non honda but this is the second 13b manifold ive made using sc10 pipe, the first was a little rough because i was using larger filler rod. but i was just wanting to know what filler rod most of you guys use when welding this stuff. im still not getting the cleanest welds, im not backpurging but i grind and clean everything before welding, any help is apreciated, thanks.

 

looks good, man i wish honda manifolds were that simple to make haha

 

what kind of motor is that for

 

I use 1/16" filler on sch 10.

13B Mazda Grenade (rotary) engine.

 

that looks about as complex as a aftermarket O2 housing

dont mind us, were just jealous.

make sure you bring a fire extinguisher

 

Looks pretty nice to me. You using a gas lense there or no? My welds looked like that prior to getting a gas lense. Afterwards they brightened up alot...all the black tinge they had here and there went away.

no lense right now, i learned to tig with a miller with a gas lense but im using a lincoln without one now. you think thats the problem? i also need to pick up a water cooled torch, i should get that and the lense at the same time.

 

I definitely think that would help. Mine looked just like that no matter what gas flow I used, how slow I went, etc. I got the gas lense and bam...gold and pink all over the place. Really brightened them up from the superior shield.

I have a Lincoln as well...the PTA17 gas cooled torch...just got some standard #17 lense parts and was good to go. Get the lense man....it's a must have.

 

Hey John are you still at Speedmachine? If so do you guys still have those custom motor mounts to throw an fd or cosmo motor into a 2nd gen? thanks!

 

Turbo charging your law mower I see? Nice mani, one of these days I need to learn how to weld.

 

Most people have good success with .045" filler rod and 1/16" electrode. I just learned on 1/16" and thats what I prefer. Just remember to do a root pass and then a filler pass. A gas lense will help a lot with your color also.

 

John....did you get the gas lense and make another one yet? Pics?
