Did you make it? As long as it works and doesn't crack then that's all that matters.

yeah i made it.
I hate welding with an arc welder, but it does the job if you don't have anything else

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

I know that feeling.

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

Cool and I hate arc as well. When I did do it the rod would always get stuck then catch ablaze as I smoke myself out of my welding cubiclue.... I hate it

MIG is better :)

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

Looks good man :)

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

---- yeah, it looks good, that gives me hope b/c i have a 110 mig that i'm gonna be using for mani's ;D

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

Well Sem, we don't know yet if it works,... :P

Now hurry and stick that turbo biatch on your engine.

You are not going to use that K03 right?

If I hadn't sprayed it you would see the mess lol.
Some welds came out really good espacially the weld made on the bends, but the welds to the header flange was a mess...I think the flange was galvanised :(

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

it always makes me laugh when local kids compliment my welds on my intercooler piping. when really they're total ---- and I'm embarassed to open the hood sometimes :)

it looks good enough tho, and long as it doesnt crack.. who cares right? welding is an art and only gets better with practice. I've seen a lot of nice pieces done via arc. My father is a ridiculously fine welder and one thing I've learned is: never blame the equipment 99% of the time. he came over to my house once and used my shitbox Campbell Housfield 110v and turned out a fine new steel front gate for my house with it... I couldnt believe my welder did it!
