Beautiful work, thats exactly what im starting up to do right now.

for that close up of the stainless. Are you using pulse or anything? And what thickness of material is it and what sort of settings do you normally use for that kind of job, looks amazing.

Pic #1:

.065 wall cap welded on to 2.5" diameter .065 tubing. The key there is to have the cap set back from the tip of the tubing. If it was flush on the outside, it would not look as good. #12 cup, 3/16" 2% tungsten, no pulse, just foot pedal and no filler rod. Amperage is at about 40A, and moving rather quick.

Pic #2:

Same thing as on the cap. The -6an fitting is mild steel, .045 filler rod, 55A foot pedal, no pulse.

Pic#7:

This was a but weld. .065" 3" diameter 304SS tubing. Sames torch setup as before, 60-65A, 1/16" filler rod, also foot pedal only and moving at a decent pace.

Is it really 3/16? That is huge. Biggest I have is 3/32. We've had bigger at work, but that is for very high current uses.

Look pretty nice. Are you concerned at all that the exhaust will heat the trans too much sitting like that?

A few more of the first manifold completed. Still need to do the wastegate plumbing, but that comes on later:

what kind of tubing are you using?

The RX7 turbo manifolds are 304SS, .065 wall. For the most part this is what I use for exhaust systems, and it is the industry standard.

Thanks for the compliments. It has taken a bit of time to get where I am at as far as weld qulity. In the end, practice practice practice. The key to all the colors are tig lenses. On the left tig lense/cup on the right regular setup:

The better your gas shild is the nicer the weld/colors.

Ya i figured 304 but sometimes for higher heat applications like manifolds like that 321 can be used

that is some great work. thank you for sharing. I was hoping to do the same thing. I am glad to hear that self taught or YouTube taught is a possibility. I already mig but I want to be able to bang out some of the clean pretty wilds that seem to only be available with a TIG welder...

Got these done tonight:



Now I just have to set up the back purge and weld it all up. In case you guys don't know what it is....they are RX7 turbo manifolds.

600 whp on pump is pretty nice.

We can get big power out of the bikes, but nothing like that on pump.

Displacement is much different also. The key to this is large T4 housings. I am the only person that makes a single turbo kit for a 350z with a true T4 flange, and use only T4 turbos. For the most part Precision 6266's and 6766's. I am currently working on a custom kit which will use a 76mm Precision turbo. This person will make 700whp on pump, and with C16 probably close to 900whp.

Should be able to run low 9's, as it has been done with this size of a turbo.
