Fabrication Pictures

cageyvet · 06-10-2013, 04:56 PM

Just wanted to start a thread here to see if there's any other guys on this forum that do some fabrication. Please post pics of some of your work and what type of machine you use. I use a Eastwood tig 200

New Ramhorn Manifold I'm going to put on my Mazdaspeed 3

Another MS3 turbo manifold

Header I'm running on my MS3 right now

Maybe if you play nice he could have something for us in the future.

OP, Great work!

I've been dragging my feet on putting something together for this car...

cageyvet · 06-10-2013, 06:31 PM

But I'm really curious to see some work from others on here bc I'm sure there's plenty of people with the means and know how to fab on here.

Not mine, but this should interest you. There is another thread where a guy had a shop build a one off kit for his car.

This comment is pathetic. Clearly excellent work, and you're only capable of writing stupidity.

This is where you're mistaken, there's not many here capable of fabricating a decent story, let alone having ANY actual ability to do useful work.

If it doesn't bolt on with simple instructions, or plug in? No chance.

Nice work BTW.

Slow_335i · 06-10-2013, 07:22 PM

You're missing two cylinders on that manifold!

135Pats · 06-10-2013, 07:43 PM

There are some single turbo build journals around the various forums, no extensive custom fab work needs to happen before youre shooting for huge whp.

SharkBait · 06-10-2013, 07:47 PM

Nice work. I for one would like to see more fabrication like this on the forum. But as stated, you are missing two cylinders! I'll be doing similar for a budget turbo conversion M20 but it's a 2 into 1 header so not quite the same level of complexity!

V8bait · 06-10-2013, 08:07 PM

I'd post something crazy awesome but I'd probably be ridiculed into oblivion since I used a mig welder and the welds weren't up to most of the members here's standards.

It's a tough crowd here. Nice work op.

Don't feel bad the 1st manifold I made was mig welded a lot of the tig welded stuff puts form over function...ie. fusion welding on manifolds

cageyvet · 06-10-2013, 09:10 PM

Those are some cool builds...keep posting em and thanks for the props on the work!

135Hoser · 06-10-2013, 10:37 PM

Lol, I first looked at the pictures my thought process was
'no way that's going to fit in the engine bay'
'wait, it's missing 2 cylinders'
'I bet this isn't for a bmw'
'nope, sure isn't'

Still looks good OP, props on some nice welds!
