to make yer own endtanks, just measure very carefully, and cut out cardboard and use the cardboard to make a template to cut out on sheets of aluminum.
get it all welded together with a low temp welder and your in business! (for added looks, a wheel shop can polish the tanks up for cheap)

it was tougher making tanks on the audi intercooler cause the tanks arn't a perfect rectange, they kinda angle back in a diamond shape.

here is a pic of the intercooler once the endtanks were finished, damn i miss how clean it was.

how efficient is the audi core? have you had any heat soak problems?

Re:looking for an fmic
 

i live in canada, so i can't really talk about heat soak very much, all i can say is it keeps the engine cooler than without turbo.

Hey TurboDan, what kind of sheet metal did you use and where did you get it? ANd what kind of welder did you use? And where can i find such welders?

Re:looking for an fmic
 

a tig welder will do the nicest job but im sure a mig welder can be used. a mig is justa standard exhaust etc. wire feed welder.

Re:looking for an fmic
 

i seen a welder at Walmart ;D Yes! I shop at Walmart. haha. And i've seen a welder for $100. And was wondering if that is a mig welder. How do i know if it's a mig welder or not?

Hey 89 CRX Si, Are you still down for the trade?

Re:looking for an fmic
 

maybe only i gots no money right now for shipping costs. :(

A mig welder is wire fedd. it has a tank ok gas and a gun looking handle with a button on it. A arc welder has a stick which clamps a piece of rod in it and you touch that to the metal and it arc's and welds the rod material on it.

mig welder would be about 500 cdn and arc about 200 cdn ...

you might be able to do it with an arc welder with the right welding rods. Ill check
