I call dibs on the pretty black one.

I didn't send you a black one did I?? I thought it was still silver. anyways, as soon as i get off my arse when I have some free time i will ship out the bracket and fuel lines

I removed the seperations from the outside sections of one of the manifolds today. I had to do it all with the mill because we are still without an air compressor. It took forever. I really need to be doing a combination of cutting out pieces with an abrassive wheel and milling out the rest. The air compressor I want is on back order and apparantly is going to remain on back order for a few more weeks so I guess I'll buy one in town that I can settle for.

[jsvxstyle]

could you send back my pearl manifold, when done. for the black one it looks nice ill miss that one.

I found a compressor I could settle for yesterday and installed it today along with the outlet for the tig welder.

Here's Mike's manifold in the works (the black one).

In this picture I've removed the seperations of this side with an abrassive wheel and the mill.



In this one I've ground out and smoothed out the rest with a flap wheel and then chamfered the airpassages nicely with a die grinder.


This one is the other side in the same condition.

Michael,
What are you doing with all the "guts" that are attached to the bottom of the intakes (IRIS valve, etc.)? You're not just throwing them away, are you?

I stripped my manifold before sending it. I dunno about everyone else.

oops - I didn't think of that.

Mike the second set of fuel lines are in the mail along with the A/C tensioner bracket and pulley

UPS delivered our press brake today so I drove down to ft myers and picked up the shop press to put it in. Normally a press brake is it's own unit and either is operated by handles and can't bend very big metal or is operated by electronically controlled hydrallic rams and costs several tens of thousands of dollars. This one is very cool and goes inside of our 40,000 pound shop press letting us bend sheet metal up to 1/2 thick steel plate. Personally I think it's brilliant. This is what we will be using to bend the pieces of sheet for the manifolds when we're done cutting and grinding.


Here's the shop press.


And here's the press brake.

Haven't brought the camera with me the last couple of days but the tig welder came yesterday and I've finished cutting out the seperations with the abrassive wheel. I still have to take care of getting a tank of argon and getting the steel for the altermator brackets and a work bench but asside from that we now have all the equipment in place to finish the project.

Since we are set up to do everything now I expect things to roll along nicely and the only delay I can forsee is a short wait for a different length drive snout after we figure out what length we want for this new design. I can probably take advantage of that time to make the pullies on the lathe or mill the alternator brackets.

I finished the prep of the manifold sections today.

This picture is of the 4 I hadn't previously finished after I cut out and milled out the seperations.



This picture is of all five of this batch completely prepped, having been ground and chamfered.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Mike,

Have you determined what amount of boost you're going to go with? (Of course we know 'Freak is going with some UmptiUmp Gobs of boost ) but what about those of us who are going to use them as daily drivers?

I'm also running an underdrive pully, but may go back to stock as I'll have the S/C on her now.

Not nudging your elbow or anything. Just curious.
