ajhehr Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 My first 13b turbo mani… howd I do?just wanted to show off a little...Ok… gt35r with the tial cast stainless turbin housing. Tial 44mmv bandPipe is all stainless sc10Coating is there new titanium by polydyn.Well how’d I do?Ive only been welding for a couple months but it is fully back gassed and I guaranteed good penetration. I was very careful to polish of the outlet transition of the flange to the runners as well as the WG runners. All ends were beveled about 75% of the way through and set dead flush on the next pipe. Pieces were then fused together fallowed by a filler pass of 309 (seemed to like the 309 better then the 308 filler rod on my practice pieces).I expect big things out of this…Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28Shot at 2008-06-28Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28Shot with SP510UZ at 2008-06-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 80s rotary engines = sex.GJ on the manifold. I would have been lazy and bought one. I might add another brace, but looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they hard to work on/expensive?there are riveted on now. i liked the look though...Thanks! they are easy to work on once you get rid of all the factory stuff.. expensive not more than anything else i guess. but I am tring to beat much better cars and drivers in the class that im in so my particular car is rather expensive to maintain...
