wow looks good, good thing that car has a turbo though to match the "flambouyant" styling
you made good progress though good for you. i do belive that ITB's wouldnt be worth the effort on your car though i mean it CAN be done but id wait to get this setup ironed out at least. only thing i have to nit pick is the size of the runners on your manifold (intake). maybe its the picture but um those seem real thin and short. |

Wire speed = amperage Volts = 'heat' heat = amps voltage is not changeable..... plug it into a 110/115 or 220/230v outlet...... output is amperage, usually from about 30 amps to the machines max |

Low speed switched to 2 is what I use for thick stuff. Gotta keep wirespeed down on little welders with thick stuff because it heats up too slow. #2 ftw.

Wire speed = amperage Volts = 'heat' Simple fact wire feed welders use a CV or constant voltage power supply. What the operator can adjust is the voltage. Turning up the voltage in turn raises the current, simple fact. If you turn up the voltage and lower the current, you are doing nothing to put more energy into the work piece. |

nice ---- there post more vids of some rippers

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header... Now with install pics!!
its up and running, I gotta get some vids. Waiting on my reflash tool to turn the boost up, but IVe put 295 miles on it at 8 PSI with no problems. I get full spool at 1400 RPM, the torque is insane. :6

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header... Now with install pics!!
dude this is awesome. Major props to you. You never see stuff like this. My grandfather has a little ford escort that has 300,000 miles on it and he's changed the oil maybe 10 times total ever hah. It's awesome

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header... Now with install pics!!
more updates, its running fine, except it overheats. I reversed the coolant flow through the radiator to make room for the turbo, and now I get cavitation in the waterpump. It only overheats on the highway after 2-3 hours though. Ive put 2K miles on it with no problems, other then that however. My reflash tool is finally here, but I gotta worry about the cooling problems first.

very impressive work!! :y :y
