Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold
yep if you weld anything onto the cast, the hea expansion is different, so itll just crack and fall off :D
get a log |
Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold
ive welded cast to steel many times with no problems...with a 110v lincoln welder. Both of the manifolds ive used had cast flanges welded to them, since i was too cheap to go out and buy them, so i cut them off stock manifolds.

Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold
same here, i have welded steal to cast many times, never ever had a problem with it cracking or anything
for example the o2 housing off of my saab t3 was cast, i welded steal onto that (the rest of my exhaust) and bottomed it out hard core many time and it just flattened the downpipe, didint crack the welds. |
Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold
how long did you use it?

Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold
i have never had any of my welds break when i weld to cast. same with me, i bottomed my dp fierce a couple of times and never a break
im a champion |

I feel like emailing those people that got suckered into leaving positive feedback for him and telling them how to leave "follow-up feedback". They can give a follow -up report on how shitty the manifold is.
