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?

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

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!

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

It works man >:(
K03??? hahahahahaha Are you serious??
I won't hit 200hp with that.
I'm using the Toyota CT20 for now. and will be trying the K26 later on when I'm done putting it together.
I need my injectors 8)

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

Pimp dude. Looks good. Wish I knew how to weld. ::)

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

Lol
It's easy.
You got to practice that's all the first weld will be shitty though.

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

looks like a fine tubular manifold

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

"Lookin' good, gurl." ;)

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

hahaha lol.
I wish my gurl could weld it for me..that would be awesome.
gf: "Honey I'm done welding your manifold. Can i weld your exhaust, downpipe and charge pipes now???"

Ahhh Heaven ... I wish

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

During my install heres my girlfriend "Let me check that oil drain out." lol. Its great. ;D

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)
 

hahaha lol. Where did you get her? :o

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto *pics*)

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto)

Re:My HMT Manifold (Ghetto *pics*)
