Absolutely amazing port work and welds man. Keep up the good work.

Thank u sir

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.

I picked up 6 6" long 1x1x.100 square tube to make a coffee/console table for my living room behind the couch. plan is to get some nice live edge wood and bolt it from the under side I'll post as it continues.

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.

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

Yes Sir, however, I very rarely find myself playing with those features for what I do.

 

[Gamble97]

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

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

Of course, I'm looking to try to finish it Monday. I'll post some more pics up then, but in the meantime, here's a rough blueprint.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

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.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Me too! How are you cutting? Or do you have a sheer? I have a short route fmic so stock location doesnt work unless thing is short

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.

 

[Gamble97]

Thanks!
I really wish aluminum was magnetic for times like this and tacking it up

Interesting. Inguess I'll try.

I sadly have no bansaw access

This, but use tape on your mags it won't melt just for tacking. I have those also. They work well.

Cnc cutting this weekend. Hit me up if you want anything.

What do you mean by CNC cutting? What machine are you using to cut the material?

 

[FIBA M - EC17PSE]

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 I'm confident in saying its water tight.

 

[Gamble97]

What's the ID of the stock PVC and valve cover breather line? Need to figure it out for my next catch can.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I think i tapped a 1/8 ntp or 1/4

 

[Gamble97]

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 . 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.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

150 is slot of amps I'd prob been at 120
