Renr's Fluxcore welded Downpipe. PICS
well, after renr got screwed in the classifieds on a .63 turbine housing, i gave him my nissan for free. so we swapped his volvo .48 out, ported his adapter plate, made a new downpipe, redid his charge piping, and welded the bov to a new location.
the harborfreight dual mig has been great. it has done julio's dp and charge piping, and also my current dp. http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/9...00099bq.th.jpgrenr making a mess http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/3...00107cj.th.jpgold and new. no, i didnt make the old one. http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7...00110fu.th.jpgnissan factory dp flange cut off and small plate added. http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/8...00127em.th.jpglooks good inside http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7...00130uf.th.jpg http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7...00140hb.th.jpgold and new. smooooth http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/6...00150di.th.jpgu cant see, but the old one has a crushed bottom. :-\ http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/8...00167kl.th.jpgmy new 90 Si, price=free! http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/2...00170yl.th.jpgmy old 87, recently cleaned up and running. http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7...00181ye.th.jpgfresh coat of hi-temp paint. http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/9...00198cl.th.jpgme missing a pin hole. http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/6...00200js.th.jpg need pics of the new charge piping and complete setup. |

Re: Renr's Fluxcore welded Downpipe. PICS
thanks mike for all the help. it was definately worth it. with the bigger housing the car feels more n/a in daily drving and rips under boost. the transition is very smooth. ill get pics of the complete setup with the new charge piping too.

the current one they offer which is similiar is the dual mig 151 for $199. they can be converted to mig w/ gas if you get a regulator, tank, spool and change a few things under the cover. it is surprisingly powerful. i use the second setting for exhaust and charge piping because the higher settings burn through the metal. |

Re: Renr's Fluxcore welded Downpipe. PICS
Those welds look pretty good for HF flux. My HF flux will pull off a few good welds like that till the contact tip wears out. For some reason they wear out quickly on mine.
