nice, Get that shit together john..........in time for motor magic?

[KA-T_240]

hehehe motor magic, well find out wont we. i somewhat started on it today, cut extra wires, removed fenderwells, removed stuff to get to ecu, do everything i can do and keep it driveable for aslongs as possible and then have a frenzy putting it together... probably tearing apart this weekend to start on IC pipes and fix the DP. and get it welded and stuff well i do the rest off it

[Phats]

by chance, is it aluminum intercooler piping? Cause i got to find somebody to weld it together for me, cheap.....maybe we can have a "intercooler pipe welding orgy"

that's the thing, i have aluminum piping now, as far as getting the car down there, that's a toss up, but if i needed too, one way or another, i could

[KA-T_240]

Im not possitive on whether or not the wire and gas in the welder can decently weld aluminum. but should be able to tack and then bring it to a welder to get welded the rest off the way, im considering just tac welding the pieces and bring them to get welded. im going to try a couple welds on some spare stainless and see how they turn out

[Phats]

yeha i know u need different wire........and i THINK u need a different feed mechanism, push vs. Pull, i am sure someone can explain the differences, but i got a week or 2 before it is good to go....so i am not in THAT big of a rush, YET.......

[Joel]

u need a push mechanism with aluminum mig

[KA-T_240]

ya, i knew that just dont know if we have the stuff for it.

[Afsil80]

Don't forget, it also depends on what aluminum alloy the piping is made out of.

Pretty sure only 50 and 60 series aluminum alloys are weldable.

[KA-T_240]

pssssssh aluminum. stailness steel FTW. i get that magnaflow stuff for cheap so ya. and i dont have the stuff to weld alum. i wont cause ive seen what happens when u dont it ruins everything
