Thread: What did you weld today?

Rough draft, as i did not have any dimensions to based the design on. If i can get my hands on the exhaust flange then i can really work on it and do some flow simulations of the runners....

here is a few of mine and my wife's first welds .....welded some elbows and fittings I had around ...

Anyone ever tried this?? It's a lot harder than it looks!

Nice! I use solidworks myself for digital fabrication and design tweaks. Here's a model of a recent T25 "shorty" collector made from 1.25 schedule 40 w/ a 15° convergence angle I made for a friend of mine


Very nice work in here too

finally finished, broken in, ready to tune, added coolant surge tank, originally had done parallel extension on 1.25" piping, looked ooooglie, made top just below radiator cap, and created channel inside on top to guide coolant and push air out. Will do a fitting with bent hardline to radiator. Coolant bled ok, even without lifting nose up.

Very nice, i like solidworks....very user friendly

Would you have the model or drawing for the SR20 exhaust manifold flange?

ive been planning on making my own manifold and been looking on ebay for tubing, what the best size and type of piping to use? i have a tubing guy that brings in my piping for exhaust at my job and i see him once a month and im going to ask him next time i see him to see if he can get me any, any input is highly appreciated. also going to most likely be using a miller mig welder. thanks
