>>29062198That part could have easily been made out of flat steel. Boomers love their BILLET though.>>29062216Here's the gear case of the lathe I inherited. Works good for making cylindrical objects.
>>29062245>a lathe works good for making cylindrical objectsi am truly shocked
>>29062198imagine needing a CNC to make a part that would take 30 minutes with an angle grinder and welder

>>29062198once again I've forgotten what this retarded newfag acronym is supposed to mean
machining something hidden that could be welded from literal garbage is a sign of autism

>>29062422>They're metric and imperial as well :^))How quirkyPlease blow your own face off with a gun, retarded faggot.
>>29062266We got both kinds of shapes here, cylindrical and rectangular
I don't have the money or the space for a lathe and a mill so I'll have to make do with a welding machine and angle grinder.
>>29062293I Shat Hard Yesterday Got Diarrhea Drenched Trousers
>>29062422>They're metric and imperial as welWell played sir.Well played.
Yeah I machine my own parts, also own a TIG welder and multiple drill presses, hydraulic presses fork lift etc etc
>>29062198Try hard good goy slave
the people around here are too cheap for me to do that
Wish I had the space for a vmc and a lathe. And a press…Might buy a carvera air for my cuckshed. Can at least make some aluminum fittings and stuff here and there
>>29062198Take it a step further and smelt your own steel.
OP this could have been a good thread. I can't tell if you were too obnoxious with your opening post and asked for it or you were being funny and everyone took you too seriously and started picking you apart for doing something I really think is commendable, keeping hobbyist machining alive.
>>29062198I can CNC my own stuff But it's super easy to design something and have a online CNC shop do all the work and coatings.
I want to make high quality parts at home and invest in proper equipment but it's a lot of information to process + unsure what skills should be sharpened before heavy investment. I imagine math? CAD skills, and operation experience. Would be cool as hell, but very difficult to find footing at the skill floor versus other trades. At least in my experiences.
>>2906266fourNobody asked furfaggot.

>>29063286NTA but I've never even heard of somebody here, or on k, that likes you. Simply, you talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded. If you were competent at something you'd have a shred of respect... somewhere. And yet. We would be delighted to learn of your demise.But anyway. Boys, how should I go about making a custom intake manifold for a vtwin? I've been out of the fab game for a few years and my brain is drawing a blank. I don't want to have to buy a 3d scanner or learn CADD. Should I just buy a variety pack of pie cuts and take it slow? How would I do a half decent job the old fashioned way... what is the old fashioned way for something like that? I would prefer to make it in such a way I could put together a print so I could build more of these without a jig in the future if the scene wanted them.
>>29063486Sorry if if that pic is misleading, when I say intake manifold I mean the part between the carb and the heads.
>>29063486I worked at a custom car shop for years doing fabrication welding rust repair etc and they loved me, I’d come in any time I wanted because the work always got done they couldn’t bitch I made a custom intake for my XR500 that converted it from dual carb to single flat slide mikuni, you’ll need a welder and a drill press and a grinder and a bunch of metal
>>29063553
>>29063554
>>29063556Honda really screwed up giving these bikes 2 carbs for a single cylinder, on later ones they re designed the head for one carb but the later intake doesn’t bolt to the earlier head so I had to make one
>>29063558
>>29063559
>>29063558Holy shit what a piece of hot garbage.Looks like something made in high school shop class with flux core.
>>29063560I then TIG welded some intercooler piping to the mikuni carb to get the intake around the rear shock, it was really tight, usually there’s a large rubber boot that squeezes by the rear shock but I did aluminum tubing and massaged it into shape, the bike ran so much better with a single large flat slide
>>29063561Wym it was perfectly smooth inside and outside after sanding and shaping with a die grinder
>>29063565>I had to grind all my welds because I dont have any skillFucking tweaker.
>>29063568My welds aren’t bad? Feel free to post your welds at any time
>>29063571You welds are shit.Overlap is inconsistent and inadequate.This would be an inspection failure.
>>29063576I’m not seeing your welds? Can I see your CWI cert?
>>29063576This one looks like it was laid by a drunk beaner.If you tried to get a job in my shop and this was your test piece id tell you to come back after took some actual welding classes. This was obviously done by someone without training or certs and just learned "on the job".
>>29063579That’s about as good as you get welding a cast carburetor to a piece of Chinese intercooler tubing, welding cast is hard especially when it’s been soaked in gasoline and oil it’s entire life, so much junk constantly bubbling out of it, you’d know this if you welded cast a single time
>>29063582>That’s about as good as you getNo.You just dont know what youre doing.Ive been welding longer than you've been alive.
>>29063586Welding cast is really hard, you should know this, all the nasties come to the surface and start bubblingTake a look at this one, it’s just the way it goes when you weld cast, can I see your CWI cert?
>>29063586There's nothing wrong with his welds, you're just being a nit-picking piece of shit. He's still a fur-faggot and should eat shit and die, but you're right up there with him... Reconsider your life choices.
>>29063558>intake manifold>didn't even make it out of aluminium
>>29063565>perfectly smooth insideA normal person would call this trash.But on meth, this is a finished product.
>>29063598Make sure you don’t look inside your valve covers or intake on a car, those sand casts are gnarly as fuck in there, it’s debated that it’s even beneficial
>>29063602You cope is off the chart.You just make excuses and try to bullshit your way out of your failures.Youre fucking pathetic.
>>29063618Post your welds and certs then fag. Prove you're not just a seething weldlet. All you've done is shit on someone else. I've been on this board plenty long to see this same tired story time and time again, nobody constantly negative about someone else posting their shit like this can ever prove they're any better (if not just a pissy loser with no cars/tools/welds/etc at all).
>>29063586Lol this is some grade A larp. As much as I can't stand that egotistical piece of shit pleb, you are 1000x worse.
>he can't TIG weldKek!
>>29062198>machineThat's not too much stick welding and a grinder until it fits.
>thick steel intake>no effort to make the dividing area between the two ports nice>weld a giant tube directly to the carburetorlollmao
>>29063690Becauae the retard shop monkey doesnt understand engineering.He just mimics other designs hes seen without understanding why they're designed a specific way.>>29063625>just let the lying faggot shit up the site with garbage and dont call him out on it.Would you pay for >>29063598 ?
>>29063690Doesn’t look any worse than the stock one, also doesn’t look any worse than this 12v Cummins intake, it’s literally just a square box that the air flows through with no smoothing and they still make 1k+ hp
>>29063690Also, you should see how Honda welded the exhaust, this is a pic of after grinding it down, the weld literally blocks like 50% of the entire exhaust opening and the bikes still make amazing power, it’s a common mod to grind the weld down but it doesn’t even make a noticeable difference when riding
>>29063643>thick ass plate>tiny baby boogerKys that shit is gonna fold right up
>>29063707You're the only one shitting up the site here being a giant cunt while adding nothing of substance of your own.
>welding the carb to the intakeHahahahahahahhahahahahaWhat kind of clown show is this?!
>>29063770Just had to get the uni pod filter around the shock, works great, what’s the issue?
>>29062245>That part could have easily been made out of flat steelalmost anything that "HAS to be CNC'd" can just be made out of bent sheet metal.
>>29063733bottom tube is 16 gauge angle iron just sits on top and is welded all across, post welds
>>29062198>phillips bolt with used with precision machined parts>bare metal doesn't appear to be rust coated or sealed in any waynigger what the fuck are you even doing
>>29063865Its aluminum.Go look at all the bare aluminum components in your engine bay.
>>29063775>what’s the issue?Youre a fucking moron.Are you going to weld the head to the block next?Maybe get rid of all those pesky fasteners in general and weld the starter to the case. And you could even weld the side cover to the case so it never leaks.
>>29063884Give me one reason why it’s a problem?I’ll wait kek
>>290639661) service2) replacement3) alignment4) heat soak5) warpage/distortion of highly sensitive machined passages.And ill bet you didnt disassemble it when you hit it with 1,400°F
>>29063729>makes a shit part>"b-b-but at least it's no worse than this literal industrial powerplant which is not optimised for performance in slightest!" Good to see you holding yourself to such high standards, really shooting for the stars there bud.
Don't respond to it. It's a braindead furfaggot who shits up ever thread it's in. Just filter it and move on.
>>29063993>serviceIt installs even easier than the stock carb >replacement I can make another one in literally 5 minutes >alignment It aligns perfectly? The bike runs great>heat soakOn the fucking cold side of the intake? If anything it’s acting like a heat sink and pulling heat out of the carb >warpageHow are the jets going to warp deep inside the carb? Do you even understand how a carb works kekI could hold the part after welding it, aluminum is an excellent heat sink >>29064004Tell Honda to optimize for performance when they block nearly half of the fucking exhaust ports lol >>29063732
>>29064015That's the cool thing about exhausts my little wrenchlet buddy - they don't need to be anywhere near as big or flow anywhere near as smoothly as the intake because the engine is pushing the gas out. What's the diameter on that exhaust "restriction" and how does it compare to the exhaust valve diameter?
>>29064022Damn you know what you’re right, I should just let the bike rot instead of making a new intake for it because Honda was dumb enough to use dual carbs on a single cylinder >>29064004>not optimized for performance Then why are they making 1k+ hp all day long like it’s a damn 2jz?
>>29064033There is a third option - you could just make a part that's not shit.What density of air is required for the industrial powerplant to make 1000hp?
>>29064039Except it’s actually running better than the old carb because the carb is slightly bigger and it has a pumper and a flat slide, they changed to a single carb on the later bikes for a reason As for your second question, I’ll just wait for you to answer it
>>29064046Did they make a better manifold for their single carb?
>>29064048The frame and shock are entirely different on the single carb, they offset the shock to the left to make room for a larger single carb instead of having 2 carbs that go around the centered shock, hence the awkward angle and super short length of the intake I made A few people have attempted what I’ve done, it’s either this or put the newer single carb head on but you still have to fight with the shock that’s in the way due to packaging issues
>>29064054Did they make a better manifold or not?
>>29064057Judging by that one no, it’s also flat at the back where it mates up to the head, I did put a nice radius on the ports before welding it all out
>>29064059>judging by this other custom manifold which is also shitcurious that you won't answer
>>29063729These make 20hp per litre N/A lmao
>>29064077Dont exaggerate....Its 27hp per L>a 1971 pinto with the 2.0 was pushing 61hp per LLO fucking L
>>29064054>>29064046>>29064059Retards don't know they are retarded, because they are retarded
>be me>be kicking the fur faggot's dick in the dirt for an hour>go offline to change oil and make dinner>come back and see someone else tagged in when I left and has been ripping the scumbag a new asshole without skipping a beat.Fucking hilarious.And the crazy part is its a common occurrence.
>>29063586Posting your welds would be a very simple way to end this argument
>>29063594>There's nothing wrong with his welds,>>29063579is literally full of pinholes lmao
A touch off topic but I tried this in /DIY/ and it became a mental illness festival with extra hate.1:32 slot car chassis, I want to punch these from steel and NO tooling can be bought as far as dies and other punches, what do?Stick generic punches in a 12 ton and hope dudeweed inspires something? I've never stamped anything.
I live in an apartment so I only have one of those shitty desktop drill guide thingiestheres fucktons of chatter on it because the drill is not in there very tight and my bits all suck anyway. also i dont have proper clamps so it's heckin dangerous
>>29064455desktop usb CNC machines work great as a technical drill, especially if you're doing controlled depth and angle with clamp and jig.
>>29064103Well I'm no diesel expert but I was just going off 115hp for a 6B on wiki
>>29064435As he said that is welding cast. It is usually full of contaminates that bubble out. He could probably do another pass over it with the tig torch to melt some of that out, but it might introduce more. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't fucking matter. It's not structural, and it produced a working part, which is more than you have ever done... Like I said I'll shit all over that faggot pleb when needed because he is an insufferable attention whore, but at least he's getting something done and somehow, some way, you are being an even bigger insufferable piece of shit than he ever has been. Go ahead and post parts you've made... Here you can go ahead and shit all over my turn signal cam plate I made to fix the broken plastic pegs on an old Ford truck. End of the day it made a working part, better and faster than I could get one in town, using scrap I had laying around, and I guarantee it'll never break again.
>>29063486pirate solidworks and run it in a VM, it's idiot proof and then you can just get your intake 3d metal printed or try it in TPU for bonus reduction in charge temps.
>Come back>Some idiot is posting welding gore>Think I'm in the robot waifu thread in /diy/ for a moment>>>/diy/2969431
>>29064458>CNCit is one of these fucking things you goddamn bot
I challenge everyone to find another carb thats been welded directly to the intake.
>>29065012i know a guy who jb welded his on but because the pipe it goes on was fucked up and it was just one of those motorized bike kits anywayi swear it wasnt me. mine is actually just very loose so i have to wiggle it back into place occasionally because the clamp it came with sucks. but my clutch plates are currently welded together :')
>>29065012That’s actually the carb welded to the air filter, the intake is on the engine side and that’s just held on with a hose clamp and small section of rubber tube
>>29065023>carb welded to the air filter,this is actually pretty normal on small bikes. or at least the air filter will be some plastic piece of shit that is a one-way fit and not removable without destroying it
>>29064033>Then why are they making 1k+ hp all day long like it’s a damn 2jz?and>that adapterHoly fucking shit lmao this nigga does not even understand the fundamentals of engine airflow. I suspected he's actually brain damaged but the suspicion grows stronger. What a creature.
>>29064967a cheap desktop cnc can preplan all your drilling at once and to variable depth, and if you're hot on claps and jigs you can set secondary axis angles.Anon, the captive drill helper is not much cheaper. They're both poorfag shit.
>>29065095>desktop CNClike 500bux even for a chinesium modelmeanwhile that device was 15$ from Princess Auto and the drill was another 10$ at a thrift shopobviously a cnc machine would be better but i am POOR you dumb wh*toid

The cheapest Genmitsu on ebay is about $120 new. It has a few less features but not critically so.

claims his car is manual>no spark advance lever
>>29066043let's be honest with ourselves here - is there ever a time when you would want to manually input the timing to change it from its pre-mapped ideal?
>>29066078There is no "map" on that vehicle.The advance curve is determined by how much you pull out the lever.
>>29066086That is what he is getting at. How is manually adjusting your spark timing any better than letting a computer adjust your ignition timing or distributor weights and vacuum advance? That and fuel trims are actually very nice "modern" upgrades in vehicles and pretending pulling a timing advance lever manually is superior is just retarded.
>>29065315As an adult you should be able to spend $150 on a machine you can recoup the cost of with a handful of hobby jobs or side jobs.Use the supplied wood bits and a free file and sell something 6 times for $20. I bet you could just steal some wood.Make something with a Grateful Dead Stealie skull, they lap that shit up. Serll them 10 incense burners ffs.
>>29064455Just get a proper vise and a decent hand drill. Useful for 1000x other things as well. To hell with a desktop CNC. That shit is for nerds. Also quit being poor.
>>29066176While there are some things that require a hand drill, this poster is a boomer faggot. Buy today's tools.
>>29066377>While there are some things that require a hand drill, this poster is a boomer faggot. Buy today's tools.Everything you can make on your faggy little desktop cnc I can make faster and better with traditional tools. The only way CNC wins is with really complex parts or mass production.

>>29065023Yoi should go get some pics from the hawk fire.Like really close.Ill bet pics of "your" wrangler driving through the flames would be awesome to post on /mlp/
>>29062198>muh billetYou could have made that out of folded sheet metal with a vise and hand tools, retard.
>>29067190He could have made it out 2x4s on a table saw also.
>>29067289Braking flat would be way more efficient. Welded tabs onto sheet aluminum or steel would have been nearly as efficient as braking flat material. Subtractive machining has to be the most idiotic/wasteful way to make something like said bracket.
>>29067316Yeah but once you have the measurements all set up you can't go wrong, with welding strips of metal together it's way too easy to get a tack to pull things out of square
>>29067316>t. Mikhail Kalashnikov
>>29066118This nigga gets itThe only computer allowed in my cars is the one that controls timing and fueling, idle control is optional but I'd really rather a choke lever, and maybe another computer for music if the car is quiet enough.
>>29067385stg44 was a stamped gun that existed before the AK, Russians don't innovate, only copy like Chinese
>>29067325Get gud son... Yes welds can and do pull. Proper welding technique and clamping can negate this to the point it doesn't matter much. Sometimes you can also build things in place so they fit 100% without a whole lot of measuring or fiddle-fucking around.
>>29067190I did. twice. And fun fact, bending sheet metal can create a stress concentration at the bend that makes it much more susceptible to fatigue failure after x amount of vibrations. Even if it's strong enough, it was probably going to fail on me eventually. The reservoir hangs off the bracket quite a bit and bounces around a lot, especially on track.Even the spacer Kraftwerks supplied with the reservoir failed. This is the 4th time I've fucked around with it, and every time it fails, bolts fall out while I'm driving, hence the mismatched bolt nonsense going on.I got pissed off and just made it out of a solid block of aluminum. And why not? I just grabbed a scrap chunk of aluminum we had sitting in the corner of the shop, so it literally cost me nothing other than a couple hours of programming and machining time.
