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.

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.    |

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. 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 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. |

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 |
