under further inspection of the sr20 manifold pictured above i have come to realize that the 2nd and 4th flanges have been cut off and flipped and re welded. interesting time to learn how to weld cast ---

Like the other guys said sorta, if you’re gonna weld cast, heat the fuck out of it first, use a torch, or whatever, but make it super hot, and grind your joint on an angle to gain more penetration - more to do with thickness than the fact that it’s cast… (so basically, when the two pieces are together and you’re about to weld, you’re welding into a groove / like that instead of a flat joint like \_\_ \_\_ \<-that). And if Sasha has a good, heavy tig welder, you should be able to use that with great results. ---

you need to use special “Ni” rod to weld cast iron. It is welding rod with a high nickel content… put the rod in the oven for a while too… actually, put the whole mani and flanges in the oven and heat it all up like Adam H did with his turbo and manifold. I don’t know, maybe 400deg. or so. But yeh, do the / thing too… much more joint to weld contact. ---

Wow, how’d you score that?? That must not have been in your 200-400 price range, seeing as you can get that much for the oem areo alone, lol. If it was, man that was an awsome find. either way still looks like you found a solid car for your project. Anyways looking forward to seeing updates, Good luck. ---
