Looking good man. I wanna do a top mount next year after I max out my current black setup. You need to get her on the track again.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

It's on the to do list for sure, trying to get it running so i can drive it on the trailer for the move.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Heres a front roll stop I'm working on.

 

[Kaj2gDSMspyder]

This is an awesome post!! Hope you can get your GSX going soon!

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Started welding it

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Heres a manifold update.

 

[taylork057]

Is that plate thick enough to prevent flexing?(front roll stop)

 

[Archer Fabrications]

It doesnt really see any lift, roll cage plates are 1/8. It'll do until i make my tube front end.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Got three welds done on the manifold, then baby woke up from a nap

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Argon is ar-GONE

 

[Maes]

That is really impressive

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Thanks man!

Looking sexy bud, can you hook up argon to a MIG and get similar reaults? Forgive me if this is very ignorant

 

[Archer Fabrications]

If your good you can get similar results, MIG by definition uses gas (usually argon co2 mix about 75/25 or around there) sounds like you normally use flux core? Tig is all i do it's been a few years since ive touched a wire feed welder.

 

[xiteamxi]

What's the dementions on the mk3 rad your going to use?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I havnt picked one yet, I'm gonna try and see If the half rad will work with a 10" pusher. Need to find the fan.

Not sure what kind of wire but it does splatter a little bit and I have to clean up with grinder / flap wheel etc. I'm not using any gas & get better results with push vs pull. It's just about my 4th time welding. So far just brackets and stuff but would like to some exhaust or waste gate dump etc

 

[familyMAN]

Good stuff urban. Stop posting and keep welding. 6466 is waiting.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

@familyMAN
the 6466 can go on soon

Almost done, hust head flange welds, wastegates and porting!
It's tough keeping consistant color with a small 55cf (2.5ft tall) argon bottle my machine was doing this weird thing too as i was at about 500psi gas left. I'd slope out to avoid the crater and the tungsten would arc out as if it got contaminated and then the gas flow would stop and burn a piece of the weld. Think it's safe to say you can only successfully use 3/4 of your small argon tank. Can't wait to move to arizona and get 6 275cf tanks

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Gettin there. Whiped up a 35 inch long 3.5" side exit

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Making sure the gate placement is perfect to sit right under the exhaust.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Got my mk3 golf rad fits with minor cutting and drilling

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Gettin there just have wastegate welding left on both sides

 

[familyMAN]

Looks Great!

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Got to weld up a wastegate runner today and a little bit of the side exit and ran out of gas. This little bottle thing kills me.
