rudypoochris Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I wonder how the inter cooling is going to work? Air -> Water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boodlefoof Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Wow Lason! That is looking pretty slick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgic_hero Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 get rid of that push on hose! Dude's welds are too hot, try running less amps, get a bigger cup and toss some steel wool in there to slow the gas down. take your time.. give the material time to cool down before moving the cup away.... are you post flowing? other than that, looking cool.. cant wait to see how the rest of it pans out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 One with the downpipe started.. Looks like an out pipe not a down pipe! Guess he'll be wanting to run in the left lane at the strip and he's going to love passing people!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lason Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yeah thats my setup. Powder coater just called and said its ready to pick up. Going with all black ceramic to hide my crappy welds No intercooler and will be run on E85 so the intake charge should be cool enough but the plans down the road are for a air/water intercooler in the passenger seat area. That will come with the new motor I plan on starting on this winter. Right now its just a bone stock LS1 longblock and ran a 7.6 in the 1/8 with a crappy Edelbrock carb. New motor will be a LSX block, stock cubes, all forged so I can really crank up the boost. By the time its all said and done Im hoping for a mid 5 second streetable ride.

Lason Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 get rid of that push on hose!

This was my first attempt at welding any kind of tube and it was a real pain and took a lot of getting used to. The 5" downpipe was a lot easier than the smaller 3" and 1 3/4" primaries for sure. Its all Mig so I wasnt aware that I could post flow the welds though. As for the push lok hose, Im a real big fan of the stuff in most cases. There are a few places that I wont even consider it, like tranny lines. But I do need to get rid of this Parker brand hose I have on there. I have heard stories of the stuff falling apart and causing issues. I got it at my local circle track place then noticed after I installed it, it wasnt NHRA compliant so Im replacing it with Aeroquip brand. Also going from a single -8 feed to a -10 feed and -10 return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
