that was some of the worst welding i have ever seen.


i reckon it works though shouldnt leak now.

 

what'd the mani cost? you can pm me, just wondering if mine are competitive...

 

oh hmm why was it so bad? the penetration or what? I didn't think it was to sloppy.. thanks for fixing it though! I am def. gonna brace it just to make sure it doesnt crack..

Marshall, it cost me $180 shipped.. it was pretty much the only choice I had unless I wanted to buy a cast manifold for $350+, or an SSautochrome manifold for a 4g63, then redrill it..

o well :shrug:

 

it had about 30 bucks in materials, Marshall. two 90's, 6" of straight, turbo flange, wastegate flange, and exhaust man. flange. and it looked like a drunk man welded it.


(done with a 110 wire feed welder, more then likely using flux core wire. too low power, or too high wire feed rate. it had a little more arch to it then i would like. compare what i touched up with what was done, and you will see what i am talking about. i had the amperage too low, but it was better then the other)

 

gasless mig! yikes!

 

so do you think it will hold up or what?

 

yeah, it'll work fine. just aint purdy.
