exhaust manifold cast would it weld to stainless?

[K7ERG]

Wondering if cast and stainless can be welded together? Calling all welders

[Error404]

In a word, no. What is it you're trying to do?

[Jamo]

It's possible but is a very specialist job, what is it your trying to do? if it's aftermarket wastegate use a flange welded to the vband for example

[K7ERG]

the downpipe is V band but changing the turbo so need to to connect the downpipe to exhaust housing using v band.

Will try get my hands on a AEL downpipe and see if i can do anything with that.

[Jamo]

What turbo? if it's garrett buy the vband adapter.

It can be done Comp turbo do it to their housings but I think it's looks a nasty job

[K7ERG]

Its a K24

[Jamo]

What size is the vband? as a 3" one couldn't be welded onto a k24 it's too small.

Better off making an adapter using the K24 flange, cone SS and then Vband connector.

[K7ERG]

Thats what i done on my downpipe for the AAN. I used the K24 flange and welded a ss cone to take the 3" downpipe.

My problem is i dont have a K24 downpipe to chop and i would like to keep the 3" v band downpipe.

You can buy the flanges, s2spike, AndyP can point you in the right direction.

yes its possible. What Kind of Cast Material is it? If its like high Nickel Stuff,D5S or 1.4848, you can weld Stainless Steel with Inconell wire. (Tig) Works very good.

[K7ERG]

what ever the k24 housing is made of???

I stand corrected - didn't know this was possible

[Thuppu]

Do a V-band adapter.

yes, then it should be easy, with Inconell Wire and Tig.
Its important to clean up the Cast Part, it need to be bare Metall. Heat both Parts up and weld it together. Make sure you will cool it down very very slow!!

after welded heat up the 2 parts again until red

to cool down slow fill half a bucket with sand place the welded part and cover with sand leave it for a good wile
