ever tried shouting through a muffler? its quite interesting.

custom stainless steel 3" mufflers built by ferrita sweden, first is 63cm, 2nd is 50cm.. should kill some noise!

wonder when my TIG showes up so I can get started..

 

looking good anders, you must be dyin to drive it. is that the V8 in there now.

 

sweet!! but I want more info on your project! update please

 

due to our norwegian rules etc I'm not posting anything on norwegian boards yet, I'll shoot you a PM.

awaiting headers, and TIG welder now, I have most other parts done.

 

you think?!

yes engine and entire driveline is in.

 

guess who just got an AC/DC TIG welder dropped off by DHL... now time to start learning, I know mig, gas and electrode.

 

if you can do gas you'll pick it up in no time ..
I'm a big believer in those offset style mufflers like the rear one

 

tig welding rules! used 1 bottle of gas so far learning tig, did a lot of stainless and alu this weekend, got more pipes today, headers should arrive tomorrow! wont weld until everything has been testfit. new bottle now so more fun!











hopeing I have enought grond clearance, what do you think?

 

Just a little ot.
When you guys do any TIG welding on anything that you can't get to the back side of,purge the back side with argon to eliminate oxidation of your welds. Do this by sealing all holes with tape, punch a pen size hole in one end and purge from the other end. Use about 10lb of purge pressure ,make sure that you don't have a build up of pressure,if you do, your vent isn't large enough. You just want an even flow of argon on the back side of your welds.
Only posting this because I see quit a few guys starting to TIG weld.
Enjoy !

 

yeah ive been thinking about useing backgas, but my reg only has a single output, need a splitter or similar, dont think its needed for just exhaust though? If I did headers I would do it for sure.

thanks for the writeup though

 

started welding, headers came without opposing flange... living in norway that kinda sucks guess its my fault for not asking htough, ohh well orderd something I think will fit, waterjetting something or cutting is an option, but I'll probably just weld v-band to it then if it doesn't fit.

sooo could only weld some small stuff and do other small mods as I need to pull engine to put headers in, and im not doing that until Im sure I dont need to resurface or weld on them again

end is 90x120mm oval

 

Looks good but I'd turn down the heat a bit.

 

Hi DDP, you are right, I did towards the end only slightly and was nice

i've done all other sorts of welding before, but I just LOVE doing TIG

 

Yeah, I've only done TIG. I may have MIG'd once or twice but that always ended ugly so I didn't waste my time. TIG'ing is the only way to go in my opinion for car related activities. It's addicting really.

 

any tips for wanting-to-learn TIGers?
