musta missed that one in the transfer
How the hell do you have time for this in arc school?
hahah, i dont…i never sleep, i go to school, do all my school shit, come home, call up the guys, work on the car until 1am, call the g/f to see how her day was, then go to bed, get up at 8 and go back to school to get more arc stuff done, and repeat.
Did you ever get any numbers last year? Any idea what it will put down once tunned?
no numbers last year, i ran pretty dead even with BigAirSkier from a 50 roll, thats all i have to go by. im hoping to break 250whp after tunning. aiming for a 13.7 in the 1/4
Not bad at all. Him and I did a few pulls a few years ago. I got the jump till about 80ish then he’d creap by me. But that was back when all I had was a 3.4 pulley and pushing 224whp. Hope to see you around this year. Keep up the nice work :tup:
hmm, i have one of those yuengling hats. 
Progress looks good.
why the adapter thing, why not just mount the turbo directly to that manifold? or if lowering it was a concern why not build a longer collector for that manifold…
the adaptor thing is because the header is stainless and im working in mild steel, and clearance is also an issue. the adaptor basically serves as an extension, and works good just enough to place it in a good spot between the fans and where the oil seperator mounts on the block
umm you can weld mild steel to stainless…
well, to do it i thought you need a tig welder and have to use NIrod which is nickel rod made for dissimilar metals
Welding together of different metals, such as of Grade 304 to Grade 430 or a stainless steel to a mild steel, can be carried out, although some extra precautions need to be taken. It is usually recommended that over-alloyed austenitic welding rods, such as Grade 309, be used to minimise dilution effects on the stainless steel component. The composition of the weld deposit resulting from dissimilar grade welding is shown in the Schaeffler diagram or its successors by De Long and more recently the WRC. AS 1554.6 contains a table giving the pre-qualified consumables for each combination of dissimilar metal welds
nickel rod is only used to weld cast iron to steel or somethign if i remember right, i dont remember
well, i had no idea, its a little late to swap it, and im happy with the way it is coming out, plus we are working with an ancient mig welder here. lol
thats fine, if i would have known u needed a mig welder, i bought one a couple months ago and havnt used it yet…
:mad:
its not ancient … its just not shiney any more
and its not longer a “mig welder” its now an “angle fixer”
hahahahahahahahha …im gonna post that pic later on lol 
the header is also jethot coated, modifying it would have required grinding it down and fuxoring the finish. and then to migweld some plain sheet metal to it… ick
then what o we do if the header cracks later on ? buy a replacement and modify that one the same way?
what if nick later decided to get a real turbo header made and wants to sell this one … whos gonna buy that hack job ?
at least this way its easy to replace the header if heed be, and the headers still worth something down the road
^ that too :tup:
Project: Pimp my Welder :tup:
there is no way that header is jet hot coated
