I just got finished reading through all 50 pages of this thread, and I must say, I am amazed at the caliber or the work here. I have fabbed up a few things, but not very exciting like the stuff in here lol. I've made a couple strut braces, and mved my ebrake to the passenger side. Blu where is your shop? I'd love to get you to do a cage in my s14.

He's in San Jose,CA. Or somewhere around there.

Thanks boss.
Quite a nice compliment coming from you.
I figured it was time for some shamelss whoring :D

awesome paint
 

hey dude I admire your project,especially your paint job. Tell us something about it, what's the colour code and other details. Cheers

I made a gauge cluster and Im almost done with the car:

A rocker hopped off and then let the valve free and it had some fun in the combustion chamber so im throwing a stocker back in Ill post up better detailed pics of everything later

Haven't posted in here for a while so I thought I'd post an SR manifold I recently finished. Its a dual plenum design common in WRC/LMP turbo motors.

and I finially finished my new chassis harness. Engine harness is next but should take about 1/3 the time to complete.

damn.. thats all i can say.

You still use the IACV, interesting.

I don't, but the customer who this is for does:)

Bill Washburn for president.

That intake mani is awesome ! Great job !

I wish mine is gonna be as great as this.

Sexy SEXY intake mani Bill.

I <3 welding 1/8" after welding all that .018" galvanized and stock sheetmetal last week for my tubs... laid down some sweet beads (my best/most consistent ever lol), using my Hobart 135/.030" wire/no gas (still havent bought it). These are for Camilleon's deadbolts in her 510, btw.

Clean welds on the first pic but splatter is "ewww" lol I hate flux core to.

Yeah, it files right off, but I feel like such a bum for not spending the ~$90 or so on a bottle every time I see it... I've got a Miller regulator (and I use a Miller MIG gun), just need to man up and stop by Airgas.

That is a crazy lookin intake manifold.

I can give you a few reason why you should stick with flux core and get a bottle of CO2... Yes a bottle of CO2 on flux core.

If anyone here has ever done some heavy construction (IE. Construction cranes). They will tell you flux core is far superior to MIG... Just a thought...

If I had it my way. MIG would not exsist. It looks like crap and has shitty penetration... FC and metal core all the way! (For wire feed anyways)

Born2boost what are those black boxes labeled like ECU, injector ETC????

Driftstyre GOOD GAWD Amazing! After seeing your wiring i think i might try and steal some Mil spec connectors from work.... :)

I assume the CO2 will shield the splatter from the flux core? This is very interesting I might have to do this. I've got some CO2 tanks from when I used to paintball, I might have to give this a try.

Duffman:
No there will still be spatter. The CO2 is used for penetration and cleanliness of the weld.
Note that you will also need the correct flux cored wire to be used with CO2.

Next to TIG. This method of flux core and Metal Core produce the cleanest looking welds that I've come across.

Yeah the stuff I was looking at was 30% argon 70% CO2 for the flux core wire I'm using. I used that same setup on a Miller MIG at the Tech Day here and it was awesome.

Fundamentally, what's the difference between MIG and Flux Core welding?

they are relays we got rid of all the stock wiring

I've always used straight CO2 (100%) when using this method of flux core.

The differences:

MIG, you push the wire
FC, you PULL the wire

MIG, doesn't need cleaning to restart weld
FC, must be cleaned very well before welding.

MIG has no slag
FC has layer of slag, which need s to be cleaned off.

MIG least penetration of all weld types
FC one of the highest penetration of all weld types

MIG harder to weld with
FC very easy to weld with

MIG hard to get appealing appearance
FC, very easy to acheive a asthetically appealy weld...

I could go on...

There are obviously a few PROS to MIG but the PROS of a properly set up FC just doesn't compare.

I think you are speeking of dual sheild.
here is the page from Lincoln Electric describing the wire and uses.

^Yes, I am refering to a dual sheild set-up... Best wire feed set up in my opinion.

Please do go on, I'd like to hear how the same machine is inferior to itself when using different filler material, I'm simply curious since I've never heard this before.

It is not a matter of the machine being inferior to itself, it is a matter of using the right filler for the job.
I only use dual sheild on very heavy/ super high strength applications.
Atutt is right in the fact that the welds are super high penatration, and look awesome after you clean off the slag...but since they are so high heat and penatration it has a tendency to cause a lot of heat distortion, so dual sheild is not for all applacations in my opinion.

Ah, now I understand

So I would assume because of the higher heat with using dual shielded, that it would not be good to use on sheet metal for cars?

is that Simba's manifold? i saw some pics when you first started making it. looks good. any idea on HP/TQ increase?
