Well I was on a local forum and I found this and couldnt hep but to post it on here to get your guys input :tardrim:

RB20 Fabrication Work - SFLDrifters.com (http://www.sfldrifters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70565)

[schells86]

...really?

[shiftdrift]

uhhhhhhh......this didn't deserve it's own thread, sometimes you have to realize people are retarded and move on. this is my time to realize that.

[zac 3ne2nr]

<3 the collector and the 50:50 recirc.

[Magical Trevor]

I'd hate to see your idea of bad fabrication..... There is absolutely no VE engineering thought or design to that manifold what so ever.



... oh and the welds look like something Micheal J. Fox' cawk fabbed up.

[onehundredoctane]

dear baby jebus, that is horrid.

[DustinSixOh9]

The dude owns a business too. I don't understand how someone so clueless about everything he talks about can operate a shop.

But yeah dude, that manifold is rad! He apparently boost 2bar of pressure at idle while revving!!!! God I wish I could afford for him to make me a mani for my sr.

[codyace]

modification aside, why do people even bother with RB20

[shiftdrift]

my buddy makes mid 400whp on his stock block rb20.....

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

those collectors are a 500 year old, time proven design.



except most people collect water with it.




from roofs.

[JuMPiiN]

Is that monstrosity even efficient? Looks rad and crazy but does it even enhance performance ?

[codyace]

1 in 100 doesn't impress me

Just from looking at it, I can say this:

Absolutely not, and it's far from rad.

[shiftdrift]

1 smart guy, 99 ricers. kinda like rotards.

[Sileighty_85]

Holy Shit Balls that thing is huge!
Looks like a Fucking Jet Engine

How much did that fucking thing Cost?

I dont see how that thing will clear a hood, Its 6 inch taller than the Valve cover

[driftsilvias13]

uhhhhhhh......this didn't deserve it's own thread, sometimes you have to realize people are retarded and move on. This is my time to realize that.

this.........

[StryfeS13]

Everybody's such a hater. Who cares if it's not efficient, or if the welds aren't the best.

It's cool that the dude went ahead and made something himself. He's different, so what.

Looks to me like he just wanted to make some insane looking manifold. And it does indeed look insane.

[D.Adams]

Holly crap that thing is huge. I don't think it adds any performance to that set up at all. Got to love how the BOV is vented into the turbo ... and the welds are just fucking bird turds..

He also talks allot of shit in that thread. This guy runs his mouth way to much.



Glad zilvia isn't like that.

Sure, if it was some random person in their garage. But, that is a shop advertising their "skills".

[chinabean]

^______^ nice

[koji187]

The piping looks nice.. did you have to pull the engine to put them on?

[Kemps]

looks awful, sorry

[nissanfreak317]

just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

[satek]

I lol'd hard

[StryfeS13]

Oh. I retract my statement then. I figured it was just some dude having fun in his garage.

If that's a shop then... :wtf:

[sr20sean]

i guess some of those welds arent bad? but alot of it looks like it could be matched with flux core lol

im not sure if he understands the concept of equal length and exhaust pulses either...

shit's so fresh
hope it's limited run
ima cop me a steampunk turbo mani and rock it so hard

[StryfeS13]

^ LOL. I thought it was just some dude having fun in his garage making an insane looking manifold. I had no clue it was a "shop."

As I said I retract my statement! haha.

[Martino]

They say I lost my mind

[undesiredshoe]

He made 5000hp on 1 psi

[statickx991]

he just needs some tiger blood and another soldering iron

[180wanabe1]

terrible tig welds. honestly shouldn't have put hella nice welding in the thread title cause he is SO WRONG! that and he CLEARLY didn't back purge the manifold...tisk tisk tisk. someone needs to learn how to weld stainless.

[ericcastro]

i thought the whole twisty thing was because you want the air flow to have to take the same amount of travel??
Basically, the headers/manifold, should measure the same length no matter which cylinder it comes out of.

[S13 curtis]

honestly shouldn't have put hella nice welding in the thread title cause he is SO WRONG!

Sarcastic is the word.

[Slammed Assassin]

That THING is HELLA ugly and quite pointless. in my opinion.

[Prime]

Wow... just wow. I love on page 6, someone posts a... well, decent manifold. Dude flips his shit about how it violates everything he holds dear. I'm not a fabricator of any kind, but c'mon now...

[anton1o]

Its definetly not my cup of tea, and until he can put up some power graphs, i cant see that setup working at all.
Wouldnt run it on my car thats for sure, awesome work for somebody at home.. but for a workshop er....

BOV directly infront of the turbo, is already a dead give away of something not right, but if he hes put thought into this setup cant way to see it in action i guess..

[LoneStarSilvia]

I read that thread trying to justify his actions or credentials, then amongst all the e-thuggery, read this:


The setups I build are most known for their reliability. You talk about couplers, bad tuning, technology, ect...I'm all for simplicity.

OH REALLY? I HADN'T NOTICED!

[510-SR20DET]

before this thing hit full boost, other cars already crossed the finish line. lol

[tinys s14]

Wouldn't this manifold cause some lag?

[tricky_ab]

Well I'm sure once more car forums catch on to this, the thread will blow up and get out of control. I'm sure someone posted this on Jalopnik.

[K_style]

how are you plan to put exhaust ???
looks like there is about 1" between engine and your exhaust side of turbo...

[Sileighty_85]

anybody else notice the ghetto modded Stock Intake Manifold?

[WanganNastyMachine]

Dude is Bi-winning.

He wins here and he wins there.

;)

[S13 curtis]

Well he welded the runners togeather, I feel bad when that manifold cracks/explodes when it expands from the heat.

Hopefully nobody get hit with schrapnel.

anybody else notice the ghetto modded Stock Intake Manifold?

You can tell all of that welding was not done with pride and I hope nobody from here goes to that shop.

[shiftdrift]

did no one notice the ground clamp on the engine? if he was welding that on the engine it's gonna be fucked.

You lost me at hella.

[EsChassisLove]

I LOLed....hard

[DustinSixOh9]

The best part is this guy is 100% serious about this.
And all his "knowledge"

Don't forget kids, the longer the runners the quicker the spool and more power!

[Lees_Garage]

This is why I love Zilvia.

[Schassis707]

Uhhhh... good intensions?? I bet it looked a lot better in his vision.

This......

[DxZoo]

Lol this reminds me of matsuri this summer, some missle had what im pretty sure was the stock manifold bolted to a 2x4 hollow metal beam and the turbo was bolted on top of that like 8 inches above the engine. Car sounded like dick and looked like it made no torque

[Z32TT-R]

I wouldnt be surprised if that cracked having some of those runners welded together like that, and that collector looks like complete shit. I wouldnt pay for this garbage, there's obviously more wrong with it, but has already been stated. I cant believe he said twin scroll mani are basicly bad, wtf?? how much R&D in that shit compared to his garage mani, seriously? lmfao...

[atutt]

This actually makes me angry.....

[K_style]

I feel bad for this guy... who spent all the money, his "knowledge", time.... for ?????

[K_style]

Hey Sileighty_85 !

Would you get this manifold over XS-Power manifold ??? LOL

[Sileighty_85]

Hey Sileighty_85 !

hahahaha I would gladly pick a XS- Power Manifold over that monstrosity.


I wanna know how much that fucking thing weighs.

[Pure_JDM]

Pretty sure I could thread conduit together cleaner than that...

But those short runner manifolds will burn your valves...

[ManoNegra]

looking forward to the custom exhaust

[Dude4253]

I think this is my favorite part

Bearca: yeah right.
you see how short your runners are on your manifold....you are fucked

fc3sbmx (http://www.sfldrifters.com/forums/member.php?u=1091)
I know, I was originally planning on making a really long runner manifold, I'd heard the longer the better and I wanted the most torque. So I was planning on building a small trailer, which my turbo would be mounted to, and I would actually tow it behind my car. Each runner would be approximately 23 feet long, and my torque estimate was somewhere around 6900 ft/lbs at 4200rpm. Things didn't quite work out though, and my runners ended up only being about 4 inches long.
