Yeah I did the same thing with a stock Camry manifold - cut it off at the runners and flipped it around to make it forward facing. Worked fine with a brace to the block, I used a budget mig setup to weld it though.
You have to modify the hell out of an s2k intake to fit a k24 from what I’ve seen. Also s2k intake is like 300, so if i have to cut one I’m cutting a cheap one lol
Can't tell if Casey is just trolling everyone by calling it a K two four instead of a K twenty-four or just if no one has told him yet... My bet is on the trolling
And I have gathered from watching your videos and how hard you are on tools that your dad gave you shit for more than checking the oil on the compressor.......lol😊
Blade needs changed from all the roll cage work over done and i figured it would just make a mess of it. Brand new sawzall blade ripped right though perfectly
please bro for your own sake don’t wear gloves when grinding/cutting if a disk catches your skin it will cut but if it catches your glove it will be a messy cut, each to their own but just something I’ve learnt from experience ahah
Watching him weld was so cringe. There is so much he did wrong that made things more difficult for himself. The biggest mistakes were 1 you don't want any gaps 2 always bevel your material if you plan on blending it 3 never remove the torch until the post flow has stopped. This is basic info for any tig welding.
Remember people this guy is a joker and just makes meme videos for click bait here on RU-vid. He has no real skill set when it comes to tig. Amazingly funny video if you wanna learn what not to do.
FYI looks like your trying to get it to hot to fast. Slow down create puddle then flow it. Went to school for welding all 3 processes an Tig and Alum where my fav to do.
Best aluminum advice I can give is clean it. Like laboratory clean. Sand paint off with new disks. (If you sanded steel with it previously, it will embed particles.) Candle wax makes sanding easier. Wipe everything down with acetone after. You can run those smaller tungsten rods, but you need a liquid cooled torch. They make aftermarket coolers for air cooled units like yours. Keep going, you're doing fine. CLEAN THE SH*T OUT OF IT!
The bad part is where you cut it there is no chance of smoothing out the inside so the intake works properly you should have cut it closer to flange and used old intake and bolted the two together so no distortion when welding but I'm definitely not a aluminum welder that's what I'd do with steel
I run 3/32 Layzr tungsten at 175amps AC tig. If you let the torch cool for 20-30 min after each 2-3 inch pass its doable with an aircooled 17 torch. But I loved the intro on this video :D@@caseyscustoms2
I was thinking of starting a channel and I would be uploading cool guy stuff like working on my junker 99 Sonoma v8 project, bbqiing and hunting / gun reviews. But hands down Casey has some of the coolest projects out there. Cheers 🇨🇦
That's awesome. That flip fit was perfect. 👌 Can't believe you're not at 100,000 already. Started my channel last October. Almost at 7500. Thanks for the inspiration brother.
