internal weld of full race manifold
this is what the weld looks like from the *INSIDE* as well as out.
the background has been cleared out to protect our process. We are the only automotive company in the country from what my research shows that is employing this technology. just thought it was interesting since most havent seen what the inside of a good weld can look like.

hahahaha 
nah i am in the middle of an insurance battle over my crashed prelude. I know i will win the case, they are just being asses about the whole situation. Once im paid out in full, ill be getting one of those "big kits" err the one with the big turbo, yeah thats it
Props to u geoff, not only have u stood by ur product, ur customer service is a1.

That makes two
Although Im not sure what "technology" you are talking about Geoff, but this is a demo I did to post on the new site. In other words, backpurging and LOTS of controlled heat can do this. As well as good prep-work.
I think your guys' is a lil cleaner on the inside though!

argon...
my "process" is nothing too complicated. Actually, its VERY simple, good ol' hillbilly style! and no, Im not going to disclose it. Just backpurging

Did I read that right? "H" on the Table of Elements??

The Hindenberg also used hydrogen. I would be interested in the process of welding a pipe filled with hydrogen.

Re: internal weld of full race manifold (Finest)
The only way I can think that Hydrogen would work would be....this is a shot in the dark, beacuse Im not a chemist:
the backside of the weld "ignites" the hydrogen, so to speak. since there is no oxygen introduced to the inside of the pipe(both ends would have to be sealed off, along with 0 gaps), nothing explodes; the result is that the joint being welded is super-heated, making it "easier" for the bead to travel from the outside.
Geoff mentioned 33 seconds before I posted:
"doh! About 300 seconds here Geoff check your mail....", then edited his post to the Hydrogen comment.
THIS would enable a machine welder, because getting SOLID complete penetration w/a machine iwould now be solved(machine welding generally sucks, aka Meng/obx).
Im not sure how you could humanly weld around that, with full penetration, WITHOUT burning the **** out of the material in 33 seconds, so this makes sense to me, a simpleton...
again, this was a shot in the dark, my only chemistry experience was 11th grade Chemistry...
as for me, Ill keep the hydrogen elsewhere, too risky for me w/all the sparks flying in my shop

Re: internal weld of full race manifold (Tinker219)
Can't wait for my kit to get finished... so I can sit and look at the manifold for hours and hours... lube it up, **** it and go to vegas and marry it.
