Nice now I know who to hit up if I need another twin scroll collector

It was alot easier than building a 4 to 1 collector. I even went gangster on it and cut the angles by hand cause my chop saw broke.

Shit my first attempt at cutting it by hand was a bit lop sided

This is flawless.

Plan on doing any dirty deeds or strictly tarmac?

carkrazed · « **Reply #32 on:** March 21, 2013, 11:44:40 PM »

Probably just gonna pound the pavement

NoPistons! · « **Reply #33 on:** March 22, 2013, 10:43:48 PM »

It would probably last alot longer that way in terms of motorsport. Every time i've been offroading in a vehicle i've about totaled something and i'm talking monthly but for some reason need that scary shit in my life. Then when i get up on tarmac things are way more predictable because of the grip.

Not trying to dickride or anything. Build is fucking cool. I'd drive the shit out of that.

Slowly but surely.

I need to take some vacation days so I can make some headway on this fucker. Its hard to get shit done while working 70+ hours a week.

DO WORK!

Can anyone confirm that this is the fitting I need to mount dual regulators/flowmeters on one argon bottle? Need it for backpurging this manifold.

Yeah, take some vacation days. Building cars>daily grind.

Thats why I want to mount two flowmeters, so I get correct flow to the torch and to the backpurge.

This T attaches to the bottle and regulators attach to each side. Know what I mean?

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #40 on:** March 28, 2013, 10:06:44 AM »

I would think with a T fitting at the bottle with 2 regulators would be perfect...... well, as perfect as one bottle can be.

At this rate, the car should be done by the time I'm ready to retire. Taking a car vacation in a couple weeks but I think I'm gonna fix my 850R so I can bring it down to the BeastCoast meet

that looks good

Thanks homie. I probably would have got it done but I ran out of shit. Gotta order a couple more bends and some straight pipe.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #44 on:** May 02, 2013, 01:58:10 PM »

DO WORK!

I got my crx done last year with almost no times while working full time and working a few side projects!

carkrazed · « **Reply #45 on:** June 23, 2013, 11:07:39 AM »

Manifold is pretty much done. Beast Coast meet has motivated me to actually get some shit done on this.

Opinions on this manifold

It bolts to the stock lower manifold.

Dude says the plenum volume is greater than 2 liters. Wants 150 for it.

turbohf · « **Reply #48 on:** June 24, 2013, 11:42:43 PM »

id say go for it. thats a lot of volume.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #49 on:** June 25, 2013, 12:00:20 AM »

Long ass runners. Or maybe its just the angle of the photo. I'd rock it. What's the stock one look like?

carkrazed · « **Reply #50 on:** June 25, 2013, 08:26:32 AM »

Stock gt manifold

gtx manifold that i'm running right now.

I think that plenum on a cut bottom like this would killer matched with a 75mm TB.

This bottom has butterflies in it like a gsr manifold and once they are cut out, it looks like this. I like how you essentially have 1 runner that shrinks to half its size by the time it reaches the head port.

Just sent dude a pm, gonna check it out.

Ntrain2k · « **Reply #51 on:** June 25, 2013, 10:49:41 AM »

I think those runners opened up and tapered where they meet that plenum with it ported to match would be badass.

Ya, then taper the inlet on the plenum kind of like a velocity stack.

I think I could also shorten the runners up by half pretty easily.

Looks way better then what you have. At the same time, you got some badass fab skills why not just make a custom one!?

I got so much fab work to do on this thing. I gotta pick and choose my battles or its never gonna get done.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #55 on:** June 25, 2013, 06:11:51 PM »

I wouldn't shorten the runners. Should do well as is

Ya, they look longer in the pic than they actually are anyways. I just paypal'd dude so i'll see what I can do with it.

Haha, ya, I can, but if this setup will give me the results I want, why build one?

The question becomes why not build one?
