Looking for someone who can tig alloy needing 4 short pipes put on a micra manifold as local company's to me either aren't interested or want to charge silly money!

If any one can help please message me I'll upload some photos tonight to show what I'm after! Cheers

you can see in photo 2 the difference in size/shape of the piping this is my second choice set up using silicone hoses up to a steel plenum

 

My first option would preferably be a one piece mani/plenum setup using the original cast mani face/flange whatever you want to call it with enough room for injectors up 90 degree bended alloy into a plenum where i can bolt the original throttle body to the en. I really hope someone makes sense of what i mean :shy:

Still a bit of work to get them to fit properly. How fast do you need it ?

It will need a lot of fetteling to get it ready for welding if you look at the last pic. If it would just be the welding i could help you with it.

i have 10 cut tubes the same size and im planning to try to shape on to the pipe to see if it would work but with it being a soft metal i can see it cracking if i take it to far, also im looking to keep the outer edge as round as i can for clamping hoses to it but with the pipe being so short i cant imagine it to be to successful. But ill definitely give it a bash :shifty:

I can help you out, I would start with some smaller OD pipes though. I've made plenty of exhausts that go from round to square and I usually use a mandrel to form them, same can be used for aluminium too.

is there a reason you have 51mm OD pipe to join onto the inlet?

I could also make you a plenum up, to mount your TB onto.
