Making a turbo manifold merge collector PART 1

- A multipart video series of me making my first ever merge collectors with the use of the LPSFAB collector cutting jig
Learning how to make the correct cuts to suit different flange sizes like t3 and t4 etc and then practising and learning the best way to tig weld them up to get the best looking results A few people have asked about donating to the channel and although that is not expected it is of course very welcome and very much appreciated so for anyone who does want to make a donation please click on the link below

I don"t think I will ever make a collector like that but I had to watch it all the same. Such a relaxed way you have in doing what you do...Waiting for part two....
i bought plasma cutter, as first step to make long tube header
,
Thank you very much!! It is very helpful for me.

Hi,
Glad the video helps you 👍
Awesome informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome
Marc
Had to give this video a thumbs up! Nobody has a video explaining steps A-Z.

Thanks
I try to make it as clear as possible on something like this
KINZY FABRICATIONS I know people are afraid to “give out their secrets” because they don’t want anybody else to compete with them which i think is selfish. Plenty to go around right?
Jursaw
Yeah everyone has seen it done, I only learned myself from other TH-cam video’s but thought I’d do my own to explain a little more in depth
KINZY FABRICATIONS I like your explanation because I just messed up my pipes trying to cut them all the same. I had the jig too close to the band saw blade and took off too much material plus my pieces are about 4.25” inches compared to yours that are only 3” long. Im going to try what you showed with PVC pipe. You earned yourself a new subscriber!

Thanks 👍
Hello from the UK. I have a FEMI saw. Could you let me know the 2 cut measurements from the vice that you are using please?
Cheers in advance !
Sorry but i cant remember them off the top of my head, i normally just guestimate it when i do it
Thanks
Marc
Very nice video. How do you calculate or define the cut depth? I need to make a 3in1 collector with a round end for a vband 😄
Daniel I’m afraid that’s pretty much trial and error to get it as close as you can for your flange, a good starting point is cutting the tubes down to 75mm to start with
Thanks
Marc
hi sir nice wook can i know where to get the tools i need that tools
Hi
The collector jig tool is from LPS FAB in USA , if you google them you will find it
Thanks
Marc
@@kinzy_fabrications thank sir
Hello mate, so i made a jig and today i finally cut the pipes like you...So its square collector for 4 cylinder and fits good..But its from plastic to practice :D but it doesnt matter..now i need to make a 5 cylinder square..How you made it? The same like 4 cylinder but 72 degree and how you pair it, as there arent 4 pieces , but 5 ...But thank you anyway...really good explanation ...you deserve much more subscribers...
Hi, thanks for the comments. im glad the video helped you with your 4 cyl collector, i have not done a 5cyl before so can't show you any examples personally, but yes 72* would be correct. As for how to pair it you fit them equally and then the best way is once tac'd together cut the end down so it matches your flange as best you can and then dress the metal to the final flange shape.
Thanks
Marc
You could cut all 4 at the first attempt.
And when you make the second cut just turn two of them to the left and two of them to the right or am i thinking wrong?
Greets from Germany ✌
Yes i think that would work
who manufactures the clamp you are using i would be keen to get one for my self :)
It's from LPSFab
Lpsfab as mentioned
How would I do a 3 pipe collector with 3 2” sch40 pipes into a t4. Great video
Working on a manifold for a 20b engine
Youd have to google that online as i only ever done the 4 way connectors
Sensacional
Eduardo Marchezin Fernandes Thanks
How do you like that bandsaw? Im thinking of buying the same one from tricktools website.
Expensive but nice and small and accurate so great for more detailed cuts rather than the big bandsaw
Thanks
Marc
From bottom of the arcs to the bottom of tube how long are they? With these numbers i would be able to copy same exact fit as yours and overall length
Hi
On the long cut the arc is 20mm from the base of tube
On the short cut the arc is 40mm from the base of tube
Hope that helps
Thanks
Marc
how good to have the right equipment ..... the cut will always be 90 degrees to the sides?
Hi
Yes on a 4 cylinder collector yes, i have cut them in the cnc machine now using the same LPSFAB fixture to get perfect cuts
Thanks
Marc
love the video. but could probably cut the video length by half by speeding up the cut or sanding portions. some things are just painstakingly long haha
Chris Miller
Yeah I know what you
Mean, I only make the videos on my iPhone and the app doesn’t have speed up function on the editing
Thanks
Marc
@@kinzy_fabrications ahhh. pretty good for a phone video then!
What TPI bandsaw blade do you use to cut these?
I’m pretty sure it’s a vari blade with variable tpi
Thanks
Marc
Thanks although that doesn’t really help. Is it like a 14/18...20/24 tpi
Nice work...How thick is that? 3mm?
I am tryin to make merge collector too, but for 5 cylinder and without that jig :D So it will be little different without, but maybe it should work
ilikemyboost
Hi thanks
This is sch10 and is roughly 2.7mm wall thickness
@@kinzy_fabrications Thanks a lot mate :) nice channel...already subscribed :) keep more videos like this coming :)
@ilikemyboost dude, go to lpsfab.com and grab one man. You wont regret it. Its a little pricey, but it will save you money and even make you money if youre into that. This video is one of the best explanations of how to use it too! I wish I had this when I got mine haha. I'm also going to be making a 5cyl collector for an AAN for a customer and having Justin from LPS (cutting fixture) cut me the flange! Good luck!
@@jamesknox2989 Its little bit pricey, but if you using it very often, than is not a problem...But i am not sure if i will make more collectors :D But i like this tool. I need to train first on some plastic water pipes and than go on ss pipe :D i will make it from 321 aisi
Also what settings on the welder?
Hi
I can’t remember settings, I just tweak as I go till it seems good
Thanks
Marc
please ..... I could not enter the translation with how many degrees you left to perfectly join the pieces ..... congratulations on the videos.
Hi
Depending on your saw cut its really trial and error to find the exact degrees for you
Thanks
Marc
Subbed thank you!
Welcome
The cheap 304 is the wrong material for manifolds.
schmatzek1
Hi,
The material is cheaper but so was the customers budget so this suited there requirements and the 304sch10 works fine for manifolds, it’s just a bit heavy
I use at least 321 or better. If the customer has no money, he should buy in China. German Enineering🤘
schmatzek1 Most companies make them out of 304 SCH10 or SCH40
Please wear gloves even when you are tacking, UV radiation aint nothing to fuck with
i know, it is a bad habbit to have
How you like that bandsaw ?
ben dover
I think it’s great for the size and price
Thanks
Marc
