The idea behind this kit is really nice and all, but why are you guys rushing this build? Then you could have then used a high frequency TIG welder. Otherwise, an A for effort and engineering. Good Luck.
we're both very busy with school and other things . we had been planning making this setup for a while but very suddenly decided to start the project because last weekend, the time was just right.

So whats this kit cost, i forget who makes the one for us, but its rediciously priced for a SC FMIC
$110 for piping, reducers, couplers, clamps

I don't have access to one for personal use. I do use a nice Linde Heliarc 306 at school though.

not bad on materials pricing, think yall would do it again for the right price? UR is like 1k for the kit and i think thats outrageous being that other FMIC kits for most turbos dont go near that much

electrode doesn't get contaminated every time i need to scratch start. also good welders have remote pedal controls so I can continuously vary the amperage being used while I'm welding.
