get a 2GNT Fab shop going with all you welders??

Looks nice, Mike.

Couple of things; first off, the equal length is not quite as sensitive with the forced induction.

Also, have you test fitted the bitch yet? I'm sure you worked on at least numbers, just wondering if you tried it on an actual car or just a mock up engine?

yep it was test fitted when mocking it up but not with the turbo bolted on because i hadnt welded on the flange to the collector yet. i angled it away from the block as u can tell so hopefully there wont be to many issues.


AMM

That's brilliant, Mike. Holy damn. :thumbsup

EDIT:
I should talk to you next time we're out at INO about a 3" downpipe and catback for the Galant. Mandrel bent, no need for stainless, I provide muffler. Maybe we can work something out and I put some AMM FAB decals on the car once its' back together.

sounds good........... we want to have the car that the manifold is going on done by then and there that night, hopefully it will happen.

The more I look at the picture the more if looks like the turbo is going to be right up agianst the Engine block or possibly not clear, Of course he has not welded it yet in the picture so theres no reason it couldnt be adjusted.

its fitted and ready to go. i fly cut the tubes where they weld to the head flange, cut the brace in the hood right above the tubes, cut the nipple on the block off and notched the front motor mount and it fits with stock rad and some slim line fans. the wastegate is still on where its at in the pics above but i rotated it downwards a bit. ill get some pics up in the next few days.


mike

ok here the pics i took with my camera phone all mocked up, now i just need to weld it. i notched the front motor mount and turned the waste gate flange a bit to have it face straight downward. anyways heres the phone pics...........


















mike

Wow there are some great projects on this board recently. Strong work there.

You know, transfer the wastegate to the other side, and that style looks like it would fit the 420a and clear the a/c & steering pulleys. I still dream of having the compressor on the passenger side...

thats the plan for the 420a mini ram im going to build. but my first mani for the 420a is actually going to be a top mount.

mike

its done!

finished!

well for being my first one i think it turned out ok, practice makes perfect though. anyways here it is along with a few other pics. what u guys think.............


i had to take pics of those ports before while it was off.............



the

motor mount mod..........



the hood mod...........



over all shot as it sits..........



this is the best weld on it IMO.............



overall manifold shots..........

wow that's dead sexy!

soooo what would you charge me to build a topmount t4 with a 60mm wastegate :)

probably a little more than this one cause its gonna take a bit more time. if ur serious PM with all the details.


mike

Nice work as usual, Mike.

why thank you sir!


mike

Mike,

Looks very nice and the craftsmanship is perfect.

I may be sending a 4g63t head off to you before long. I love your portwork!

Nice manifold as well.

From the first post, i was expecting a pulse style manifold like the kind you see on sr20's. Either way, it's still kickass.
