So far I have seen zero holes, no inclusions or porosity. I'm pretty stoked. I figured there would be something after doing over a 3/4" build up.

nice work, do you get much gas holes in those welds?

Trusting the process of welding up and grinding back for the K24/ sportage hybrid intake manifold im making. Im not the best welder so finding zero porosity when grinding back was a huge relief.  Tomorrow I'll drill and tap the holes to mount the 72mm throttle body. Then I can gasket match and smooth the transition into the plenum.

You might want to make a scatter shield just in case. or get some sweet greaves and sabatons to ride in.

the motor rips really hard on the mini bike its awesome lol. it revs so high i keep thinking its going to blow up all over my legs

that's bad ass

Needed to add a 50amp RV plug to power my TIG. While i was at it i got rid of the horrible looking flex conduit to my A/C. I didn't realize the Hobart TIG i got was 50amp cause it had a 30amp plug on it i assumed it was 30. It welded 1/8th just fine while i was practicing but when i went to build up the throttle body mount it just stopped making puddles then popped the breaker after 3 seconds of full throttle. It took all damn day to put that stupid outlet in. 50% of that time was trying to get the 6awg back in the boxes, that shit does not like to bend.

The build up is slow going cause the #17 torch i have gets hot pretty fast. It should be built up and ready to machine by the end of the day.

yes he did, he doesn't post as much do to his work restrictions 

When I see mention of turboing a n/a 2J in a Lexus/Toyota, all I can think is Yuri turboing a IS300 super cheap.
And the mayhem that IS300 forum going nutz.   

Didn’t he had a hmt bmw too? I miss those HMT days on the old site😞.

Which trans?  Certainly some people over here can do the same but would something like this work?  https://www.autosportsengineering.com/products/autosports-engineering-2jzgte-2jz-1jz-2jzge-engine-to-350z-cd009-6-speed-transmission-adapter-package-2

Certainly cheaper than the bellhousing conversions I've seen but it would definitely take up more space.  I know I can get a custom driveshaft local for less than $650+whatever shipping is

Bought a “CD009” but it’s a CD008.

Man those kits starts adding up when you checkout. I just want this to be on the cheap for street car.

Cut/weld is really popular over the pond. A lot of drifters abuse the hell out of it.
