TORSPD: NEVR

66 amps. The speed is a necessity of the heat. I am still fine tuning my handy work, as I mentioned earlier. The higher heat (within reason, allows for full penetration while also having a small Heat Affect Zone. It is how I currently feel most comfortable.

As I become more seasoned, I am sure the welds will change, as tinkering evolves the skill.

 

i would lower the working amp range down from 66 to about 45amp should see alot of improvement with that. more heat and puddle control.

 

I'll give it a try. I was originally using about 56 amps.

 

Great job!! Can’t wait to see it all together.

 

Thanks mate! I'm in a rush to try to get it drivable by this weekend. Got some members and friends coming over. Having a mini mod day, and shenanigans.

 

^ for real...

I think I could make the drive in about a day.

 

C'mon gents

 

Drove from Roanoke to Houston once in a day. Not a good plan.

 

Cross country road trip, that time.

 

What's this about, and what are you up to this Saturday?

 

Well this saturday I got work 10a-4p So im free after that.
And that dude said he's workin on some exhaust flanges for the 5vz. I figured they would be a good starting point for a custom kit.

 

We'll still be modding and whatnot. Hit me up.

 

will do.

 

Header into merge is completed. Not as happy as I could be, but with people coming, over time being short, and parts on hand, this is done for now. Easy enough to remove and rework in the short future. Besides, perfect when I disassemble it all to wrap everything.

A dark picture, as it was well, dark.



The tight radius U-bend needs to be cut in the middle, and spaced about a 1/4".

That would give me a longer straight section to double slip, or v-band flange the tubing. We'll see.

What I don't have shown, is the bend into the T4 flange. That is 90% welded. Then once completed, the wastegate tube can be installed. As well as down-pipe routed.

 

Either @Biscuits or @loginfailed got a first startup video. Until that time, here is a smidge of eye candy.

 

Hey guys.
I've read back pretty far. Are most of you guys running standalone ecu. Are there any piggyback options out there.

Also do you guys think a td06 20g would be big enough for significant boost.

Torspd I love the ongoing build.

And just to clarify...

This whole turbo 1GR thing was originally all my idea.
