New setup

[Dave]

Recently I installed a DSM double core FMIC and a Devilzown alky kit. Sitting at 16psi now with 100% alcohol it moves pretty nice. :thumb: My next venture is to borrow the wideband from the van and dial it in.

It needs a battery tray still, shh... ;)

Look'n good. Tell your Dad I'll call him tonight

hope you add some shrouding to everything. Otherwise the air is just gonna go right around the radiator and the i/c instead of through it.

Way ahead of you. I have a 3"x36" piece of sheet metal I'll use to shroud the upper and side portions of the intercooler. :thumb:

DSM cores welded together, good idea:thumb: Looks functional, how much ground clearance do you have? Pic angle is misleading I think. Got any pics of the IC finished before install? Did you leak test it with some air, I had trouble getting an airtight weld where the cores join eachother:o

Do you have an AC balance function on the TIG you use? Try setting it to a higher penetration level and use as slow of a travel speed as possible with the torch with lots of fill rod insertion, very smoothly if possible. It helps get deep into the cores and seal... because even the bars in the cores aren't always well sealed to each other, so sometimes the weld looks good and isn't truly at fault.

I just spent 5 hours the other day with 4 precision air-water cores not wanting to seal up. What a nightmare.

Good tips thanks Aaron. THing is, when I slow down I seem to build too much heat in the weld zone, with Aluminum it want's to 'fall in' on me. There are a couple of reverse polarity settings, I'll have to try another mode to see what happens. I didn't actually get a manual with my used set up:o

Sheesh 5 labor hours at your shop has got to be like a thousand bones:D

Not to turn this thread into a weld tech thread, but... +1 on weld penetration and use the fill rod to cool the puddle just before you think its going to go... takes practice.
