as the title says i'm having a friend weld me a log manifold and i need to know if this parts are weldable??? thanks!

Yes.


Seriously, look at the name of those two pipes in the lower right corner of each spec sheet.

It says " BUTT-WELD"


What's the reducer gonna be for?

 

not to sound like an *** but, at the bottom right corner of thoes pics.. it says butt weld..

 

the ODs are different, it won't really be a butt weld. it looks like the 1.9" OD of the elbow will either fit inside the big end of the reducer, or outside the small end of the reducer.

 

thanks guys i was just asking because one is stainless steel and the other is just steel, didn't know if it was gonna be a problem.

this is the turbo that i'm using and the reducer is to connect the flange to the manifold. i just didn't wanna just use a straight 1.6" od pipe with a 1.3" id.

thanks again

 

Just make sure to use a 309L filler to weld it up, it's done all the time.

thanks will make sure to get that done.
also will the steel reducer be ok for a turbo manifold???

 

if im not mistaken. thats a VW ko3s turbo? why such a small turbo?

plus is gonna go on a toyota yaris with a 1.5L engine at 7.5psi. (stock engine)

Yeah most people use mild steel flanges. WHy the reducer anyway? I guess the only way it could be a problem is if it's welded inbetween two piece of stainless that are bolted to something or other. Different rates of thermal expansion can be a bitch sometimes.

That just means it can be welded to your anus.

ok the plan for the reducer is to be used to connect the manifold to the turbo using a 3/8" ss flange.

i'll have to use abot 2" of tubing to properlly position the turbo and as you can see the turbine inlet is a funky design, so instead of using a 1.3" id ss tube i was gonna use the reducer(2"-1.3") to make the flow better.

i can't find the ss reducer for the size i need, so i may get the steel one, will it work?

Ya, but what kind of filler would you have to use?

 

that would be the #2 anus fudge filler.

I'm pretty sure the shittiest steel possible will work.

aka...unweldable rebar.

You have to use methane for the gas.
