When i decide i will let you know, may be a while though so keep looking for someone to weld yours, any good welding shop should be able to do it.

what is this 300jiggawatt wall you lot spoke of earler??

[zebra]

Its the amount of flow the standard Exhaust manifold has.

most people have only ever been able to get around 300rwkw on the standard one. there have been a few that have made over that by around 30 or so kws.

Im trying to keep mine looking as standard as possible, the external isnt exactly stock looking but its not as obvious as a high mount either, im sure it will sell quickly though at that price.

[dori34]

^ if i was going high mount setup i would've bought the manifold already from nytsky when i picked up the ext gate off him... im in the same situation as you, wanna keep it low mounted & sorta stock looking

[DC Drift]

heres the one i made for my 25.. come onto boost straight away and hold a perfect flat 1bar!!!!

this manifold is now for sale.. making a new high mount.. pm me your offers (gate not included)

stickwelder with special electrodes will stand the test of time better the mig or tig because once the cast manifold gets hot then starts cooling the weld and cast iron will cool at different rates and will crack over time.

^if you stainless MIG or TIG it it will be fine becuse of the high nickel content.

that said i modded my mates manifold a month or so ago and used castcraft electrodes but you can do it with a tig easy

[smithers]

I weld cast often with low hydrogen electrodes or 309 stainless, solid mig wire is good also.

[rad100]

if anyone needs one of these i have one already made, got it welded my craig helps here in adelaide (cams welder)

pm me if your keen!

[turboedsloth]

the boilermakers at work have been welding cast alot lately and ive noticed they cool it down in lime. How do you guys cool the manifolds down after preheating and welding?

[STR8E180]

i cant be bothered reading all the reply's

but wat i recommend is

use A LOT of heat and let it cool down on its own over night

dipping it in water after u have heated it up that much isnt a good idea

[jdmser]

My welder tigged mine and said it welds more like cast steel than cast iron. He said he didn't even need to heat it up that much and let it cool down on it's own.

[Spiritz_R]

Hi guys,

There seem to be a few qualified and apprentice boiler makers and such floating around in here so i figure someone would know someone who can cut a hole into my stock manifold and weld on a bit of steam pipe properly so it won't crack up once it see's the track.

I have ongoing boost control issues with the internal gate 3071 and just can't be stuffed (and cant really afford) to redo all the piping again as well as shell out for a decent steam pipe manifold and gate.

cheers
