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.

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..

I'm proud of my 13.5" of cold side piping.

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.
