Cool thanks for the advice compression. would welding each joint slowly with lots of cool down time alleviate that issue ?

back purge them for sure, and yes, weld about .5-1" on one joint, then move to another on the opposite end of the pipe, or another pipe completely.

Also if you bevel the pipes it will help quite a bit with uniformity and penetration.
 
Just thought if share some quick snaps of a coolant overflow I whipped up this afternoon. 1/8th in aluminum using a miller dynasty. At around 100 amps. This was just a fun little self test and was welded in position ( fixed upright with the "top" facing down) so I would get a mix of vertical and horizontal. I feel it turned out well for an hours work and some aluminum scrap :) I'm still working on the lid and all the hardware, will update when complete.

Overflow

That looks cool, Want to share some dimensions when your done? I want to cut it on the cnc.


I want a dynasty :( do you have pulse square wave, AC balance and post/pre flow control?



You are looking for all those features, you don't touch them half the time.
Pre flow .5
Post flow 2.5-3 (unless it's stainless)
AC balance - 67ish
Freq 140-180hz
Done!

BTW Everyone USPS flat rate shipping went UP and flat rate international shipping went DOWN.
 
Well thats good to know for me Lol. Gamble i need like 5 more of the screens for the big boy cup. Got some back spatter and the screen is clogged with steel balls.

As for the settings? I'll use them. Of course I'll use pulse most. I'm sick of manual foot pedal

You've just been jacked. Useing that shit

Wheres it gettin mounted? Was this copied off the oem? Or did you jabe plans to fit it in some cool place

Mounting In OEM position Via a mounting tab in the OEM location on the left hand side. Please, feel free to use and modify the design as needed. Again, this was a very quick go at something for fun that just happened to turn out nice :) I just started cutting the material and went with it. No measurements, blueprints, set up, or layout of any kind before hand. I love making one-off pieces that are unique.
 
Thanks!
I really wish aluminum was magnetic for times like this and tacking it up LOL
 
The two "front" faces were cut via vertical band saw, the rest were sheared. I have an ETS short route as well with no fitment issues.


Interesting. Inguess I'll try.

I sadly have no bansaw access:(

Thanks!

This, but use tape on your mags LOL it won't melt just for tacking. I have those also. They work well.
 
Those beads look to far apart. When your do a leak test its more prone to leak. You need close beads to ensure a better seal. But other then that its not bad. Also seems like its welded on 1 side rather then the corner but Maybe im not seeing it right!

What horse shit is this?????? Beads too far apart?? As long as it's a continuous bead it doesnt matter how far the dimes are, thing is aluminum and holding coolant, not boost.

It pressure tested to 67 PSI before our pump failed LOL I'm confident in saying its water tight.
 
What's the ID of the stock PVC and valve cover breather line? Need to figure it out for my next catch can.
 
No the hose itself. I want to make a catch can with the barbs so I just need to know what size hose is on there.

Big thanks to ebailey95 for the dimensions. That is a fun project. I haven't put the top piece on yet and have to figure out a cap first. The long side with the bends was a bi***. I cut out a piece and scribed them with my angle grinder and bend by hand over the end of the work bench. Came out pretty good, I have to trim about 1/8" off the top though. .100 5000 series aluminum sucks to bend by hand LOL. Glad it wasn't a 6000 series or I would still be trying.

Best part was sitting there and tacking it all up I realized I needed the bottom piece so I turn off my welder and draw the correct size box and cut it on the cnc. Turn my welder back on and back in business tacking in only a few minutes.

What cap should I use and what size? I'm probably going to use a pro werks if I can find one cheap enough. Also need a rough measurement to do the bracket since I don't have a 2g.

And just for you Kyle I did the entire thing using pulse. 150 amps, 30 or 33% background current, and .8 or .9 pulses per second.
