Log mani (please help) and my new project
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 
So i had to use an extra little ring on one side. Thats when i deemed it a practice manifold 
sweet *** welding cart i made with the hf flux core
And my newest proj: I did a timing chain on a nissan 240, and got this truck
with this engine
4wd stick shift 22rte truck, ive wanted one for a long time. Engine needs a rebuild, so it will be awhile before i get it going.

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.

Re: Log mani (please help) and my new project
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?

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?
more than welcome, me and my buddie from highschool just got our own house.. so were livin' it up here. Its nice to do whatever the ---- you want. We have a dirtbike track in our backyard
