My Custom pie-cuts Turbo Exhaust Manifold Volvo T5

[@HRLestrange]

wow just WOW that manifold looks gorgeous, amazing work my friend 👍❤

[@amyasseektruth8246]

This video deserves millions of views - work of art!!! I'd love to do this myself - Respect on the workmanship

[@Ring112NU]

Verum Quaerere Seek Truth Thank you, i'm glad you like it. I appreciate it ;)

[@amyasseektruth8246]

Ring112NU It's a pleasure. Sounds to me you don't give yourself much credit. Majority of people I know would cut off their balls using a spoon to be able to do this. Including me.

[@jefferybreisch8914]

Your work is beautiful! Sculpture realized into a functional form. I would love to see more work.

[@aaroncake]

We know now, if the world has an argon shortage, what caused it! ;-)

[@Ring112NU]

+aaroncake My favorite comment so far. But shussss... Don't tell my boss, cuz he pays for all the gas....

[@tendervittlebit]

+aaroncake I love your video series on the Cosmo build. I've watched many episodes multiple times. Given that, you have a very... unique welding technique sometimes, and this made me lol.

[@aaroncake]

Ryan Baker Happy to be entertaining! Yes, one sometimes must invent their own technique when one tries to tackle jobs their equipment isn't really designed for...like welding alu 1/2" plate with a 150A TIG.

[@tendervittlebit]

I've been waiting patiently for the next installment. Hopefully more blinding LED tail lights.

[@3kyr154]

thx heaps man

[@krisbello7365]

Thats a lot of welding.. Came out amazing. Great job

[@CoolStuffGuysLike]

Wow that looks incredible. I can't imagine how many hours he must have into that.

[@Grilloale93]

A piece of art... congratulations !

[@brain288]

That is beautiful!!!! Great job crafting that!!!! I would love to have one for my R

[@Skeetmgeett]

That's some damn impressive work. Well played

[@kvn2266]

A true artist!

[@amscout1156]

That is very nice work. I want to be able to do this type of welding with my everlast welder some day.

[@tptrsn]

Simply an amazing amount of beautiful work! Any idea how many hours you had into all of the cutting, fitting, and welding? I'm curious why you chose to piecut the whole thing? I don't think it's Ti(?), so I guess it must be just to show you could do it/make every bend exactly the way you wanted it to be. Really unbelievable!

[@vasek987]

Maybe he wan't able to get tube bends in needed radius... We will most likely end up with this solution as well in MR2 SW30 2ZZ swap

[@B18bVtec]

Damnnnnnnn pie cuts for days!

art in exhaust manifold

[@rattedbug5003]

Thing of beauty

[@M3rVsT4H]

Very nice.

[@kurtdobson]

If the prize is for the most welds, you win. It definitely looks very 'artsy'. You should know that at most only 3 sections of tubing, each with a bend of arc angle x, and straight section length l, are required to get from point on a collector to a point on the exhaust manifold. The art is generally in finding 5 sets of (x and l) solutions that result in equal length primaries, fitment in chassis, where primaries don't collide with each other, etc. There's software out there that does this automatically. I design headers for F1 and Nascar... they would never race anything with this many welds, not reliable.

[@nevillemaycry3]

Bloody gorgeous.

[@atanngaraj5633]

everything is really worth for T5 engine, especially Polestar

[@user-qj2mv8yw5f]

You best men!

[@andrewwilson8317]

That is a shit load of work but oh so worth it,too nice to be hidden away in an engine bay! Clear plexiglass front panels to enjoy the view!

[@wog008]

very nice ! and wow ... you know you can buy 90s and 45 ded shed 40 bends ..

[@antoniocamposgiusti7068]

great job

[@fifispdc]

good job!!!

[@5eansale]

that is truly some amazing craftsmanship! bravo! are those all equal length runners? that is some truly skilful work on the collector!

[@nitrofull63]

Awesome ! 💪💪❤️❤️

[@arronclarke4351]

awesome! Shamazing

[@sweeperstang]

Hey brownie, can you explain what the 6* block was for? I'm guessing that's how you get consistent cuts? I'm trying to learn this also. I've read a lot of people use 4.5* and 9*. I get the angle part, but is the block the key to repeatability? Awesome job, hope to hear your reply.

[@B18tegg]

Looks great man! I did pie cuts for my downpipe using a portable bandsaw. How did you cut your pieces? I'm interested in finding a better way to cut it for my next project.

[@charliekuzdro1]

wow.... perfection this is seriously the nicest volvo manifold on the internet intake is also amazing. Questions: Did you buy the plenum piece pre bent from yoshi fab? what settings did you use on the pie pieces? whats happening with the engine post a video!

[@ChantzFabz]

Damn man brilliant

[@seangeeb]

seems so tough like almost impossible to get the back of those final welds lol

[@hinata32725]

beautiful!

[@makirompe]

Awesome job, man. I'm absolutely stoked by your craftmanship. Please, let me ask you a couple of questions. Wich cup/gas lens setup you use? And, how do your avoid warpage when finish welding? The only way I could think of is using the flanges with as a fixture, and brake the tacks to the flanges once finished welding each one of the five tubes, and then permantently weld the tubes to the flanges. But honestly I have no clue if it would work or not. Keep it up, man.

[@Ring112NU]

supermotardmario Yepp, notis quickly that welding on the outside first really make a big difference when it comes to warping. And I'm using a 25mm steel sink for the flange with bored hols for the purging lines for each cylinder piping.

[@carlbenz3341]

did you weld the small sections without filler wire?

[@brandonspence2189]

+Carl Benz i'd like to know this as well, is almost appears as if he didn't.

[@gorillaxrich]

@carlbenz Nah... He definitely had to disassemble that to weld, with filler... You can only fuse weld thin stuff...

[@narutosfoxdemon]

Just a general inquiry but what would a masterpiece like this cost to build?

[@crtinkering7323]

aaron cake is awesome!

[@syncore33]

Great job. how did you weld the inside of the middle runner (cyl 3) at the collectors? i noticed the last few pictures it was still unwelded

[@Ring112NU]

Yhe, i brought the manifold to a welding supply company just next doors, and ask if i could borrow there Micro Torch, with a lot of stick out -(www.ckworldwide.com/micro-torch.html) and wrap the area with aluminiumfolie to keep all the argon in place. Worked good, but tricky to see properly.

[@syncore33]

+Brownie thanks for sharing. handy to know

[@animalryan6716]

Nice job... inspirational. One question tho. Is the weilds not going to restrict airflow?

[@emersonc6443]

This is a lot like what I designed in fusion

[@Toys4Life]

how many hours... oh my.

[@hellroysdelight2472]

truly stunning, well done. Can i ask how you cut the pie sections

[@vasek987]

Just a saw and „dye“ with wanted angle. It's one of the pictures in video

[@666MadDog]

can you make a video about your Jig for the cutaways? it is a pretty awesome tool ! 20° angle?

[@IasonasgolF]

Hello from Greece. Congratulations for the great job. I would like to ask you how thin is the pipe you used cause I am thinking to build my own manifold for my b234f Volvo engine and I have yours as a plan how to do it. So I need 2mm or 3mm pipe? Thanks in advance Jason...

[@alanmajor125]

Hi there amazing work! just wondering for the runner butt joins what tig settings are you using to get such great results?

[@heavoc9793]

Hello Brownie ! Congratulations it's an amazing work ! Could you make one for a 2004 S60R ?I could be interested :)

[@micheldias7223]

Top 👏👏👏

[@belloautomotive1522]

Fusion welded the pie cuts, how are they holding up?

[@hi_is_this_clorox_bleach]

my thoughts exactly

[@zero_to_1000]

sick

[@carlstell]

Great job. What is the size pie cuts? How did you cut them?

[@bigbothoee8617]

How long did it take looks nuts some tight bends

[@powersstuntworx9323]

Question, please. What size are your primaries? 1 1/2 or 1 5/8 OD? I hope this finds its way to you.

[@javiervegaprada7172]

how i can do a collector 5-1?? for a focus rs , is the same engine that volvo, i dont know the angle of cut the tube.

[@bhearts77]

lord have mercy

[@HandMadeWrath]

Is this still available? Can i mount the thrbo on the passanger side???

[@dphothisane]

how do weld the last runner into the collector?

[@TheJamm93]

Very cool but how long did it take to weld it all up?

[@juanpena9434]

How much for for something like this and with a downpipe ?

[@jacksonoutdooradventures515]

that's looks amazing !! the only thought I have (and it is not a negative thought at all I will never be this skilled ) with all the bends supplied these days why input so much time and welding (once again I am genuinely asking and not negatively commenting on your video ) into a piece albeit you did it just because it looks so brilliant ??

[@Ring112NU]

Yhe, i like the pie-cut look, but formust, i just rly like welding :)

[@jacksonoutdooradventures515]

fair enough man you are very skilled and the finished result looks incredible

[@epod77]

WHATS THE THICKNESS OF THE WALL OF PIPE THANKS

[@FastSloW-qt8xf]

Yeah my little 40 tank can't touch this... could use it just for purging though..

[@onlyreallifematters]

Helt rått!

[@cfworks1307]

Hi there, Absolutely the best thing I have seen so far today! I am just curios how you get into the VERY TIGHT corners on your 4 into 1 Turbo manifold with your TIG torch? Can you please explain or link to a video? I had to build a Spar Frame for a hobby plane, and I struggled a LOT to get into tight Fish mouth/coped joints *cry* :-( Thanks in advance!

[@nicovanduin1553]

After tacking the runners to the flange/collector he probbably breaks off every runner and fully welds it up.

[@TheoTHERON_SA]

@@nicovanduin1553 Thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with all the terms , so am not sure what a runner is. do you perhaps have a link to such a video or web page? thanks

[@nicovanduin1553]

@@TheoTHERON_SA It's not that complicated, the flange is the flat piece of metal that bolts to the engine. A runner is one of the 5 tubes, which all come together at the collector. (the piece he made at the begining of the video. Hope this clears things up al little

[@TheoTHERON_SA]

@@nicovanduin1553 Ah I see now! ThNks again. What gets me is jow the guys get right in there in thw 'inside corners' where the runners all meet up. the only thing I can think of is a fusion weld from the insides...

[@3kyr154]

@brownie wot type of saw did u use for ur pie cuts.... looks crazy man good work

[@Ring112NU]

+Michael Giancarlini A band saw similar to this one: www.advancemachinery.com/HYD-DMseries.php

[@T5RKID]

Would you ever sell on like this?

[@muckman5509]

Was this fusion welded?

[@SpidiVili]

Does it perform better than the standard manifold?

[@mihaipogacean729]

Omg omg omg :x I realy need that :( I bought a holset hx35 and adapter flange for my t5 c70 , but i think i will need that kind of manifold :( Could you help me please ? In mu country nobody know's that ...

[@ronedwards1425]

Any chance to have this flow tested ?

[@Tp9m30]

How are you weld the center cylinder pipe?? you have a leprechaun's torch??

[@Isaac-wf3cg]

I know this is perfect to show off skills but is it really worth it for mass production?

[@Ring112NU]

Nope

[@saydulbasyarhasbi7079]

Hi Brownie, may i ask, is the is left-hand drive or right-hand drive ?

[@Ring112NU]

+Saydul Basyar Hasbi It's for a left hand drive.

[@lao4me]

Mad skills man, that's brilliant, looks amazing. Question is this a LHD or RHD manifold? What turbo and car (C30)?

[@Ring112NU]

lao4me It's a LHD manifold, and i haven't decided yet what car i'm gonna put it in, thinking about a Volvo Amazon Wagon. Any suggestions?

[@dohc1974]

Brownie Would you mind making a video tutorial on pie cuts? Im just getting into fabrication and Ive yet to figure out how you make such beautiful pie cuts! Very nice video and weld skills!

[@Ring112NU]

dohc1974 Its easy, i use a cold saw at work, and just make all my cuts at a 6 Degree angel from both sides. I don't recommend more than 6 degrees cuts, because the extreme angel it gets... (remember, all sides are cut with 6 degrees, so the total angle of 2 pieces equals 12 degrees) After that i just purged the pipe with argon and weld with.

[@lao4me]

Brownie V70R AWD to make max use of the power you will be putting down :)

[@dohc1974]

I see. Thanks for the tip man1

[@welderguy0000]

Hi, you are welding using pulse?

Can you explay how you are doing it with pedal? I'm trying to weld 2mm wall tube. I'm using 1.6 2% lanthanated electrode, cup size #6 and 7l/min gas flow(~15cfh). But my welds looks ugly.

[@TravisBiggie]

cracks happen in the welds, and you have PLENTY of those.

Not if its welded in the correct manner.
