So I bought a welding positioner last week and it arrived on thursday. Bought this to speed up production of long parts and to also make higher quality one start/stop welding passes. Still need to dial in the speeds for certain OD parts, but its getting there. Here is a quick 304 stainless tial housing inlet flange welded to one of my rotated turbo 321 uppipe tubes. This was also back purged via purge adapter under the mounting surface that flows argon through it and into the part.

 

A side project Im working on his building a tubular manifold for the dodge cummins, this is about as far as I am with it. Need to order materials to start building it, but the fixture is all made and the flanges have arrived from getting laser cut.

 

riiiiight

 

could you make a custom set of up pipes for a 7.3 diesel? IH new design still sucks. id pay good money for a set of flanged pipes. ive got a turbonetics waiting to go on ,but not on these ****ty pipes.hell,ive got a extra set on a spare motor you could use as a template.

 

haha so you did at one time?

 

That was the joke

La FLama Blanca should be running today. So bump for more cool **** of all types and platforms!!

 

I might be going in on some shop space drop her off and in 5 yrs when i finally finish it you can have her back ! lol

On another note I think I may be getting into some GTR parts here soon.
