Making a Y Pipe for a T6 Turbo Downpipe

[@ronbelldvm]

I know it's been a while since this video was posted, but it's great info. It's exactly what I needed. Thanks, Mike!

[@fordfreak300]

3 years later and this merge is on its second turbo now but still on the car.

[@chaselee3965]

Been a subscriber for 52 seconds, heard your shout out from Cleetus so I figured I would check you out. Not a welder but I noticed the All American flag in the background. 11B myself out of Campbell. Glad to see other Vetetans doing things.

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Chase Lee thank you sir! I was a 68w

[@chaselee3965]

God bless!! We loved y'all man, twice as much as the chow SGT

What about 1 1/4” stainless steel? I looking to have set made For a Honda gx630 motor Larry

[@trophbrwntrouthunter]

Just found this channel, I hope he still makes videos. I’ve learned a ton and I like his common sense expectations.

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

He does but they are mostly about his pos turbo ls Phoenix

[@deweyhorsman1607]

Best music in a KZbin video yet!

[@midnighttutor]

Nice video! Looks like you are using a gas lens and Furick 12 cup with a pedal. Just curious what your amp setting was and what diameter rod? Thank you.

[@SWFabrication.]

Typically you'll set it at one amp for every .001 of material thickness. For example 1/8 or .125 would be 125 amps. Then you'd adjust accordingly. I'd start low, then work your way up. As for filler I use anywhere from. 030, 1/16 and 3/32. Your filler will be based on your fitment. The tighter the fitment the better weld.

[@floridasaltlife]

I warped a couple flanges like that, had to start welding them clamped to their mate !! I also weld them inside to clean look and clean even on stainless

[@floridasaltlife]

I take that back somewhat. I was rolling them around on edge !! yours were setting on a flat heat sink, may be a big difference. !!

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Doug Doty all stainless will warp a bit. It’s about heat control, speed vs amps where you direct the heat etc. I used to bolt them down too. Often still do but the other side of this flange is a t6 turbo

[@tptrsn]

Your argon bill must be high as hell. You post-flow the shit out of that shit! :)

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Hammerhaus Kennel I pay 40$ per 300 footer. So I could purge the room and it would hurt much. As matter of fact, I’ve done that once. Not intentionally or course

[@justinshields4216]

Love the beats & techniques brother!

[@CarlosFlores-tu4rv]

I personally enjoy videos on watching people doing actual work than the talking. I will soon start a channel and I will be doing more work than just talking.

[@WickedMoto]

loving the videos Mike! I just got done watching your beginner tig series, it gave me the confidence to start attempting tig welding. Once i start work here in the next week, I'll be setting aside money to buy an AHP AlphaTig 200, which yes, i will be buying the tig starter kit from your website, which IMHO, is the best deal around. Thank you for the work you put into everything. One question I do have is, when should one know to use pulse? Basically looking at it from a beginner perspective of not having the experience to back them up. Oh also, just pulsing change any of the techniques up? or do you still continue to dab move dab move etc?

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Wicked Moto check out my video on how to weld 16ga tube. I explain it there. Thanks for the nice words.

[@WickedMoto]

@@MonkeyFabGarage Awesome, thank you again for helping us less educated welding wanna be folks lol! I will check out the video. No problem, just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it and have a sense of the hard work that would go into everything and all the thought and time and consumables that is used to make the videos you do. As soon as I can get a welder and start practicing, I will be posting the pictures on my instagram to show the progress. With your permission (when it comes time) I will tag you in it as well to show others that if you can watch Monkey Fab's How To Tig video's you can go from 0 - 100 granted you put in the effort. Thanks again. Have a great day Mike (i hope its respectable that I address you that way or do you want to be addressed as Mr. Monkey Fab?) And thank you for your service as well! - Damen

[@CrazyCowboyBuilds]

AWESOME video! Learned something I didn't know here. I'll be calling you tomorrow Mike to order a collector and wastegate pipe and reducers

[@neverlift6380]

Pipe looked really nice! How do you scale some jobs to determine a price point for some work? I’m just getting stared with learning how tig and possibly wanting to get into messing with Stainless, Mild, and aluminum. I’m sure the charges change when welding stainless due to back purging but this didn’t know how to even begin to come up with a rate. From like amateur to full on experienced welder. Thank you in advanced for Any type of help/suggestions.

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Never Lift parts plus labor. No secrets. So that part would be like $40-60 for the bend. 60$ for the flange plus 3hrs labor $300 so like $400.

[@frankvela1766]

Outstanding work ! I will use this concept on a smaller scale for my t3 turbo.

[@rjpeterson1]

You make that look easy! You have a lot of talent

[@shitbox7413]

Love the videos man, I’ve known of your products for some time but was not aware of your channel. Again great videos, love fabrication, you inspired me to get back in the shop and put my Sycrowave to work. 👍🏻

[@kevinkorpela7470]

Where did you get the belt sander adapter for the grinder?

[@yourtraining9709]

nice job, man! lucky hands

[@javierbroger2635]

would love to see you doing a 4 to 1 collector.

[@todds5956]

This is exactly what I need , thanks

[@grantadan]

Hey bro I had a questions about blue demon stainless flux core wire. It there a better place I can talk to you instead of the comments area also I just ordered you t4 2.5 adapter I love the quality of it I'm all about quality over quantity, I also know about your products like a lot of others from watching sloppy mechanics

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

I don’t know anything about mig welding. I’m horrible at it. I wish I could post pictures here to prove that. Call blue demon. They usually have a regional rep that should be able to speak welding.

[@grantadan]

@@MonkeyFabGarage damn well thanks for the quick response

[@chrisrenaud4141]

very nice job great welding, talk about your PAPR sometime did you get that from a previous job?

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Part Out just bought it off a friend. It’s an old one and I got it for 500. It’s so good, it makes me wonder how much better the new ones are. The optics on my wife’s Lincoln are crazy good.

[@chrisrenaud4141]

Yeah i have the viking 4c also I liked it but recently the board shorted and i had to solder a jumper wire from the battery to another point on the circuit board to get it to work again, bought it used go figure.

[@todds5956]

What is that polisher attachment? Thanks

[@PabloGonzalez-uh6mx]

what size are those aluminum blocks you are using?they look handy for multiple uses

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

I have many sizes. I usually just buy scrap blocks at the metal mart or eBay. They don’t need to be aluminum but seems to be pretty cheap. Also great for pulling heat out of metal.

[@jspeed1526]

Very nice video man!!!!

[@danielmileslion9273]

Brilliant video 👍 where can I find the 5" to 4" v-band reducer you used and also a 4" to 3" reducer?

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Daniel Miles Lion I stock 4-3 on my website monkeyfabgarage.com I got the 5-4 from John bewley at lil’johns

[@karlmitchell360]

Nice vid! Any info on the sanding attachment thats on the grinder (used to clean up the pipes)?

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Karl Mitchell it’s called a pipe polisher. I talk about it more in a upcoming video on cheap catch cans. Keep an eye out.

[@tristanbowen2691]

do you need to purge it?

[@jray7656]

Learned something new today.

[@Trellis_G]

Turbo manifold for a 9th gen V6 accord J-Series engine

[@ronmiller682]

Did you use brake clean to spray inside the pipes ? Thought that was a no no in the welding world because it creates a poison gas ?

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Ron Miller yeah it’s best to not use it. There are two types, one will kill you. So best practice is to not use it.

[@pandvsims]

Thanks for sharing. Gave me lots of ideas!

[@derekgrubbs117]

How much for that. Cause that's exactly what I'm needing

[@TheMatt4897]

What were your heat settings ? And also what size rod And tungsten did you use?

[@MikeSmith-ir9tq]

Hey gave you a thumbs up keep up the good work, but your music killing me LOL

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Mike Smith you know, with the music. You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if ya don’t.

[@joell439]

Mike Smith I like the music. Kinda like weld porn.

[@CarlosFlores-tu4rv]

Great job on your videos!.

[@carlospineiro758]

Bad ass!! Awesome

[@Bluebuyz]

Where can I get a welding helmet like yours?

[@HDRINDUSTRIES]

Airborne!

[@alloyspeed1889]

Woah that looks great. I may copy the concept.

[@emma_freerider]

Beautiful job

[@jjgag601]

Is that your tungsten sharpener next to your table. Which one do you like? It looks like a Milwaukee.

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

JJ Smith it is. It’s from arc-zone. Pretty nice.

[@daveprototype6079]

Great video New subscriber Cheers Dave

[@Monnier11]

Great video!

[@HoodWeldingandFabrication]

Nice job man!!

[@arnoldglean1101]

wat brand of tig welder are you using?

[@BotelloPerformance]

mike I'm looking to do dual 3" to single 4" without using a 3"-4" reducer. would I do same as u did here just cut 1" off a U bend?

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

no sir. its a bit more of a PIA than that sir. in theory, add 1/2" in the middle cut for each side and then you'll need to figure out how to make it round because it will look like a 8 so that will have to be rounded. the easy way would use a 3" just like i did and one of my 3-4 reducers.

[@spleno1]

Im sorry... "Bogg warner"?

[@bmw2002usa]

Thank you very much for the video. Regrads from Mozambique

[@chrisrenaud4141]

nice swag stand I want to get one of those

[@VW5767]

great job!!

[@ryosukeasai4969]

I wish you where in Honolulu, HI so you could make one for my MK6 GTI! Haha!

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Ryo Asai I was in Honolulu 2yrs and it was horrible. Well beside the beautiful weather and ocean. But not a great place if you’re a car guy.

[@ginfaijimmythamtham1618]

Good welding

[@mpbclutch33]

Why use mild steel??

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

mpbclutch33 because that’s what the customer wanted.

[@mpbclutch33]

Sorry wasn't trying to come across like an ass. Was asking because mild steel is a lot cheaper and you don't have to back purge. Just wondering how mild steel holds up on exhaust

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

@@mpbclutch33 no worries. well, i pull the original mild steel exhaust out of my 78 pontiac phoenix and it was still in one piece after 40 years.

Opinionation? Lol

[@justmadfit7488]

hi really enjoyed the video, im doing a job like this so i looked it up and couldnt have found a better one. you said this was mild steel its very polished i almost thought it was stainless.
