Bravo, congrats from Croatia. I was Tomos rider 30-35 years ago and side intake was my favorite. My last Tomos project was CTX and it was powerfull like hell
Well done. Super impressive result with a simple set up. One small piece of advice though. Have a vent at the far end from your inlet. Gas and some material can fill these meaning no air pockets in your casting and a smoother pour/flow. Either way I'm very envious of the skill and ability shown!
That was a most excellent result. One thing for the new players - do not mix your grinder disks for aluminum and steel. This risks a thermite reaction.
At that size, you'd sure save a lot of money if you went through the casting effort. 3d printing is like only having a hammer sometimes and seeing nails all around you, but dang it's a great hammer
@@qoph1988 That part probably costs $150 3D printed in AlSi10Mg via CraftCloud. I just printed intake manifolds for a v12. Crazy how accessible the technology has become.
Aluminium printing is indeed becoming more accessible which is awesome! It might make sense to print it when you only make a single part. Buying all the supplies for the casting adds up quickly and it takes a lot of time. But for me the educational experience was worth the effort. And now I can say I casted aluminium parts in my backyard ;)
How different we are as people. I bought a 3D printer and found it to be so much hassle that I sold it and prefer actually making things myself. I would rather tinker in my garage than sit at a computer designing stuff. Funny how we find our happiness.
I've broken numerous intake manifold necks like that.... the only way I fixed it was when I made one from steel. Cast aluminium simply isn't for this type of parts. But if it' reliable in this form I'm happy for you bud!
I 3D modeled the intake in CAD software and then used that model to create a hollow mold. The center 'plug' is made with compressed oil casting sand. When releasing the mold carefully, the sand is the exact shape of the center of the intake manifold. The outside mold is also made from oil casting sand. All sand molds together form the exact shape of the 3D modeled manifold out of air. The air is then replaced with the molten aluminium and it becomes an almost perfect part when it's cooled down. Thank you for watching!

That aluminium looks to be very low melting point. I've casted a few parts years ago but trying to get my hands on the correct casting sand is a problem. Probably have to import some.
That is spectacular from everything you used was economical, and you didn't spend 100s of dollars on equipment. Just plain old barb-e-q coal and stove.
@Tomology also use a support raster underneath the first sand form. I am sure you need only half of the sand. Can you reuse the sand after casting? I still want to try this also one day
He Bro, I am definitely new to your channel!!! I stumbled across the video where you smelted aluminum to forge a intake for your Tomos! I purchased a Tomos at a road side sale in a nearby town, got it home & really did nothing with it until 1 day I started looking at it & realized that there is no ID tag or, vin tag or anything! I am unaware if they have to be titled & plated or what? I looked up the engine & it has the bigger engine! The oil line was disconnected so, must run pre-mix which, I have never done! My Yamaha had a oil container & oil injection so, I never had to pre-mix it. I took the carb apart to see IF it needed cleaned but, it looked okay so, I cleaned it then suddenly, I had to move! The carb & parts are stored beside it, offsite at a storage place. How much oil do I need to mix per gall of gas? CAN THEY BE DRIVEN ON THE STREET IN OHIO? If I need to register it, I really don't know how to proceed? It's missing a peddle! & the side skirts, it's all white & black, mostly white with white mag wheels.
cause it's a nice skill to learn and it's a satisfying process. it's also funny watching peoples reactions when I tell them I make aluminium parts in the backyard xD
@@Tomology Yeah definitely :) did the same, although not that intricate. and nice work on the 3d print, really gotta learn cad. which program are you working with?
How's the casting holding up? Still holding that big carb out on a long lever like that? Love the route you went with the barbecue chimney and the hair dryer, that's sick lol
@@Tomology Thats a shame, i live in the netherlands too and use a metra kit cylinder but the manifold is a little bit too long. would love to give you 60 euro's for it. Want mijn gasreactie is nu een stuk slechter dan wat het kan zijn door de knikken en turbelentie. Raad je een ander spruistuk aan die in de buurt komt van dit anders?

Thanks! Yes, I used a vent in another casting project and it works wonders.
You have some awesome enginering skills. Keep up the good work! You are one of my favorite youtubers
thank you man appreciate it!
What a superb job you made there. Brilliant!!
Thank you!
I just wanna say that you are my favourite youtube channel and I hope you will continue doing what you do. Great job!
love to hear that! I will :)
100 points for using a "real" gasket! Not sliming it up with RTV. Yes, you do have the gift :O)
One of the best vids on home casting!
What way to creating a grill, thanks for that 'wow' moment I got from your crucible.
That was a most excellent result. One thing for the new players - do not mix your grinder disks for aluminum and steel. This risks a thermite reaction.
At last something that works Well done chappie
That's very cool. I'm so glad I can 3D print aluminum now, because I know I would never go through all this effort.

@@johnrobie9694so you didn’t make it yourself then. You paid someone to do it for you. Not what this is about.

It still works ;)
It's all in the engineering. Thickness of material type matters, ask any guy haha
I'm still trying to process exactly how you did that so well. How you made the plug for the center. Thanks for sharing.

Good job bro.❤
I want to do it😊
Very useful .
Super awesome!!! I have to make a 2 into 1 intake for my XS-650 bobber.
Thanks!
@@Tomology Oh Yeah!!!!
@@Biokemist-o3k Are you going to try casting your manifold?
The Angle Of The Carburetor Is Off 🤔, It's Going To Affect Your Float bowl Angle 🤔,
Just Say'n 😲 !
Homemade is always better than store bought.
I think it helps doing a raiser...the cavity gets faster filled and the air ecapes true the raiser. 🙂
It sure does. For this small part an air hole at the end would be good enough, but I forgot to add one ;) Still ended up nice though!
Schön gemacht.Respekt!
Danke!
Very impressive!
nice work!!💪
Very nice work, good video. Especially considering the improvised casting furnace! 👍Was the original manifold made of plastic or rubber?
Thanks! This is a custom designed manifold for this bike. I 3d printed a plastic prototype.
Interesting. Nice work
Really cool. Thank you for sharing

the white powder is magnesium silicate or known as talc powder. I use oil casting sand
Is that a red coloured mud? You use for casting
it's called oil casting sand. it's a specific type of sand/oil mix for metal casting
Great job!
thanks!
jel nije bilo lakse od par cijevi inox i jedne plocice argonom slozit prirubnicu?
yes, but I wanted to learn this casting process
@@Tomology thats okey.you noot from ex yugoslavia?
@@Yuri_Bodlovic I live in the netherlands
@@Tomology oh nice.by you are tomos bikes rare but with gears?
@@Yuri_Bodlovic in the Netherlands tomos a35 and a3 mopeds are very common and tomos's such as apn atx with gears are rare
Impressive. Totally should get your face in the video and discuss the experience. There’s not many people that can do that.
Thanks. I will stick to faceless videos though!

That is spectacular from everything you used was economical, and you didn't spend 100s of dollars on equipment. Just plain old barb-e-q coal and stove.
Put a steel wire through the inside sand molt of the pipe?
No, it's just compressed oil sand
@@Tomology it will keep it in place. Now it can move sag and ruin your cast
@@therealspixycat good tip, thanks!
@@Tomology thanks. I saw guys in Pakistan using this technique.
@Tomology also use a support raster underneath the first sand form. I am sure you need only half of the sand. Can you reuse the sand after casting? I still want to try this also one day

oil premix is usually 1:50 ratio. I don't know anything about rules in the US but in the Netherlands it has to be registered and insured
Premixing is better, 2% of oil, but use fully synthetic two stroke oil
That's a good low cost method for making a manifold.
Nice one :) why did you cast the part instead of making it from steel tubing?
cause it's a nice skill to learn and it's a satisfying process. it's also funny watching peoples reactions when I tell them I make aluminium parts in the backyard xD
@@Tomology Yeah definitely :) did the same, although not that intricate. and nice work on the 3d print, really gotta learn cad. which program are you working with?

It's still in good condition. I have to say I haven't ridden it much but the carb was on there all the time while sitting in the garage.
Wow!... Good Job
Thank you!
what is the white poweder do you use ?
magnesium silicate aka talc powder. prevents the sand from sticking to the mold pieces
@@Tomology tank you buddy appreciate
How you keep core central
Watch at 5:58. I designed a rectangle shape in the core mold and in the outer mold. The rectangle shape keeps it in place.
Can you do an exhaust manifold for motorcycles
Sure would be possible. I've made an exhaust muffler with casted pieces!
very cool!
Thats epic.
Was really cool at first but then i started feeling like i was at the dentist.
I can make you some aluminium teeth 👀
Muy bueno!
Poke holes down thought your sand to let gases to escape out.
Belo trabalho , parabéns.
Whats price?
I'm not planning on selling these

yup. still came out great tho!

I have thought about it, but I'm going to stick to these type of videos!
