Hello to everybody!

I`am looking this forum a few years and finally join here.. I join here to show you all my work..

So here we go...

Full stock b16 engine with itb. ITB is from cbr 929.. Car has great power, a lot torque in middle rev..



Then made exhaust manifold 4-1, had to remove a A/C to put header on.. great power in high rev.. Sorry for bad quality picture..



Aluminum cat back and rear muffler..

Pipe is 60mm


Muffler is about 5lbs



Then made a air chamber and air box open air panel.. This is so loud, when v-tec kick in there is no sound crossing..



Water tank for radiator..



CAI..





Strut brace still in progress, need to make a brake stoper..



Air direct..



Some work on my rx7 fc3s..

Exhaust, pipe is 70mm and rear tip on muffler is 4.5in, on muffler is sard silencer..









Downpipe is also 70mm..



Intercooler piping and air filter..




Then water tank and air water surge for cosworth..



Then i build turbo system for my civic. Turbo is from rx7 fc, intercooler is from ford probe, everything else is custom..

Manifold and downpipe in progress..





Finished manifold..









Finished downpipe and manifold that bolt on everything..









Here is now.. Still in progress catch can/water tank..







Hope that you enjoyed..

 

where are you from?

is this a professional shop that your selling work to customers?

i dont mean to be rude because im not the best tig welder, but it looks like your welds could use a little work in the asthetics department.

id also definetely re route that intercooler pipe on that civic, and ditch that cheesy intercooler for something aftermarket.

decent job on the exhaust manifold though

 

From europe..

This is not professional shop, only my garage..

I`am beginner at tig.. I don have pedal, gas leans etc.. so is little hard to weld.. but i`am trying..

Pipe is short as can be.. Intercooler is very thick and efficient,air temp are low, response are great.. There is no need for bumper like intercooler and have 4-5 90 degrees elbow..

thanks..

 

You could have came out of the intercooler and went infront and below the intercooler then turned just after the radiator on left side ( from front of car) and then went straight up to throttle body. Would look better, not be sitting around all the heat from the manifold and not be in the way of the upper radiator hose.

 

I'll give you major credit for building everything yourself, I might not agree with how you did some things but who am I to talk bad about your stuff.


Keep using the tig, you will be much better at it as time goes on.

I'd imagine 90 degree elbow's mandrel bent tubes are spendy which is why your using straight tubes and cutting them and tigging the ***** out of em!


and again, good job.

little different than from over here, but great ingenuity

 

You guys have different style. Why do you never use elbows on your intakes, exahusts etc...

You just pie cut everthing

 

great work its nice to see someone from across the atlantic making parts. if you search here or browse here you will get great ideas and help, and if your a open minded person you will get great ideas about how to improve your work and technic welcome to Honda=Tech btw.

 

You need a foot pedal. I recommend you buy one, you wont know your welder afterwards.

 

not bad for no amperage control. and you dont NEED a gas lens like some people think.

 

Thanks for all comments..

Here,mandrel bent is very hard to find and expensive, a 90 degree elbow's cost about 20-30 $.. I like more pie cuts..

I need foot pedal badly .. I know that i dont need gas lens, but people love colors and you must live from something..

Thanks for comments again..

 

I like it great work I wish more people would post from their garage work but i think people are scared as their are lots of a ss holes on this section unfortunately in past 2-3 years

 

some of those aluminum welds look horrid!

 

for no pedal i think its pretty good

 

Some of them are good for no pedal, but those on the catch can are uuuugggly. lol

 

can you start a topic and post your work?

 

yup.

its not pretty enough... I just sit here and laugh at all the "experts"

apparently that is all anyone cares about from what i have gathered reading here in more recent times.

 

Thanks guys, thank you for kind comments!

Where I have learned to weld the last thing that instructor want to see is how nice weld can be. They like "heavy duty" high temperature welds so they know it will hold. Different ways to weld, different instructors...

 

im going to say it i have one been welding mig and tig for a about 3 weeks and mine look alot better then most of those and its its can still hold and be heavy duty and not look so built up.

 

Good work.

 

I really appreciate that you have posted up some shots of your work, sure I have seen a prettier job, but everyone has to start somewhere, and this type of work would look to be really achievable for a beginner.

I think if you sat and looked at 9bells' work all day, your only ever going to be disappointed with yourself

Good job

 

dont care, go make your own post if you arent going to either A) say something constructive/positive or B) Somehow give the poster some sort of help in the form of technique or setup tips to his welding instrument that is different than yours.

You have been welding for about 3 weeks huh? awesome. How do you know your welds hold up? Hold up to what, at absolute most 3 weeks of some sort of use?

 

Couldn't agree more. Kettle calling the pot black...

As for my opinion, I think you are doing fine, especially on the stainless. No pedal is a handicap few have had to endure for very long, especially newcomers.
I'd like to tell you a few of the things I think you could try.
1. On the header, there are a few gaps that look like they could be addressed. I can't tell you how important fit-up is in finished weld and product quality. A decent belt sander is a real plus if you don't have one and could save up for one.
2. Always use the smallest filler rod possible. On the aluminum it looks as if you are having a bit of a hard time melting the filler into the seams. Without a pedal, at least start with a smaller filler, and if it gets real hot, as it will, turn the machine down 10 amps, then another 10,etc. If it seems too much, you could always go back to the larger filler once the part is smoking hot.

Keep practicing. That is the one sure thing that will improve your skills. Thanks for sharing your work.

 

Thanks guys for kind words and support..

Yes, I have gaps because I don`t have belt sander.. I cut pipes with angle grinder, but I`am trying to manage smaller gap as possible..

I buy a smaller filler rod for aluminum, but didn't try yet..

Smallest filler rod on SS and aluminum ?

What filler rod do you use for aluminum and SS ?

 

For what you are working with, you are doing great work. It's your own stuff and your not selling it so forget about what all these haters are saying. You needed something, so you made it yourself the best way you know how.

We all have to start somewhere. You gotta walk before you can run.

Keep up the good work!
