Excuse the possibility of this being a dumb question but I am not a mechanic or engineer will alot of the work you have done on the 4age Cross over to a redtop beams 3sge... I am wanting to put a plus T 3sge into my 87 Celica GtFour
Nice work and good skills. Just a tip - when I work with aluminium I use candle wax on my cutting discs and linisher belts etc, really helps with cutting speed and reduced heat buildup. Also, I loved your work on inlet runner length testing - very very good knowledge to gain. 👌
That's really cool! I need to make a custom inlet manifold for my twincharger, as I'm still running a 4agze inlet manifold with a 4age TB bolted to it.
Liked subbed. Excellent work. Don’t take too much angle out of t body flange. You would rather point at the roof than the runners. ex. Holley hi-ram for LS.
i was waiting for the air filter mount then the last 4 seconds showed it hahahahaha btw nice fabricating. whats the song you used for this video?? all of it including the intro 🤘🤘
Really beutiful work of art. It looks way better, than those made out of flat sheets. Also, what about equal flow type of stuff? That short radius turn in the enter of manifold looks like lack of air for first cylinder. Ever consider building equal flow manifold v2. 0? Cheers, stay strong.
So far tuning wise the engine is no more susceptible to knock. which suggests this one is at least as good as the dual setup. but have no way to measure individual cylinders at this point. I went away from the dual for a few reasons, that particular one because of the way it was packaged and space between the bellmouth and roof of plenum. They need a lot of testing and science to get them to work right. one in vid is all about big airflow and correct runner length, wanted to keep alot of free area around the bellmouth. will try wind more power into it after intercooler upgrade. Plus will try it on my na setup which runs the same throttles, its very picky about intake changes so will be interesting test.
Did the Audi style dual plenum intake end up getting the turbo to spool up a few hundred rpm sooner? Or perhaps have lower IATs? That’s usually what I’ve heard from the limited cases of dual plenum intakes being used, so I’m curious whether yours really did anything or not
Can't say i noticed anything like that. it wasn't the best example though, as was a little compromised due to the space i had. the one in this vid beats it everywhere.
Exactly, not a wall of shame, but a wall of progression, you have figured out what doesn't be quite suit your desired outcome. One day it'll be the "hall" of progress. Most of us haven't even got a shelf,,, lol
just a standard abrasive wheel. not ideal cut with, and best to file or clean up the containments some other way before welding. you can get aluminum specific ones
Nice, again I’m impressed with your talent. I have never even seen one of those aluminum Donuts. That gave me some ideas but I need to look into it more. While you were forming, you had a “come” or “big bullet” pointed metal piece that was mounted on the vice. Why was that? It looks perfect for automotive fabrication.
@@calinick86 I think its a shaft from some kinda of industrial milk processing machine. my father got it from his work many years ago. Is quite useful at times.
Hi its at 15 year old chinese mitech welder, 160amp. I dont rate it at all, quality isnt that good and not enough power. would like to upgrade but dont have the money right now. I would suggest buying something at least 200amp if wanting to do ali welding (ac/dc tig)
would have worked better if the bell mouths went so close to the roof of plenum. they are 2.25" as it runs the same 52mm throttle setup as my na engine.
Hey. yeah usually, I also try to keep belts and grinding wheels separate for ali use. I haven't done a whole lot of aluminum welding, so am still learning. my machine is a bit weak also
@@Garage4age ohh cuz in the video the welds flow so smooth i assumed youve been doing this fir some time much like myself on the novice side i mean but great vid none the less keep em coming. 👍
@@sebfullick5011 MS has a bit of a following here, I've done a few years ago. The majority run link ecu's since local company and good product. I'm in new zealand btw
You need outer thermal insulator so the intake air is not getting heated, thats why modern car intake is durable plastic. But steel is stronger to handle more boost.
I made the base plate a bit thicker than the rest. 3mm vs 2mm and didn't weld it all at once. it still warped a little bit between the runners where wasn't much material
This one makes more power everywhere. a lot has to do with the runner length. but also more area around bellmouths and air doesn't have to change direction as much.
Are these number numbers and logic correct? (max power = 200-300mm runner length , better low end grunt 300-400mm) measuring from the valve seat www.custom-car.us/Intake/IntakeManifold what are the length/id sizes (if its possible to remember and want to share of course)
