small update


Because i,v been thinking of building my own exhaust manifold ,i finaly bought some stainless pipe and curves.Buying ,yach ,,,because i just could not find the right sizes in the scrap container :-(



I realy like the view of straight 1st runners! so that was my plan!

First made some flanges out of thick stainless plate (scrap ),used a simple grinder



I could,nt find the right drill at work,so i had to do it at home..no problem



Than fit




NICE ,me like :roll:

Spent a nightshift on making Y collectors
Van 34MM naar 40MM
And Y 40MM to 50MM ish

Because i did not use backing gas inside,you end up with bubbles inside of the weld,so i had to grind them down to smooth edges







At home i took the hood and " std" exhaust of,



And then just start..





Its a pitty ,i just could not get the runners of 4 and 1 ,2and 3 together with that straight pipes on,so i had to start all over again


As you can see,I am not a welder,not all welds look nice ,but rather learn by mistake,than paying someone else to do it.

Now runner 2 is under construction....more next ime

Little more on the header,the mock-up is almost ready .Almost reached the mid section.
I machined 2 sleeves to make a slip-on system to mount it on the car easy















Then i was time to clean the EB1 head .
Some fire wood bits and pieces to make a simple jig to dismantle the spring caps of the valve




I bought a big box of parts,in there was a bag containing 12 valves,the onely thing is that they dont fit,to small.
Bags OEM number said it would fit .....











Took my cilinder head to work to wet-blast is.
It makes it so clean!!!

















Mad a welding jig ,so hopefully the header will distored less after welding.
