I sense a hint of sarcasm.

 

lol... I bet i could lift my car using my wastegate flange. Mild steel log manifold ftw!

 

Where did I say I'm doing my engine swap to be different ?

BTW weld-el's for turbo manifolds are so 2000, "brah"

Goddamn you are dense.

 

Ah hah, I knew there was a better material for my temporary headers, i'm going to order some inconel right now

Oh things got out of hand due to driftretard running his mouth about building a manifold from mild steel to verify everything you want is correct, being a dumb idea.

Sorry but i'll take the words from burnsstainless over some tard bragging about his tig welding, when thousands of other people do it every day, plenty better than him.

 

Your right you never said it, but your engine says it for you. If your hating on being different then buy a sr20 and be the same.

Whats wrong with weld-els. Thats what full-race uses thats what peak boost uses.

Yeah cause mild steel headers are gay ass shit. Im aloud to brag about my great tig welding cause im great at it. When you learn to tig weld then you can brag too untill then your shit looks like ass. Should I suggest to full race to start making all the manifold in mild steel is that a good idea.

 

Since you are stupid, and cannot possibly comprehend something, without it being completely laid out in front of you...

At the horsepower levels I want, (400-450 rwhp), a properly built SR20, how I would do it if i'm bothering, would probably run about $10,000 total for the entire drivetrain. This would still leave me with an engine that half of the parts arent available locally and fast (this is a daily driver build), an engine that is short on torque (see daily driver reference), an engine that requires boost to make said power levels, and probably a turbo mounted as such that i'd be playing the silly games everyone around plays with trying not to boil brake fluid, cruising on the highway at 3500-3800 rpm, an alternator that puts out a whopping 80 amps.

For half that I can install the engine I am, have a 140-150a alternator, parts availability for anything I might need, a hell of a lot more torque, an extra overdrive gear, a 12" dia clutch, did i mention a lot more torque ? Cruise rpm's in the jack shit, to nothing range, and not need to shift at 8k to do this. Oh did I mention have a pcm that will fully control fans, based on temperature and speed, on a high/low setup (series and parallel, but you probably dont know how that works), and be able to hit all this with a little bit of nitrous, putting things in the 650 HP @ flywheel range, not too bad for a daily driver and at half the cost, with better daily driveability, and full parts availability.



I didnt say anything was wrong with using them, but you want to run your mouth like you are producing Ti, or inconel manifolds around here, and are too dense to realize that for the application the mild steel headers are plenty good enough, let alone the fact that I was planning for them to be temporary.

I wasnt bragging on my welding, but like I said, your manifolds in the picture albums definetly dont all look shit-hot, sorry that mild steel will work just fine for the exhaust gases escaping from my engine, and not need to support anything, have fun needing to support a turbo, because your engine cannot make the power numbers without it.

 

I did not read this cause im not talking about what you what. What im taking about is being different. You say being different is stupid. You are being different by running a ls1 instead of a sr soooooo In your own words YOU yourself is stupid for being different ill make it easier you did not want to be the same by fulling build a sr so you bought a ls1 that is being different you fag. So you are calling yourself stupid.

Yes I would produce a Titanium manifold if someone wanted one. Yeah we will see how "temporary" they are I bet they will be on your car for atleast a year or more. Making a manifold out of horse shit is good enough but you dont see ppl doing it.

I know you were not bragging if you knew how to read you could see I said nothing about you bragging. Like I said before give me the word and ill post up all kinds of my welds to prove you wrong.

And yes ill have alot of fun with my turbo you just make sure to have fun with your stupid ass push rods.

 

Should we take this to the v8 thread where the Toyota v8's have been proven better then your gay ass GM v8

 

This argument reminds me of that epic 300zx argument a while back. With the dyno/race challenge and everything.

 

Drifthappy, I need some pipes for my motorbike. You can do this?
