Post your Full-Race setups.
sonny, sorry i missed your post, i dont know how. BTW nice avatar 
heres how to join the two dissimilar metals:
When joining 1018 to Cast Iron--assumming a weldable grade, use RN-61 filler--but pre-clean cast iron by heating to dull red and wire brushing-----then preheat cast iron up to between 700 -1000 F and butter the cast iron in the area of attachment to the 1018 with at least 3/16" thickness of RN-61. You may have to provide for undercutting the cast iron for dimensional purposes to accomodate the buttering layer thickness. You may either then complete the joint to the 1018 using the RN-61 at the elevated temperature or after a slow cool (wrap insulation)around the welded cast iron-----do not weld the cast iron to the 1018----it is preferable to weld the RN-61 to the 1018---this is the reason for the buttering layer. so its not as simple as normal tig welding!

thats funny you say that, i was asked to be on MG last april but couldnt becuase of school, then again this summer but couldnt becuase i had to get surgery, but i will be on it this fall! those welds are not mine, however they are jons, FFgeon. I can weld fairly well, but he can WELD.

Yes he can, those are pics of my turbine housing! Also the manifold that was sent to me is GORGEOUS, Jon did an awesome job for a Serial Killer.
Pics will be up soon.

MG, as in monster garage? You'll fit in with the delinquents around there.
Keep us posted on that.
Soon I will finsih my project...I only wish mississippi had the resources to speed up the process. Geoff, I promise the manifold will be put to good use.
