My name is Byron.
Well its rainng outside and I got bored. I had a T25 turbo flange and an old ebay header laying around so I decided to see if I could build my own log style manifold out of it. Im just using a regular MIG welder so it might be a little tricky, but its looking good so far.

Hey now, a big :thumbsup: to you for actually going for it, Byron. I give you props for being able to do it yourself and hope it works out. I'm in for the progress.
 
I scraped it. I cant butt-weld stainless with a MIG.:( No big deal though, I might try to make another one out of mild steel so it will be easier to weld.
 
At least you attempted it. I commend you. :thumbsup:

Tricky, but can be done. I usually maintain the normal feed rate but lower the amperage.
 
Well, it takes a lot of practice man. Welding is a real pain in the ass sometimes. There is a point where you don't get penetration so you kind of have to be really careful with that amperage. I usually grab a couple scrap pieces of steel and get it set before I move straight to the final product. What kind of welder are you using (obviously a MIG, specifics)?

I hate it when I don't get any penetration. It feels like it's been forever since I...oh wait, we're talking about welding. :doh:
 
I just picked up the welder one day and taught myself, its not that hard once you learn, (which Im still doing)
 
LMFAO Luis had a recent penetration fail :ph34r:

haha....I'd take a near miss nowadays. It's been a while. :eek:

Hey Byron, do you think there might be a chance you may attempt the manifold again?
