Please brace that manifold.

Any sugestions on how to brace it properly.I need some advice badly.

i would make good friends with a local tig welder...plan on that manifold cracking within a couple months. Seems like everyone on honda-tech that used one of those had it crack.

But as for bracing- i would have some pieces of steel welded from the lower flange to the head flange, then if at all possible make a bracket from the turbo to the stock exhaust manifold mounting bracket near the bottom of the block

good luck dude

ok im a n00b in the turbo application, but why do you need to brace the manifold? and why would it crack?

the meng/obx manifolds are notorious for cracking... possible reasons are use of cheap materials, poor construction, crappy quality control, etc... there is a reason those ss tubular manifolds are so cheap

oh ok

 

[colorpros]

Almost done...More pics comming soon.

 

[posol]

that, and the weight of the turbo puts a lot of stress on the mounting bolts

Update....

 

[Sprocker]

Looks beautiful, good luck on the rest of the project!

 

[SpyOneUSN]

so how much did all that set you back? do you think i could trade in some marlboro miles for a set up like that?
