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

Im impressed. And even more impressed with how steady you are with an angle grinder.

Dig videos like this man. It shows your thought process, technical skill and ability, and the labor/passage of time. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful, Purposeful, Thought-out Design and Fabrication thanks for sharing.

[@mspecvq30det]

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. 👌

[@Garage4age]

Interesting, might give the wax trick a go. Thanks

[@alexhise968]

I use beeswax myself but same same. I will say that its a good idea to run a file over areas right before welding

[@bigbothoee8617]

That is amazing impressed with how you done it nice job

[@gedas3419]

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.

[@Garage4age]

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.

[@calinick86]

Hello, Im new to aluminum TIG welding. what cutting wheel are you using for the angle grinder and chop saw? Your creative ideas 💡 are amazing!!

[@Garage4age]

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

[@calinick86]

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.

[@Garage4age]

@@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.

[@Liveforeever]

[@quickcinema8031]

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.

[@UFOSorceryEngineering]

Wonderful or even Marvellous Job... A new Subscriber for sure.

[@inaNis_]

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

[@Garage4age]

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.

[@ApexRace]

great work! super video! very nice music whats the name of the "perfect" song?

[@Garage4age]

Music is from the youtube audio library. the track: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5ibk4Gad5dmgrs

Glad I stumbled onto this video. Did not know you could radius bend aluminum like that. 6061 or 3003?

[@Garage4age]

assume you mean the sheet? not 100% sure on the grade. but looks to be either 5005 or 5052. the place i brought from only sells those grades in sheet.

Hey mate where would be somewhere to hot about getting thick enough trumpets to weld like you did?

[@krusher74]

I'm glad you have the safety guard on your grinder, I'm sick of seeing youtubers with them missing.

[@Garage4age]

I always run the guard, not just for the safety aspect, but also being able to get hands closer to work, to guide grinder for a more accurate cut without cutting off your hands.

[@krusher74]

@@Garage4age yep exactly the same as me for the last 20 years, it also defects the sparks away from you. I dont know why so many youtubers dont have them fitted.

[@DHjunkey]

Top work dude, what’s the donut shape thing you cut up to use?

[@Garage4age]

Thanks. That's actually what they are called hah. That one in particular was a 5" Aeroflow donut

[@pepovr]

So the dual plenum design was no good? What size elbows did you use for the runners?

[@Garage4age]

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.

[@ЕгорКутузов-н3ф]

Super 👍👍👍👍

[@ducatione]

How did you prevent warping once you bored out the holes and welded . I find with do little material left I get bad warping

[@Garage4age]

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

[@ducatione]

@@Garage4age never thought about a thicker base plate only. Thank you!

[@jackbrimstone1004]

Heyy quick question do you wipe off with acetone before welding after brushing with the sanding belt or grinding wheel?

[@Garage4age]

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

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)

[@Garage4age]

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)

Your weld quality looks good thx for the advice

[@laszlovona]

What was that stainless torus?? I mean I know ☺.. a stainless torus, but what was its original functionality/purpose?edit.. i am dumb... it was aluminium torus but still.. My question is valid.

[@Garage4age]

They call them a donuts, no specific purpose. just used for cutting up and fabricating things. much tighter radius than a normal bend

[@laszlovona]

@@Garage4age thank you! And btw very nice results and a really enjoyable video! 👍

[@jonathondeeds3423]

Nice job but the first manifold you cut up would offer better air flow.

[@Garage4age]

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.

most of its 2mm. base is 3mm

[@jessemurphy1705]

What thickness sheet metal did use ? I'm guessing 1.6?

[@Garage4age]

2mm for the top. 3mm for the base plate, so less likely to warp when welding the runners in
