New turbo kit for my car.

How much boost did you run on the 35R setup? (weird question... what bov? Recirc or atmo?)

Ya, some of them are beveled better than others, but it gets to be a pain in the bum bum if the bevel is to large and your trying to hold everything together by yourself. I think I used a 1/2 roll of masking tape. lol.

Most of the time the 35r was @ 34-35psi daily, e85 car. It blew up on 37-38psi. The wg was recirced back in, along with a modded stock bov recirced back in.

The new setup is a dumped tial 44, and tial bov. e85 of course, SD on the stock ecu.

Ya, I do it all at home. Basically out of a two car garage. Been so busy latley I have done a few evo clutch jobs and turbo installs in my driveway.

I need a shop!

Been working more, figured it was time to update my thread.

Downpipe, dump pipe, lower ic pipe, is all fabbed and welded, the manifold is 80 % welded I am just waiting on a new headflange to finish it, then drop it off at the coating place and I should be ready to go.

The engine is done, gonna run some vacume lines and wires and put oil in it.

you're figuring it out. You just need to work on tacking pieces. You can tack SS without filler rod. They key is lifting on the pedal very quickly... it draws the metal together and forms a tack. Do it enough and you'll understand what I mean.

I see you ran out of stainless bends

Nice job rocking the pedal!

So this is a basic question to R/TErnie and Fathouse.... do you guys have the welder setup in pulsed?

Currently I weld both DC stuff (stainless and mild steel), and AC stuff with pulsed settings. I found it easiest when I first started. I run the pulse at 1Hz and it helped with timing on adding filler rod - as well as not getting the material too hot. Now that I'm a little better than when I first started I wonder if that is still good practice?

I used to use the pulser when I first started welding, but I do not anymore. I also used to try to figure out the right amps for every thickness/type of metal etc.

Now I do not pulse anything, and just set the amps up high and let my foot control the power.

IMHO, try to get good without the pluser and such, I found myself welding at a friends house with his machine that did not have a pulser, and not knowing what I am doing. Now I can weld with anybodys machine.

Rock the pedal. It's a manual pulse persay... you control the heat much better. I pedal down when I'm adding and welding... lift on the pedal when I'm moving. It keeps the heat from saturating the piece.

My 200Dx dynasty doesn't have enough amperage on AC for me to use a pulser... I run it wide open

damn wish i had a dynasty...need to get rid of my house size sync and get me a little dynasty. Especially for the 115 hookups, new house doesnt have 220 and i dont feel like adding it...

very nice work.....look foward to see how this all turns out

updizzles...... fat-hizzle.....

Finally got some more work done, the manifold is 99.3% done. I was waiting on a SS headflange that I had made. Monday it gets dropped off to get coated, and I should be making boost again next weekend. Thats the plan anyway. The only thing left to fab is a new upper IC pipe.

New 1/2" thick stainless head flange.

How much do you think you spent on the materials for your manifold?

[jid2]

That collector looks friggin nice inside. Great work house-of-fattness.

Thanks man.
