LETS GO TO MBS SHOP!!!; possible fabrication of headers
Topic Started: Mar 23 2011, 10:15 AM (982 Views)

anyone interested on meeting up and going to a shop in pasadena MD?

theres a shop in maryland that maybe able to fabricate a header for our cars but my 1996 swift is undriveable at the moment.

i live in new york and i would travel to maryland to meet up with geo members ( with their metro/swifts) to come with me to go to MBS shop in pasadena, for a possible fab work on our headers. i was hoping we could meet up somewhere close to the area on fri morning (APRIL 1, 2011).
here's the link to the shop:


digitizing your exhaust/headers

address: 2539 Mountain Road Pasadena, MD 21122

thanks all

He can have mine for a couple of weeks, but we'll end up with a header that won't fit your car. Mine's a 16V.

hahaha, i dont care, as long as theres a shop that will do our headers...

woodie, i am not even sure if we will be just wasting ourt time over there, if the "HEADERS" is possible for them to fabricate. but my point is i will try and HOPEFULLY, we will try to accomplish this by going there. (sounds too hopeful?, lol)

on a side note: i am not trying to profit from these deal. nor im planning to do so. but if the headers can be fabricated then we wil ask to have a "group buy" then the second production is up to their pricing/disposal(if there's gonna be a second production).

so i presumed you're in WOODIE?

who else with of course a 4 cylinder 8 valve 1.3L.......lol

I really doubt you'd be able to get enough people, on a Geo forum, that were willing to shell out what they will cost.

I don't know if the head on mine will even have the exhaust ports in the same place as yours by the time I'm done with it . . .

you are right CB, i dont know how much it would cost us, going there with the car on hand will probably sort this out. if it can be fabricated at a little cost to us, people are willing to spend close to $300 ( with O2 bung and shipping on a crappy SRD with no egr port). how much do you think it would be?

but hey, its about tryin', the only expendables out if this trip is your time, gas and most likely you have to leave your car for a week or so? (for me time - will take my PTO of 10 hours, gas and toll money -- i will be driving there from ny)

Could this Guy REVERSE ENGINEER a Header Design from an EXISTING Unit ??......I have a SRD G10 3 Cyl Header thats never been run......It's a POS as far as quality goes, but might serve to provide the Basic Design for something a bit better. I'm willing to let you guys Borrow/Use it just as long as I Get it back in decent (?) condition........ Your Thoughts ??............

i think this trip is not going thru.....

i guess im going to find who will fabricate an exhaust manifold flange and then have it fabricate with piping for a header.....

but i'll wait till wednesday am for people "who are serious" on going this trip.

thanks all :-)

okay, moving on............ lets close this thread..... ;-(

anyway, i found in teamswift.net forum about the exhaust manifold flange being fabricated as of the moment ( for 3 cyl car only)

i was able to contact the guy that does the fabrication and he told me i just need to send him the gaskets and a spray scan of the existing flange off the manifold ( 4 cyl swift/metro).

i have yet to get the QUOTE for the pricing, here's the email from the guy:

We can match the gasket and cut the flange.
Tom

Joseph
We will need the template and material type before I can give you a price quote.
Any order after that, will be less expensive since there will not be any "engineering time" needed.
Tom


so, who wants one? more people the cheaper so we can "Share" on the "set-up" cost of digitizing the flange. and i will gladly give the "file" to johnny if the fabricator allows it.
