doing some late night welding getting my car ready for the new turbo and manifold..

here are some teaser pics of the downpipe im making for my new setup.. i will post the turbo install as parts come in the mail Cody at lovefab is making me a manifold for the h22 with the Tial Vband housing


compliments or criticism is welcome, im not a professional welder, just enought to make my stuff for my car, so any advice to improve my welding is more then welcome!

 

not enough post flow on the welds and you may want to turn donw the heat a tiny bit.

looks good though. better welding then a lot of "professional" welders.

whats with the bungs? are they o2, evac or injector bungs?

 

Too hot and too cold in a couple places. Not enough post flow. Dipped the tungsten in one place too. But it looks good for someone who dabbles in welding. All you need is more practice and you'll get it. What size gas lense are you using and what is your gas flow set at?

the bungs are o2 bungs one is for my dedicated wideband, and the other one on other side is for my tuner when i get tuned.. otherwise it will be plugged.

the post flow is set on automatic (syncrowave 200) any suggestion on how long to set the postflow?

i think the gas flow is set between 20-25 cfm, i would have to recheck that

the gas lense im using is a pyrex glass cup from HTP weld, im not sure what size it is.. its not as big as a 10 ceremic but not small either

 

Looks alot better then what ive seen come from alot of "pro" welders.

 

It doesn't look very uniform like a few things I've seen from some of the people on here...

But certainly very very good; I'd buy it

me too, looks good guy.

 

didn't know you welded...good ****

what manifold you going with? how much power you trying to make now

 

i always try to put two o2 bungs in downpipes too. good thinking.

i would put your flow meter at 20 cfh with a post flow of 6~8 seconds. you may waste a little bit, but better safe then sorry.

once you turn your heat down a little bit, you need less post flow. you want to keep post flow on a couple seconds after the metal has lost its cherry.

or you can pulse manual or with the machine. that will help a lot, especailly on exhaust tubing.
