JUST A FEW PICS FROM THE FAB

Re: yeah just bought an oxy acetylene welder
 

1st: i realized after the fact that i shoulda started with the collector. doh.
2nd: oil filter relocation kit. oil drain in lower part of pic and pressure sending unit.
3rd: saab intercooler with piping. looks like it will be fitting pretty snug (esp with the civic radiator and fan. not pictured)

funny you spent so much time on that long runner aiming at nothing?

Re: yeah just bought an oxy acetylene welder
 

Fram sucks balls - go buy a Wix. :y

Good luck with that collector. :S

Re: yeah just bought an oxy acetylene welder
 

I must concur... Fram is garbage. Have cut open a few different ones ive used and the fram is a joke. The K&N ones are good, the mobile 1 ones are ok..... Wix as I remember were better than fram but not the K&N

hows that welder working for you?
i was thinking of getting one, but right now i'm just leaving birdshit welds with my chinaman hf flux core welder.

Re: yeah just bought an oxy acetylene welder
 

havent tried it yet. still no striker or hood. great deal though. everything for 90 bucks. with victor torch and guages.

yeah the collector is super gay on this one. first one though.

and as for that fram. it was just there at the time to block oil from draining. never used it with the fresh motor.
and its still isnt boosted so im not in too much danger. yet.

Wix/Pureolator (same thing) Or denso filters.

brush those joints well like a whipped n¡gger before you finish welding it to make em prettah...


And its alot easier to weld the runners if you break it back apart right when you get the runners oriented for the collector. make sure you don't forget that and weld the collector or runners on. ;)
