Quick welding question for the knowledgeable..

Times may have changed, but when I was a welder/machinist in the Air Force it was pretty much thought that everything contaminates the weld. We use to wire brush the hell out of everything.
 
No.. your right.. I was just hoping for the impossible I guess.. ;)

I have a fair amount of MIG experience on steel but aluminum is a new world for me
 
Well the design I have is utilizing Jaguar adapters and I have the machine shop making adapters for the adapters.. 4 tubes on each side will run to a piece of rectangular aluminum.. This is where the main air is fed..

Here is the whole process from SC to cylinder.. Compressed air leaves the top of the SC and splits to each side.. Each side runs through it's own intercooler and then gets routed to that rectangle piece of aluminum.. From there, the air is fed to each cylinder..
 
Thinking air coming out of SC to one side then down to one big front mount air/air intercooler then come up and split in two ,to feed each side box.(each box has 4 runners in it)like you mentioned. Much less complacated. The KISS theory.
 
This way, I can eliminate relocating anything.. Once it's on there, it will be like a ohh wow factor..

Machinist ehh.. Do you build them? I would rather help a member of the community
 
Those water/air setups gonna take lots space. All the tanks lines pumps thick coolers in a tight LS engine compartment OH MY
 
I can pretty much fab anything. I have made alot of turbo intakes for the 4 cyl crowd. Thats flanges,runners,inj bungs,plunum,TB mount.
 
Let me try this again.. I don't think I will need a reservoir because it doesn't get hot here.. I will, of course, monitor it and if it is consistently high I will add one..

The radiator should be smaller than a air/air
 
Are you gonna run 1 large heat exchanger to feed both logs with one pump? This stuff takes up so much space just wondering. With the low boost your gonna run( I can't see you running more then 10 psi with high LS comp) I myself would just run air/air inter. No tanks pumps lines intercooler logs(2) Heat exchanger. All that stuff cost money. Plus I hate trusting a elec water pump. Just one intercooler.
 
Yes for the 1 heat exchanger
Correct on the boost.. Maybe 9-10 PSI MAX
I won't have the tank, pump will be behind the bumper close to the heat exchanger..

I'm all for spending money to be different.. ;) Right now, I have about 1k into the project.. I expect with the water/air and SCT to be around the 2,300 range.. The 'logs' will be next to the SC in a fashion that they will be turned at the same angle as the VC.. Idk, it should look pretty cool on the car
