    So the charge piping is officially complete. And the intercooler is mounted. Worked slick. Anyone know of a good place to get good v band clamps? Hopefully affordable.

    I would like to let everyone know that I have 13.5" of cold side 3" intercooler piping and 1-2" of hot side 2.5" piping. Good right? I hope. Goal is quick throttle response(in the future more goals will reflect on this.)

      Wow! Great work on that compressor outlet->IC setup. That is really slick!
      Will the intercooler have soft rubber mounts so that it can move with the engine?

        I hope to have it solidly mounted along with the engine. Does that work?

        And yes! Lots of hours into it.

          Couple other mock up pictures I found. epymu5uh.jpgje3yvagu.jpgmu3ytupy.jpg

          So I got this stubby thing for my torch(actually bought every option) and also ordered a new gas lens setup. Currently only have a 3/32 gas lens but I like 1/16

          My first attempt at welding 6061 to cast aluminum.

                    I hope to have it done this summer! Haha. I could get this thing running and driving in two weeks but I need to save money for the chassis... aka roll cage and coilovers/suspension bits and wheels..

                    July 4th I promise to burn a set of tires off. comprende?

                      So I ended up ordering 24' of 6061 t6 1.250 OD .065 wall to use for coolant line. I will be connecting it to the thermostat an other various joints with silicon so there is flex and such. Not sure if I will be running it out of

                      the cabin or not. Should be quite a bit of updates soon..

                          Thank you sir! There will be lots and lots and lots of fab coming from me in the coming months. If there was more time, I would be building a lot more, but I am in a rush... And then there is the excuse of the damn cold.
