Having something welded Wig?

Re:Suggestions when looking for a person to weld shit for you.....
 

I saw some examples and they didnt look so bad....

I had my manifold and DP welded and the manifold isnt too bad. some weird double welds here and there which shouldnt be necessary if there was penetration but really what is nasty is the DP

The DP's welds look like hell. He did a 2.5" to 2.75" section but just butted the two pieces of pipe together and welded em together :-X. Put the wrong exhaust flange on. All in all im not really upset about it because i didnt pay alot of money at all for this stuff, its just annoying. the exhaust flange is a PITA though. i gotta get him to 2 day me a 3 bolt flange for free since he fucked up. I'm not going to announce his name, but if you are looking for a welder and you've spoken to a few guys, just pm me and ill tell you his name so you can atleast know someone who got stuff done by them.

Sorry to hear about the DP...No transition/adapter tubing in stock? Oh well. It's under the car.

B16Drag tip of the day...

"You get what you paid for..." :P

Re:Suggestions when looking for a person to weld shit for you.....
 

B16, you shouldnt be on this site if you think that. Basically everyone on this site pays a small amount of money for their turbo setup and gets results even though they spent a "small" amount of money. seriously that is just about the stupidest thing you could say on this site. go to honda-tech with that bullshit

Dont be flaming bignig. Thats a freaken truth of life. I mean sh!t whether you believe it or not its true. I'm not arguing with it.

HMT is what again? homemadeturbo.com hm... to me that means homemade turbo. No where in there does it say cheapturbokits.com... SHIET! I'm almost certain this site was setup to assist those who didnt want to shell out the fucken 3g to buy some stupid ass kit that they could put together themselves for half that price or want to learn more about the turbo kits themselves. There are somethings you can get away with on buying them cheap or from the junkyard and then there are some that you should probably buy it new or at least rebuilt. I know there are many users on here that like to piece the turbo kits from junkyard parts or used parts and thats fine, its their choice... I at one time was doing it myself, but just realized that I questioned the quality of some of the parts way too much and needed to ensure that it would work the first time and would actually last me more than 2 weeks in my car if I'm goign to spend the $2g that I already have. Does this make me not worthy on HMT? Just because Im willing to shell out the cash to buy the new or rebuilt parts? ---- you dont see me coming here going "Oh Man, i just spent $300 bux on a turbo... thats so damn expensive... what am I going to do about my unborn child!?!" We are a diverse group and we just need to respect each others comments and take them with a grain of salt. I made that comment before because its the truth...

Daily tip, if you are going to do it, do it right the first time... *She wont be back for seconds if you ---- up* hah!
;D

shop cleanliness. some1 who keeps their work space clean is more organized and takes more pride in their work..


not in ALL cases though. Beau's a slob. ;) jk

Re:Suggestions when looking for a person to weld shit for you.....
 

yea, i dont mind outing my welder now since he doesnt stand behind his work and correct his mistakes.

His name is Jason at CRP Manifolds in Tacoma, Washington. His name on H-T is HulkHB, and i think its the same on this site aswell.

He said because I paid $275 for a manifold and a DP the DP was free so he doesnt need to fix his mistakes?!? Anyway, i wouldnt suggest using him.

Re:Suggestions when looking for a person to weld shit for you.....
 

Are you serious you paid $275 for the manifold? Wow... I wanna see how good looking it is! =)
