Log mani (please help) and my new project
 
8 Attachment(s)
i finally got a digi cam, so i can finally post some pics of my projects. I had a d series head flange laying around for the longest time, i thought i could weld good enough to put it together... but im having a little trouble. I cant weld inbetween the runners, its too tight for my lift arc torch to get into. I was also a little fucked up when i was cutting the elbows and cut the same one twice :X So i had to use an extra little ring on one side. Thats when i deemed it a practice manifold :3

that truck never came turbo. either your pile of ---- in the garage is spare, or you've yet to put it on. cant be ------ boosted witout a turbo..

$190 and ill weld you up a log for that truck, but then again, you have a welder. get your head flange from LCE, with 1 5/8 ports.

Pull the tungsten out and turn up the gas. Maybe try a small cup too to get in there closer.

the truck didnt come turbo, but it came with a beat 22rte engine, ecu, harness, and everything that bolts to the engine. Just needs a rebuild. yeah, ill be welding up my own mani for that thing.


the log- i used a #5 cup and with the tungsten out like 1" with 30cfh of gas... It helped get most of the way around, but there are still spots that i cant reach/see what im welding. Maybe im in the wrong position? It didnt weld very good at all with these settings, it was burning the tungsten pretty bad. Thats what the reddish orange ---- is right?

There is your problem. Get a 6 or 8 cup and push the tungsten in about 3/4"
Or better yet get a gas lens, it will let you pull the tungsten out a bit farther, but and inch is still pushing it.

i have an 8, its kinda hard to get in there with that. I also ordered a gas lens, but i think i got the wrong one for my torch.. i cant seem to figure out how it works. Theres a glass cup or something that goes on the end of that brass threaded fitting with the screen in the end?
