Feel like fixing some cracked GTM manifolds? Can you do it fast enough for Cosmo to not do something drastic from boost withdrawal?

I have done it before...welding (arc/tig/mig) is not the right way to fix a cast manifold though

Basically, we're looking for someone to fix these damn things in a reasonable time frame. Seems like you might be able to weld a little bit.

Plus, it's yet another way GTM can continue to be the best salesman for BP's products and services.

I know everything muhahaha now seriously, welding courses, manufacturing engineering, machining, autorepair, and a decade of experience. Knowing people helps too, as well as a serious passion for all things mechanical. Designed and built my first sc kit at 16 lol

I posted up info about using a restrictor to fix the coolant line issue but cosmo had it deleted

Do you know a company that can make us a manifold for GTM replacement that you can hook us up with?

You could try contacting speedforce racing but it won't be cheap.

Yeah that guy knows it all and is often a prick here on the forum. I highly suggest starting a new thread on making after-market gtm manifolds so we stay on subject here. Do not start any crap on my thread 1slow370 as you have done before. Oh and before you listen to what this guy has to say keep in mind he was trying to tell Charles how to make a fuel return system and got owned....

I didnt get "owened" we agreed my way of doing the return system would work you just cant fit it on the z. If you read it there are things i said that he would like to do, there just isnt room.

What I'm going to do is have them x-rayed to see if the crack is superficial or not and then have then welded. Just from looking at them it seems the cracks are superficial because you can't see any light through the inside. Understand people this process of making entirely new manifolds to replace the gtm one's will take a lot of time and r&d to do it right and I don't have that amount of time to again wait to get my car up and going again.

Yeah, if there's any way to patch up what you've got and get back on the road you need to do it. Another few months without boost and we're going to have to put you on suicide watch.

Get the car back on the road and we'll figure out who wants to go into business making replacement manifolds later.

Plus the king mackerel are starting to come in and snapper season isn't too far behind that!!! Anyone like deep sea fishing here? Been working on my boat the past 2 weeks getting it ready for the summer but I NEED MY BOOST!!!!!

Dad started me king fishing when I was like three years old. Nothing like the feel of that first run. We took a neighbor one time and when the king took off he tried to slow him down by placing his thumb on the spool. Hard lesson that deep sea fishing is not bass fishing.

COSMO · 03-21-2014, 08:50 AM

Yeah man I'm dying to get back on the water...

That's a nice setup. I like those four stroke engines. First time I got in a boat with one I didn't even think it was running.

Chuck33079 · 03-21-2014, 07:16 AM

Yeah, do whatever's necessary to patch up the manifolds and hammer out the rest of the car. You're what, 30 days from 600whp or so? No sense in dragging it out unless its absolutely necessary.
