Your most recent welding pics

its going in an all out drag car..... if need be they are ready to run a half rad, notch the rad support to push it forward and they are not running the alternator in the stock location its going down where the car a/c comp would go. worst case scenario.... hood exit exhaust and dp.

Whats the reasoning behind the turbo facing towards the firewall?

Whats the reasoning behind the turbo facing towards the firewall?

its in a sentra and sits horizontally in the engine so the compressor faces the drivers side and the exhaust faces the passengers side. heres another spec i built and boosted for reference......

Ya you posted those earlier in the thread,
Looks good though.

 

[ed1380]

I must have missed it. So damn purty!!


I'm curious about how you weld the deep part on top of the collector. Do you really extend the tungsten a couple inches?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Gas lens allows you to do that. So yes.

i use extra long cups actually..... and yeah i know i posted those pics earlier but i was pretty sure ed had not seen them based on the question he asked.

[Archer Fabrications]

Mike what size and type of tungsten and filler you use? Are your manifolds 304 or 316?

 

[jjrock5]

I sense some jealousy...

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Shutup! ...... True enough

 

[Bud92gsx]

That is one sexy collector

 

[all_motor_mike]

ceriated, thoriated, lanthinated..... whatever i have at the time and the manis are 304.


mike

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Try 316 filler on the 304 parent metal.

I dont use the radioactive stuff but ive got lanth and ceriated in my box.
