4g64t

im looking for something simple right now... i live in an apartment so i need something i can work on the patio with just to do intercooler piping, maybe a log manifold here and there, and exhaust piping.

in the product specs it says flux/mig so im guessing it has a gas hookup so that would be cool later on

is this welder ok or is there another one that might be better/cheaper?

That's a good little machine. Great for what you want to do.

most apt's only have 15amp fuse's so Id check that out first because u might not be able to run a welder there

SpankedYA!

That machine will be fine on 15 amps.

Toysrme

I've used one afew times. You'll be fine.

im gonna ask about the power in the apt then if its ok i'll pick the welder up on my way home... andthing else i should get besides a mask and somemore wire so i can start learning... i read on here that its possible to use foil around the pipes to protect them from splatter so i dont have to use the anti splatter spray/gel, is that true?

do you guys have any tips for me to get started the first thing i want is to redue my exhaust setup

some leather gloves and a chippinghammer

That's similar to the one Austin and I use, except he has the Hobart 135 and we use gas. Works real well though. It's what he used for his ramhorn manifold.

BTW, are you making something for a 4g64??

get some mig pliers too, they look like needle nose pliers. and some clams, vice grips ect.

ju-on i have a turbo 4g64 in my 01 galant and i want to redue the setup but i dont want to pay somebody to do it lol right now im just using a evo 3 manifold but i want to make a log or something tubular and redue my exhaust piping

jcushing what are the mig pliers for? i have the adjustable clamps there a pretty big i guess there used for wood but the stretch out to about 3 feet then i have some smaller ones but i do need to buy a vise... thanks for that man

tauws- i'll have to to get those gloves all i have now are some mechanics gloves but i dont thing those are thick enough... is the hammer for the splatter when using flux?
