Vp16 and 1.10A/R. I will post them asap.

I hope you don't mind me asking what filler rod you are using for welding the stainless(diam and material), what gas (Argon, Argon/Carbondioxide etc) and at what amps you are welding.

I tig on my own and I happen to really like the defined bead your welds have.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

What i normally use is .035 308 wire for stainless and 309 for stainless to steel..

Gas: Argon, i normally set the regulator at 13~15.

I also use a gas lens and usually around 35~85 amps...( depending on thickness)

im having the same problem here Gus. Think ours might even be E70. So looks like ill only get to dyno on low boost until summer when e85 comes back unless i get my hands on something else. I only have 5 gallons of e85 left, should have saved more.

since i had a trillion 90dgr bends on my intercooler piping i felt like improving the setup.

inlet on intercooler was 2.5".



welding on 3" piping.



cutting on my newly polished parts


the rad is placed as high as possible.






i'm going to try the new pegasus clamps on this setup!
