custom turbo merge collector fabrication. welded merge collector. collector cutting jig

NEW VERSION from 321 Stainless • What is 321 stainless?...
Fabricating my very first custom turbo merge collector. this is a trial version and testing collector cutting jig and my very first welded merge collector practice. the final version will be fitted to my race Renault Clio 172 with Garrett g25-550 turbo.
schedule 10 pipes cut at 11.5deg. this is a trial version of my DIY merge collector. the real thing will use 1-1/4 inch pipe instead. custom manifold fabrication is an art form. practice makes perfect and is the only way to get good at exhaust fabrication and custom manifolds. this is part 1 of my series of videos about making a tubular manifold for my Renault Clio 172 turbo.
Here is the link to Part 1 and 2 of the custom manifold fabrication built using this collector • building your own turb...

here is a collection of videos i found very very useful while building my manifold.

Well done, the straight TIG torch is the answer to the question I could not sort out.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

yeah very usefull!

[@air_cooled_andy]

That jig is genius, I have the same bandsaw so I’ll be making one. Excellent work 🤩🙌

[@RuskiWeldFab]

very simple but effective!

[@damienmikkelsen6056]

Nice clamp. Simple and effective

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Yes, thanks

[@user-ln5ls2vh2h]

Интересная приспособа для запиливания крестовины, я обычно парами угол запиливаю, поштучно запарно получалось. Но твое видео показало что можно и поштучно симетрично завоять, мой респект !!!

[@addimetal3723]

Best video that I have seen so far, definitely will be using this method.

What bandsaw blades do you us? Mine go blunt really quickly when cutting sch10 stainless

[@mcqcjc8409]

I made attempt to make merge from stainless. Made a template using a square section to hold pipe inside with shims and nuts welded outside to hold it with two bolts - everything welded to steel sheet and placed on mitre saw i made a straight line using angle section and divided the circumference by 4 to mark another line so the cuts would be at 45 deg. Square section has a notch at the end to see through when u spin the pipe to get 45 degree cut. Used stainless steel carbide tipped 255mm blade and the blade still wouldnt go straight over pipe radius as i wanted although it is weldable. 150mm would do the job way better with enough space to make merge Looks like band saw is the way to go and i guess not so noisy

[@johnbroadbent9034]

hi I have the same lathe badged up as some other ,are you aware it has a carrage lock screw

[@alvarosilva5051]

Hi buddy where you buy the black tool to cut the pipe in the angle

hi. i made it.

Hi, really nice..I am trying to make my merge collector but for 5 cylinder...I have 15degree jig but that tube stays up. I am thinking about angle...72 or 108, but i dont know how much stick the jig out to saw ...can you hel me? Thanks

[@ilikemyboost]

@@RuskiWeldFab i am trying with plastic a few days, but still not good :/

[@joelfrancisco3798]

@@ilikemyboost I was practicing angles on PVC for my AAN last night at work and 72 is perfect. I need to create a jig as seen in this glorious video and then I'll start with mild steel, then stainless steel when I'm ready!

[@ilikemyboost]

@@joelfrancisco3798I am using PVC too...i already make some from PVC. My friend printed me 3D plastic model of that cutted pipe so it works but now with mild steel i have problem, that i cant get the right shape as a printed 3D model. Do you have Facebook? We can share some informations as both have Audi CQ :D

[@RuskiWeldFab]

it really is all about trial and error. try around 4cm

[@glaubermonteiro5150]

What angle of cut is the plate? have some feedback to help me.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

13.5

[@serviciosindustrialesjl862]

Good morning I am a faithful follower of your account. I would like to know what is the cutting angle that you give to make a 4 to 1 collector, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

thank you!! its 13deg cuts

[@eduardomarchezinfernandes6170]

Por favor... com quantos graus você corta o tubo?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

thank you!

[@junioriii3798]

What size is the angle iron you use?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Junior III no idea, need to measure it. Was just something I had laying around. Think it’s about 50-60mm by 20mm

[@junioriii3798]

What the length of the pipe before you cut it in the band saw?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Junior III can’t remember exactly but 14-15cm

[@junioriii3798]

Thank you for answering my question?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Junior III hey anytime!

[@jasperpaaskynen3393]

2.5mm thiknes? And how long that pipe piece is?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

3.2mm its shedule 10 pipe. think they were 170-180mm to begin with than trimmed down

[@eduardomarchezinfernandes6170]

please, can anyone tell me what is the angle of the pipe cut, because I couldn't understand the translation ...

[@RuskiWeldFab]

The jig has been set for 11.5deg. But it can vary depending on diameter of the pipe.

[@TalmidMichael]

How did you find that angle? Can you show how to find the angles needed, whether it’s a formula or a mach-up

[@edygonzalez7809]

What tool are you using to cut it

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Metal Bench saw

@@RuskiWeldFab я разобрался в чем проблема была. Устройство прижимное было не достаточно сильное, и деталь немного проворачивало.

back purge though......

hey thanks for your comment. this was only a test piece. the real thing was fully back purged as well as the manifold. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoHOkIukpbyFjNU

[@yakswelding86]

Nice man. I like the jig you made for cutting the collector. Cheap and effective.

[@kacejot]

А почему именно 11.5?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Оптимально

[@kacejot]

@@RuskiWeldFab, просто такое число с точностью до десятых. Как-то считали? Если да, то как.

[@kf8575]

Why weld it with pulse? Nowhere near thick enough to need it!

[@kcdakrt]

probably for filler timing practice

[@RuskiWeldFab]

thats exactly what it was. just a bit of practice.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

simply practice. new machine as well. the rest was done in normal

[@chrisjewson2456]

do you find you don't cook your stainless as much on the pulse setting? also what was your machine settings at during the vid?
