Making "log" turbo manifolds
Making "log" turbo manifolds I have done a pile of searches with no real info. I plan to make a couple log style manifolds for my turbo project. I am not doing truck manifolds because I want to keep the A/C. I will be using 304 stainless and I'm interested in some input on sizes. I'm guessing 1 5/8 primaries, but not sure of what thickness. All for primaries will run into a single tube(the log) and I'm unsure of the size and thickness that should be, maybe 2 1/8 or 1/4? I plan to have the turbo supported to keep the stress off of the manifolds and pipes.
So far, I'm planning to get everything from these guys:

Any input, links or pics would be appreciated.

Also would like to note the 2" pipe fits perfectly (butt welded) with 2.25" v bands.

The sizing on those weld els is decieving.
Its 1.5 inch Nominal.
The ID is actually 1.600.... almost 1 5/8's.
The od is 1.830-1.850. The flanges ive seen set up for a 1 7/8's pipe allow the weld el to fit inside the flange against the face of the head almost. It ***** it just a touch. I backed them up till the end of the pipe was square to the flange and had them welded on both sides of the flange and the surfaced.
I like how you fed that end cylinder into the log shawn... great job on those.
Edit:
The dimensions stated above are only for the schedule 10 stuff.
