Thats a really nice setup i like your o2 housing, I'm trying to tackel that too but i can't realt mock it on my dd :(
Get a engine stand and put a blown longblock on there, then gather all your spare DSMer parts, i.e., oil filter housing, turbos, o2 housings, exhaust manifolds, P/S pumps, and alternator and then fabricate away using that for a "jig". :sneaky:

:dsm:

Yeah today i was messing with my o2 housing and everything was good but i tacked it so the i side angle was too mucj and it warped bad, it was the only angle i could not do while it was bolted to the turbine housing. Now I'm all kinds of pissed off cause i keep making little screw ups that are costing me almost as much as a dnp t3 manifold. If i #### up again I'm gonna buy one and make a jig from that LOL. I think i also just bought the wrong merge collector. Needed the shorty.
 
I was doin decent until the corner where the fitup was a little more than 3"

It pissed me off, i also cooked my merge collector trying to fill in the undercut, contaminated all my tungsten rods on the damn o2 housing of shit vband flange warped shortly after pic was taken LOL I'm just fed up today.

Next time get the hammer out and size it to the flange.
 
This isn't a weld on my Laser but its my most recent one

A multi pass (X box), four sides total and four different rods (6010, 6011, 6013, 7018). Ran out of 6013 rods, that's why it's on the bottom ROFL

T joints using 7018, most are horizontal except the very top plate was done using flat position

How difficult would it be to make an exhaust manifold with a stick welder? i know its probably not recommended but thats all i have access to and i don't really care about it looking nice as long as it functions correctly.

It would look horrid, and probably suck nuts. Not sure how well that will work, i guess it depends on how good you are at stick welding, but usually exhaust manifold weld els are quite thinner than what you would wanna use on stick, ive seen it done. But usually everyone makes fun of it.

Haha i don't care if it looks horrid, if anything i can just take a grinder to it afterward and make it look seamless or would that make it to weak? It will be heat wrapped after anyway so thats why i don't care about the looks of it.

I only have a stick welder and i don't want to buy another welder to be used once.
 
You need smooth transitions and if your stick welds pertrude inside the pupe your effed. Like i said be good at stick and you MIGHT be okay.

This is someone on this forums work. Forget who but gives you an idea, however im not even positive this is stick, it could be mig.

I can guarantee if you buy a mig it won't be used just once. I don't think you can do well with stick at all. You won't be able to get into the tight spaces at all. I can score you a deal on a new mig if interested and it won't break the bank. Pm me if you want.
It starts with 1 part then another and another and then friends want stuff done.
 
Honestly, i wouldn't mind if the manifold came out like the one above. Im building a street car, not a show car:coy:. But a nice manifold would be, well, nice haha.

The thing is, guys, I'm limited to a 120 volt wall socket. i don't know anyone who has a 225 volt outlet so I'm limited to the type of welder i can use.

Another question though, my dad knows a welder (don't know how good he is because I've never seen him weld before) and my dad says he can weld stuff for me and i was thinking that if tack on the piping and all and take it to him to finish the welds, how much would it cost? I want to build a top mount for a rwd car if that helps.

Nothing wrong with a 120v machine for doing stainless work because stainless doesn't use many amps at all. You can get a tig machine that runs on 110v and do manifolds all day long. Same with a mig machine. Mig is what that manifold above was done out of.
 
I did not know that. So to get some welds like Kurt, urban smoker above, or some like pauls on the first page (after some practice of course), what kind of machine would you recommend?
