Slow's build: Wheelie Bar Equipped

[IJ.]

The primary pipe will always be + a couple of degrees compared to the collector so soon as the motor makes temp the pipes will expand and lock in place and seal.

In the old days when using a cast header I'd use this type of joint to minimise cracking.

I know im gonna sound dumb but what dose FTW mean?

You dont sound dumb at all, not everyone is so 'teenage internet language' savy

Slow, you going to use the springs on your collector?

 

[7Mboost]

I bet that could shred a fetus!

The runners aren't welded to the collector. It is a double slip fit and the runners are bolted to the collector. Some pics to help show what i mean....

runner with outer slip to the left, collector to the right

tabs are welded to the runner and the collector to facilitate bolting together....kinda like this...(only not so far apart)

Make better sense?

What is burns?

I figure the pics would do a better job explaining than just some words on the screen.....Especially with me typing them

Rich, no springs, planning on bolts.

I need to get me a real shop, unfortunately the finances aren't there yet and i have to many bills to take the risk...

Happy B-Day!

How is that manifold coming?

 

[Slow66]

Happy B-Day!

Thanks!

How is that manifold coming?

Haven't even touched it to be honest. I need a couple more bends, and i havent felt like spending the $$ yet as i might have an opportunity at another supra that needs some minor work as a street/strip car, much like my old maroon one. I might pick it up and put a couple dollars into it so that i'll at least have a supra to race next year. The Drag Supra needs at least $7k more to be finished, so i don't see it being done for this season, unless i sell the bike

 

[Loki]

Happy birthday.

 

[shaeff]

happy belated birfday!

 

[bowsercake]

My friend will be working for Burns when he graduates this Spring. He'll probably have to do squaw work and answer the phones for a month but after that he'll get his hands dirty. Burns Stainless makes tons of great stuff, I wish that I could afford it, maybe after I graduate this year I'll have more money in the bank.

btw, your manifold looks amazing!
