I have a standard 2 car garage with a few to many things going on all the time. As you may have seen in my build thread the 2 car garage is a little full. I have a Airco 250 Tig welder, plasma cutter, Pro tools modified tube bender, press, air compressor full tool box and general metal fabrication hand tools. This is where most of the Galant build has taken place.
The R.E.E.F. SMIM for a 6 bolt head:
Here are the runner halfs, they are welding inside and out. Here is the die set up in my 12ton home made press. The manifold design was on my car last time it ran and I welded up a few for the flow bench test, which they did hold there own. The street version flows 449cfm per runner.
Here is the start to the radius entry into the runners. After it is welded all around the inside there is about 2 hours of porting to smooth it all out. All said and done it looks like it takes 20+ hours to complete 1 manifold.
On the far right is the first smim I fabricated for the flow bench test. This manifold flowed 445cfm in #2, 3, 4, but #1 flowed 440cfm. The plenum is a little small but would work great on a car with a turbo smaller then a SC61.
Also here are the 2 versions, the "street" version and the "race" version.
Here is an 8 point 1 5/8" chome moly roll cage in an Mr2.
Here is a 6 point chrome moly 1 3/4" roll bar with removable door bars.
Here is the modified pipe bender and a snap shop of the work space. Just letting you guys know I am still alive, I plan to make it out to a lot more gatherings from now on.
