gusfd3s

been waiting for some parts so got a few days off..

Yesterday i received a 4" v-band clamp so i cut of the 3" flange and did some welding.






tomorrow i'll get my muffler and the pipe so by the end of the weekend im hopefully done!

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.

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)

gusfd3s

no prob at all bro.

im using a 1,6mm 316L rod and pure argon, 2,4mm red tungsten. amps i don't know since im using the pedal for heat control..

holy stainless ha you must have spend five grand on all that huge tubing!!!!!!!! Looks good thought, i have to hear those twin waste gates they are prolly going to sound crazy

gusfd3s

got some work done today...

i finally got my 4" pipes! i decided to try with a single muffler first..







im to cheap to buy real bends...


took a while to tig everything!



then i fired her up and i must say that im relieved that the sound wasn't as bad as i thought it would!

Chaotic_FC

lookin' really good man.
when are you going to dyno it with the 4" exhaust?

enzo250

looking good gus.. I'm almost finished with my 4" exhaust as well...

gusfd3s

we'll see, havning some problem getting e85 since it's e75 everywhere now, don't have much fuel left in the tank!

gusfd3s

going to be really interesting seeing what numbers you can pull!

next step is the 6point roll bar install..

then its time for some axles...

turboR1

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.

need RX7

car looks like a rex from hell, lol. wicked manifold, turbo and wastegate setup. not sure of the dump tubes, but hey it works. post some vids soon. good work.

gusfd3s

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!

gusfd3s

this is how the ic setup turned out..
minimum amount of bends and pipe length!

how is the clearance under the car with the intercooler pipes being that low?

gusfd3s

pretty much same as before since the rad is mounted about 3inch higher.
