    Still getting the hang of it. With only 2 bottles of argon under my belt so far, I still have a long way to go!3-4" concentric adapter for an R33 GTR exhaust I am doing for a friend. The mid pipe got damaged and the axle back is already 4" so we just said to hell with it and am doing 4" from...

    finally bought some more argon and had some time away from work to practice my aluminum some more. Longevity 200sx 3/32nd gold tungsten 15cfh on the argonI was grinding the tungsten with too much of a taper so once I read a little more and reground it things started looking much better...

    Budget welders

    have a refurbished Licoln 125 weld pak hd mig that's about 6 years old and is going strong.I bought a longevity 200sx tig welder last year and I have had zero complaints. It's welded everything I have needed it to.

    N/T clutch upgrade?

    Southbend has some very reasonably priced options as well.Racing Clutches by DXD RacingThe same clutch is used for the 1.8L mirage if that helps.I'll be getting a solid hub TZ disc & pressure plate from them for $295 in a bit.

    it wasn't that bad actually. I think the WP9 torch I was using was just about at it's limit in some area's.By no means are the welds a stack of dimes or any such luck lolthe hardest parts were between the runners. I kept contaminating the tungsten with my super steady hands :(

    I'll get some closeup's tomorrow but I cut up my stock 4G92 Mivec intake manifold and an CTR one and welded the CTR plenum/runners to the 4G92 flange.The port spacing is a few mm off but I have built up weld in the required areas and will sort that out with some sanding drums:thumb...

    aftermarket rocker arms?

    if you can get them, the evo 8 rocker arms are 3.7 grams lighter than the DSM ones. It's not much but every little bit helps!http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/cylinder-head-short-block/393646-evo3-evo8-valvetrain-weight-comparison-inside.html#post152478570

    for a hobbyist you really can't beat longevity. I have had my 200sx machine now for about 4-5 months. Granted I haven't even burned through a full tank of argon yet. From my amateur experience, one you get the upgraded wp9 torch it's an awesome machine. I've done mild, stainless and...

    I know this is going to come off as a retarded question as I realize full well this is a drag kit and you guys aren't exactly autocross oriented.I have a 94 Mirage hatch that I daily and use for autocross. There are NO kits for the DSM's that fit under 15's that are NOT drag oriented (that...

    I don't have any experience on a circuit so I can't speak to that. I didn't realize you would be trimming it down and such. Hope it works out for you the way you want!

    Lets talk Difs.

    Ok i get what you are saying. I will throw it in next weekend and see how it behaves.I don't think swapping the cross shaft around will make it a 1.5 way, i see what you are getting at but it looks like it might put too much wear on the cross shaft on deccel and the cam on accel. The cams...

    wilwood brake setup

    not ideal but13" = 330mm 12.8" = 325mmIf the calipers are radial mounted, you could just use their 12.8" rotors and have the brackets milled down 2.5mm?You will probably have to change calipers and possibly brackets to fit a thicker rotor

    Running without ABS, convince me that is superior please.

    I autocross every month and have been doing so for at least 5 years, I am not a novice but I am no professional race car driver.ABS could have saved me from pit manuvering a van last month. Locked up the front brakes and before I could think of backing off the pedal to reapply, I was to...

    thanks for the tips guys. I will keep on plugging away.Nice to know i should be able to turn down the argon which will save some money.I just picked up a 4-1 header with a dent in one of the primaries that i will repair. I also need to swap the head flange on it to work with my motor.

    Let me clarify. The scatter shield being so close to the compressor inlet. Easiest way out I see is a 45* bend welded directly to the inlet

    LOL! Everything I have been reading in regards to the inverter machines points to 2% lanthanated being the go to tungsten for all around use. That's why I chose that in particular.We will see I guess!
  33. Sirnixalot

    Your most recent welding pics

    At my level I doubt I will even be able to tell the difference but, I wasn't able to get the 2% lanthanated in 3/32nd so I just got 1.5%.

    It's for the 9 series. I prefer to learn with something that allows for a little more dexterity. If i need to weld something thicker than what the 9 can handle I still have the stock torch :)I placed an order for that, a gas lens kit, 2% lanthanated 1/16, some 1/16 collets, 1lb 308, 5lbs...

    i got "one of the last" flanges Road race engineering had last year. I am not sure if they are producing more etc. its 1/2" mild steel.Ovaling those weld els = heat and a bfhIf possible spend the $60-70 on an SLS flange from STM and save yourself the headache.

    you are a brave man welding that thing up without it not being tacked and assembled (in my amateur opinion)ps looking at the head flange you have (i thought it was one that was premachined to fit up to the round pipe/bends) you are going to need to heat those weld els up and use a decent bench...
