DIY turbo manifold fabrication. Custom tubular manifold from scratch. Welding and fitting. 2

[@dougleturbo1]

Great video? How do you make sure the welds inside the exhaust are smooth?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Hey thanks for the comment! To achive smooth welds on the inside i use back purging. running flow of argon gas on the inside.

[@dougleturbo1]

@@RuskiWeldFab I thought so, but wasn't sure. Looking forward to seeing the ceramic coating on it!

[@RuskiWeldFab]

​@@dougleturbo1 Me too! will look crazy good i think!

[@andrejsandersons3791]

привет,мне бы сворил бы тоже ,толка нa 1.8 20 v turbo ,я как бы сам могу но тиг не имею,а миг для етого не катит

[@Calツ]

Reads title... DIY... Expects some half assed hill billy welding job... Ends up inspired by the work of art you constructed.... Keep up the good work m8!

[@RuskiWeldFab]

wow thanks for the kind words! i did work out better than expected haha.

[@diytutorialsandmore9804]

Pretty decent welds but you need a 12 or even bigger furick cup they work a charm and don’t do more than 7 dips at a time and let that section cool down weld a different part of the pipe and have about 4.5 seconds of post flow

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thank you!! That’s a decent advice

[@diytutorialsandmore9804]

But ohnestly I praise your good fitment and lack of gaps that’s the most important thing

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thank you! Yes prep is everything!

[@baybladekidd6454]

man i hope i can make a manifold because is sure cant find one for my 04 3.8 buick

[@RuskiWeldFab]

you can do it!

[@jason-things_to_do]

Nice work. I'm about the start my own header for a Toyota, first time.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

You can do it!

[@Fosgen]

Looks like a monster from my deepest nightmares. Good job.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks!

[@hcracer1985]

Hahaha. The bloopers at the end!!!

[@RuskiWeldFab]

ha ha

[@timorathgeber1693]

Really well made turbo and video. Best are the out-takes 😁

[@RuskiWeldFab]

thank you Buddy! appreciate that

[@connorgreen1913]

Your purge setup is backwards, purge from the lowest point as air will sit on top of argon, so you want the tape on the highest point to allow the air to escape

[@RuskiWeldFab]

good to know! cheers

[@farnhamclose11]

Just found your channel. You have a new subscriber. Great work.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Welcome!

[@sebek1352]

Pretty nice vid and whole project, but i think that your welds are a little overheated

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks! Would not be surprised! It was my first real experience with Tig stainless. Still holding tho

[@sebek1352]

@@RuskiWeldFab no problem bro, last time I got my first ss big project, it wasn't perfect in every inch of weld but anyway looks so cool, unfortunately I burnt my welder haha

[@junioriii3798]

How much argon are you running thru manifold weld you welding?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Junior III hey thanks for the comment. Honestly not sure exactly but fill it up at 10-12cf for 1-2min than put on minimum around 4-5 while welding.

[@4x4fabshop]

Good work man. 👍👍👍

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Cheers

[@AndreVargascupim]

i want make a turbo on my clio 1.6 16v

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Why not!

[@panick.attack]

Inspirational video! Makes me want to take up TIG welding and make my own. Is back purging necessary?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Go for it!

[@arom4140]

What material are those pipes made of?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Schedule 10 stainless.

[@scopeperformance1286]

hey mate , what amps are you running when welding this . im currently welding 1 1/4 sch10 . just over 3mm wall from memory and cant seem to penetrate through to the other side

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Honestly i am not the authority on this as this was my very first mani. but i believe it was around 110amps peaks. but using pedal so anywhere between 80 and 110 i guess.

[@LikeZO]

V grooving the ends of the pipe can help with that. That way you can get away with less heat and still have fill penetration.

[@boogiedageneral]

What kind of pad and disc you are using at the end to polish the manifold

[@RuskiWeldFab]

its just a scotch brite attachment for the drill. nothing fancy.

[@Carlsson27]

Заебись! Сколько трубы и отводов ушло ? берешь только 90" отводы и кусок прямой трубы? какой толщины стенка,4мм?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Уже не помню, 14-15 отводов и 2метра трубы по-моему. Стенка 2.77мм

[@R0yL33]

what diameter pipe ? Looks quite large , 2"

[@RuskiWeldFab]

No its Schedule 10S 304 Stainless Steel - 1-1/2"

[@Ryan-hf9qz]

I was going to comment on the size of the runners in terms of air velocity and turbo lag but you beat me to it, they do look large

[@ВладимирТышкевич-ф3о]

Я единственно не понимаю, накуя эту шляпу ты варил, почему не взял готовое решение с Меган РС, там мотор такой же!!

Где он там такой же?
