guy's manifolds 24v v6 - split thread

[Guy88]

The passenger side will clear but it needs bending a bit cus it woll be on the starter. I am making some spacers for the drivers side

Guy,

So you are spacing the manifold off the head then, but using the same manifolds...?

What are you using, ally plate?

good idea, i will try to look tomorrow, how much are you spacing off the head?

cheers,

ps is your fuel system sorted now?

[Guy88]

I am using stainless steel box secton and welding a plate on both ends to make the flange. i think about 2-3 inches should be enough

As for the fuel system iv orderd a low pressure 120 l/min pump to feed a swirl pot (orderd) to feed an Orion EFI pump. for the return i will use the breather int eh tank and run a drill throuh the cap on the tank

[duncr]

is it a plastic tank you using?? if not, just cut the tank open weld in a circle of metal and use a Granada pump from the top of the tank

Guy, sounds good...

have you any photos of the manifolds.... i haven't got my angle grinder out, yet!

cheers

Got to get some cast rods for me welder first There expensive

[dipstick]

you can weld cast iron ?

[Guy88]

Yep

[dipstick]

.... wow, TIG or oxy ?

[duncr]

I use arc with the cast rods, aint perfect but it works, you can also use a mig if the settings are right

[MrMPuk]

Mig and Arc as well, just like welding steel.

[Guy88]

I arc everything exept stainless and ally.

I always prefer arc to weld structural bits. I happen to know that one of my welds was tested and held 25 tonns on an inch

[dipstick]

cool, i look forward to seeing the finished article ...

good luck, keep us posted....
