Re: Welding head flanges-mounting heatsink

I now use a piece of solid 2" thick steel. it works much better than the aluminum.

the 2" steel block can surprisingly get extremely hot after welding the runners onto a manifold.

Re: Emilio's 1999 Ek Hatch Build (LOTS of progress photos, always updating!)

Looks great.

Ever thinking about filling some of the holes in the bay? at least a partial shave. I know its a lot of work, I did it way back in the day.

Re: Post pictures of your collector jigs.

you need to index the cut depth from the butt of the pipe. I see you have it marked on the jig how far back to put it.

I find my Miller digital elite turns off too fast when a welding aluminum.

Delay on my hood doesn't seem to change anything post weld.

Re: AMR Coilovers

Call your Credit card company and say that you never received the goods like I did a few years ago.

Your CC company is usually pretty quick to respond.

Re: Help me improve my Tig

Correct your torch angle and don't weave the torch.

Sharp tungsten, proper torch angle and heat will all make it easier to make a nice bead on tube/round flanges.

Re: Post your best welds!!!!!!!

use more amps to melt the rod. Your purging, you can run more amps with no ill effect.

you can also move a little faster with larger rod, more amps and purge.

Might seem backwards, but weld with an on/off trigger switch and you will develop a lot of new welding techniques that a pedal will cover up.

Re: RMS Fab Billet collector

Long screamer pipes that aren't supported and non bellowed recirculating wastegate pipes are the issue with wastegate arm failure.

Nice piece though.

Re: Opinion on the welding of this Manifold

The head flange to runner welds are pretty thin. looks like the same amperage as the pipe.

needs to get ready for a hot paw and turn the welder up to something higher like 130Amps instead of 60.

I bad one of those too. They take a long time regardless. Still get ceramic belts. They will last a lot longer. But you will still be a minute or two to bevel the pipe.

Re: Newbie for fabrication forum

Get a 36 grit ceramic belt. They will last a lot longer, and cut really fast.
it takes me about 5 seconds to bevel the end of a pipe.

The rest looks good . Have fun.

Re: 97 civic rear wheel arch suggestions?

use some seam sealer on all of those seams, and then use a coating product to cover the metal. it will both seal and quiet the rocks and road debris that will hit it as well as prevent rust issue.

Yes.

Pre flow for 0.5.


Post is way longer, but depends on amperage. 5-15 seconds depending for post.


The 0.5 second pre keeps a more stable arc start (less white etching on aluminum)...
