Looks like maybe you need a little more heat. Maybe try turning up the voltage or wire speed next time, and then weld in short bursts (more like "tacks") instead of longer beads to keep from getting too much heat in one spot. Flux core makes it harder to not punch through thin material though. Just means more grinding to clean it up.

well there's only a high, and low setting. lol. I never use the high setting haha. It's a harbor freight 90amp special
I have acces to a really nice mig, just am getting anxious to finish this thing up; so working with what I got!!
After about literally two hours of grinding, it looks a lot better! I'm tapping oil pan for return line tonight, and hopefully fire up to check for any oil leaks!!
Next is get wastegate flange welded up, throw on BOV, and injectors. then tune!
Wut size injectors? Maybe I can help, and what is ur hp goals again?
800cc or bigger
Got everything on. Dropped off my manifold to Pang from Pfabrications yesterday. Once I get it back it'll go on, and I'll have vids
You need to turn up you'r wire speed, clean it better, before you weld. If you burn through it on 2 high, back it off to 2 low and slow the wire speed down a bit.After about literally two hours of grinding, it looks a lot better!

The key is to have the piece and your sheild clean.

Yea wirespeed! It deff makes a difference, also if u don't have one GET an auto darkening. Makes everything 300x easier(I tried my hand at tig welding without an auto darkening mask. Lol it was terrible).
But 880s should be good right to 500 as long as the rest of ur fuel system is good.
If I can get the dam thing out of the body shop and on the dyno.. sure I'll wax you. lol!

Roll races ftw.
rolling starts ftw!!!! let's go from second
On a side note, I got my manifold back yesterday. Work looks superb, just as expected. got oil feed hooked up. Went to throw on return flange, and fucking bolts are too small. lovely. got that worked out. Turbo and oil lines are on. Oh! I also got radiator on. Went to throw on wastegate and the fucking huge thing hits the rad!!! fml
More work tomorrow. It's thirsty thursday
