Looks better in person! Great job brother!!!
Thanks dude! Glad i could help!!
really pretty work. Pretty part also.
@@softiss ya he did great work on it to get everything as snug as possible and have stop points!
@@5thStreetFab super shalom 😇
shut up idiotr mep o
New setup!? Awesome dude!
Ya dude! Thanks man it is insane!!
In the Marine Corp we have this saying "adapt and overcome" and you did just that by bending the tungsten, great job 👍
How do you like that invertig 400?!?
Its crazy! I cant believe i 350 amps at my house!
@@5thStreetFab wow, I'm just scraping up to get the 221
Great skills man. I wish I could do this kind of work with my powertig at home.
Excellent job! Can't say that I've ever seen anyone else bend a tungsten; those inside welds would have been tough. I'm a big fan of 4943 as well; it's rare that I use 4043 these days.
Nobody noticed 2 injectors per runner LOL. Boosted methanol ftw
This man is a true weld genius! Great job.
Brodex head are made of 356 alloy and are welded with 5356 so that information is not correct
I was looking at that intake thinking, that shit looks hard. All those tight angles around the injectors.
Looks nice, yup hard place to get into but creative bend to the tung did it.
thank yoyu edyucatuiob vui=dei fir ne

Do you build custom intakes manifolds?
Where did you get these nice tapered runners?
That is the first job you have done I don't envy you for I would have passed on that one. Great job. This is what separates the men from the boys.
I love the tungsten trick I've never seen that before. I think that a lone is worth a video.
Haha i had a blast welding it! Got me scratchin my head a few times! Thanks for the ide bud!
Hey what the name of that Hobart app bud? Me and Jeff Noland been talking, he offered a Invertig 400 demo like $500 off, but I had my sights set on the 313 cuz I've only got 1 phase power. 50 more amps for $500 more. I was thinking helium would take the 313 as far as I would need it to go(on 1/2"-1" plate) and those repairs/builds havent been common. How often would u say u actually floor the pedal at 350amps? lol seems like that would be tough on even my sw320 torch. Anyway, been contemplating this rather large investment this week. Didnt know if u had any feedback, thanks Max!
I always wish i had more amps at work! If youre planning on welding anything over 3/8 often, id get the 400. The way i look at it is 500 more bucks will only buy me 1 and a half bottles of uhp helium. Just my personal opinion
@@5thStreetFab yup lol my sentiments exactly. Already got the quote ready, prolly pulling the trigger by end of the week. Ohh baby, gna be nice :) thanks bud!
No problem amd the app is just called hobart brothers welding calculator
Hi...cute sister..you help your father..reAlly🤟🤟🤟
Dude! Sweet 400!! Ughh, someday! I decided with a Dynasty 280, a 400 wouldnt be necessary until parts like that one(1/2"+ fillets continually) start coming my way. Otherwise the $5500 or whatever would be harder to justify than just gettin more fab tools(knotchers, benders, saws, cnc plasma/laser) idk. The type of work ide like(thick aluminum) , is not the type of work steady available around here. :/ anyway badass setup
I know what you mean man! I have a bottle or helium on hand for that 280!
And yet u still mention helium? Lol see that's what I decided would be more useful. Oxy-fuel torch + 280amps + stargon or helium bottle = one mean ally setup. 🤷♂️😁 for now makes sense
Cant go wrong with that setup bud!
I enjoy your videos, you do great work
Thanks bud!

Something I do when I have get in between things, and I’ve never done one of what you just did, but I’ll take some aluminum foil and stuff the crack on the back side and try to fill that entire cavity up with argon. It seems to help.
Ya man thats a great trick! I used it for a minute but couldnt see what i was doing so i scrapped that idea haha
Ok about the ratings about streght, temperature and so on, but man, it's just an intake manifold, very low pressure: 4043 is all that you need.
I used to weld aluminum radiators and oil coolers, many were tested up to 60 bars (roughly 870 psi) and the only kind of filler avaible in the whole factory were 3.2 mm (1/8) 4043 aluminum rods.
So it's nice that you think about what you need to use and so on, but I think this is not 1 of the cases in wich this is required, just an opinion from a collegue from oversea.
Great point! I was basically just saying using 5000 series vs 4000 series. I use 4943 because i get it at a discount at work and like the way it welds more than 4043. Otherwise i would have used 4043
@@5thStreetFab i didn't understand u'd go for another alsi rod👍🏻
I just wanted to say that almg is more expensive, also as you said it may suffer from crack issues (after all it's harder).
4000 series is what fits better in theese kind of job IMO, I said 4043 cause generally is cheaper and everybody is used to it, but if you prefer another 4000 series rod, wich is also cheaper for you, then u're 100% right going for it👍🏻
Grind that place and try with long nozzles...also because this is delicate welding you can weld parallel two sheets of aluminum with same distance and try there to weld for training and set up position, hand etc.
Thats what i used on the first one. But it didnt work because of the angle.
When you use a bended Tungsten electrode, it would be good to either flood the area with shielding gas (somebody below already mentioned that). Why not modifying the gas lense by bending it too, so that it "follows" the Tungsten electrode and guides the gas stream ? :) Great content, thanks. Stefan
That sounds awesome! I might have to try that!
You weld perfectly 👍 , love from india
I can’t even look at this; it’s too intimidating. Like a Bic lighter looking at a laser.
Haha dont worry its not intimidatimg once you start!
Great to see you again 5th Street Fab- always a treat to have you share some of your amazing Tig knowledge. 🇿🇦
Thanks Bud!
Nice work ! LARRY MOORE
Trick idea bending the tungsten!
Well done! Heck of a challenge
excellent as always!
Always a joy to watch , I was expecting you to clamp it to the table though .
Thanks for watching!
Do you have a link to that app? I can't seem to find it.
I just put a link to it in the description for you! Thanks bud
@@5thStreetFab Awesome, thanks much!
Yeah, I was wondering how easy it was going to be to get in between those flutes. Looked like a chore all around. Great work bro!!
Thanks bud! I appreciate it
Yeah, what you said!! Well done.
nice work Max. do NOT look fun lol.
Thanks Mike! I've got that new banner going up as soon as i actually move in!
@@5thStreetFab you moving Hommie?
@@MonkeyFabGarage ya man we bought a new house a while back and been workin on it like crazy ever since! Thats why i havent pit many videos up lately
@@5thStreetFab congratulations sir!!!
@@MonkeyFabGarage Thanks Mike! I really appreciate it bud!
Looks awesome.
What is the best way to bend tungsten? I would like to try that.
Hold it with some pliers where you need it bent, then heat it up with a brunsen burner until its cherry red, then bend it to the angle you need! Make sure its sharp before you bend it!
@@5thStreetFab Thank you for the quick respond.
Bravo vrhunski rad
You have skills my man good job
Thanks bud!
Hope you get the flanges surfaced after all the welding it will warp up
Yep the guy i welded it for is a machinist
@@5thStreetFab I've been trying to find aluminum intake flanges for a sbc and stainless header flanges for a sbc but cant find any
@@TheMoody876 i have no clue who makes them but man youd think theyd be everywhere for a sbc?
@@5thStreetFab you would think
Nice work with your family!!!
Thanks bud!
What was the name of the app you used?
Hobart weld app
@@5thStreetFab thank you
between the cups wouldn't it be better to use the wp24 body?
If it fit it would be awesome. But i think they're only rated for 150 amps? And i was running 350 amps
@@5thStreetFab yes 150-160. I thought so too, but 350 Amp all the time or on the pedal?
@@ukaszmisztal2044 350 on the flanges and much less on the bungs
@@5thStreetFab could you please tell what frequency you are using for thick aluminum?
