Title: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: turbob16hatch on September 27, 2009, 08:34:14 PM: Here is a rb25 manifold i just made for a guy with a 240sx. I think it cam out pretty good for the first 6 cyl. divided manifold i have made.

Post by: Corey on September 28, 2009, 12:29:08 AM: on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard would you rate this. i have to build one for an r34 within the next year
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: 90turboteg on September 28, 2009, 12:47:07 AM: i thought it was a t3 but the 6-1 collector fooled me, looked like that collector was a bitch to make. my buddy wants me to make a manifold for his rb20 corolla after winter, i think im going to have fun making the collector
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: turbob16hatch on September 28, 2009, 12:53:27 AM: I will say this is the hardest manifold i have made so far, just based on having to build it a certain way. or welding it is imposable.

Maybe a 6 out of 10. i would think a t3,t4,t6 open 6 cyl. manifold would be harder to build. I'm not looking forward to ever building a open 6-1 collector.

I also got caught off guard on a few runners warping. that i will have to watch closer on the next ones.

i noticed the shrinkage on that front runner pic. thats why i try to weld runners while the are taacked to the collector and head flange if possible.
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: turbob16hatch on September 28, 2009, 01:40:19 AM: Yeah i welded anywhere from 80-90% of the welds while it was together, i just have to change my approach more with these when welding off the jig. I will say this tuaght me alot obout how far runners move.... :-X

I will have a 2jzgte manifold up in the next few weeks.

so uhh how much?
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: turbob16hatch on September 29, 2009, 09:06:30 PM: Idk, it won't be cheap for me to make another. In the area of $1000+. it's a lot of work.
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: CSaddict on September 29, 2009, 09:11:08 PM: You are a cheap date. I have to do a 6 into 1 for a stroked Jeep motor in a Pacer. I told them just labor $1k plus. Up your rates!!!!
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: turbob16hatch on September 29, 2009, 09:14:57 PM: I know i need to, but i have a few things to work out along the lines of fit up that i need to work out before i charge more. IMO
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: dvst8r on September 29, 2009, 09:15:10 PM: $1000 is cheap for that, I charge half that for a miged steel splog. :P
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: turbob16hatch on September 29, 2009, 09:20:20 PM: yeah but people around here don't pay high prices..... :'(
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: Passenger on September 29, 2009, 09:37:35 PM: 1k is fucking cheap.
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: weirtech on September 29, 2009, 09:39:14 PM: no shit. i wouldn't do it for less than $1400 and my welds don't look half as good as your matt.

Post by: bigdaddyvtec on September 29, 2009, 10:10:41 PM: Mitch... BUY ONE For a G I would.... Or force Marcus into slve labor again... HAHAHAH

Very nice nig.

I turned flat black onto the thread as he has an IMMACULATE 98 I believe Kouki with a fully built RB..... Hes got a 6262, a gt3582r and a 3976 r laying around from which to choose to stuff on it but weants to keep AC...

Post by: turbob16hatch on September 29, 2009, 10:28:15 PM: this is where the turbo sits. Oh and don't hate on the pink car to bad, it's a drift car i guess. Oh and i made it to clear tubbed fenders.

im trying to compile some pics, i dont take any of my own work so i have to gather it from the people i build it for.

+1, if the buyer of that splog wouldn't have said "your not getting paid, unless you take some progress pics" I would have never taken any either.
Title: Re: Rb25 manifold i made recently.
Post by: Passenger on September 30, 2009, 02:20:17 PM: Yeah I never take any pictures either, all the pics I have are from friends or customers, the only reason I have a camera is because a friend gave me one so I could take pictures of my stuff, I kinda feel bad for never using it, but I don't take pictures of anything, including places I go and people I meet etc. If I can't remember it, couldn't have been that important.

It's a pretty big god damn hassle to clean your hands, put things in position, etc every 15 minutes to take a pic and I'm not about to ask someone to take pics of my stuff... so I understand completely.

Isn't that what the bitch is for? Well besides quelling your general 'man needs'.
