Re: Welding onto turbo exhaust housing.

What was wrong with my comment? Im from NewZealand if that comment was for me. I welded the nuts on after heating it up, i also folded up a sheet metal shield. Works a treat now.

if you can get ahold of a stick welder, that would be the best. Use nickel rod and pre heat it and that ---- won't ever break off!

Re: Welding onto turbo exhaust housing.

Plenty of nogs here have welded right to cast manifolds, usually the 96+ dx/lx mani to a T3 flange. I don't hear them breaking, and they are under lots of stress. 2 bolts that simply hold a heat sheild shouldn't be an issue. They will move nearly freely if the housing flexes/changes size any bit from heat.

btw this isn't on hooked-on-phonics's list of recommended websites, so there will be grammer & spelling errors. If we help ppl up to their standards, 99.91% of the retards that post here would be SOL. That reminds me, what happened to that guy who literally couldn't make complete sentances? The guy who's retardation made half his stuff guberish...? He was a "treat".
