hahah mexico - technically still downunder from there

i'll give you a call the morning to grab your details

[boostin31]

no worries at all. Everything has been put back because it was confirmed this morning that my welder parts went to Mexico.....yes MEXICO!!!!!!!

Anyway, it might tie in nicely because I have a car coming down shortly that you may have some work from which you can take a look at while I teach you how to weld LOL....just messing with ya!

Yeah when I drop my car off to ariel, ill get him to weld some dash fittings to the rocker covers then if you wanna take the rocker covers, exhaust manifold, dump and rear turbo housing, Craved, and throw some of your coatings on them that would work out good!

Finally a bit of an update....have been flat out getting back on track after the purchase of a new welder. Only the surge tank and turbo flange have been done with the new welder.

Apart from plenums for 4G63, RB20, RB20 (in matt black ) , RB30, SR20, G200 I thought I would post up some pics of the kind of work there seems to be a bit of a demand for. The plenums aren't slowing down, I just put the word out there that I can do this kind of work and people seem to catch on.

Turbo Suzuki Swift GTI - weld exhaust manifold, weld fuel lines, build radiator end tanks and mounts as well as modified radiator support to mount it & intercooler piping

Intercooler for VL Turbo - it's one massive mofo

Welding of new new t3 flange to chinese exhaust manifold

Twin 044 fuel pump undercar surge tank for VL circuit car - coming soon for R32's :thumb:

To keep this thread going, I will have pics of the plenum work I have done recently over the weekend since they are being finalised for delivery.

Happy Welding,

Ariel

Come to Canberra and do my cooler piping and exhaust please

[ISL33P]

I have a CA18DET 1200 ute being towed up here from Canberra this coming week, you can bring your car up after that if you like and then an R31 (don't worry Joel, I thought I would squeeze it on before your car tunrs up

might just do that...need to get the thing running again first lol

[ISL33P]

have you got a car to tow it with? Trailer hire is pretty cheap these days

[zebra]

its my only car

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

Nice work Ariel !

Just curious are u mapping some of ur bends out of sheet ?

[ISL33P]

Dam.....what does it need to get running? Can I help out with it if it comes here?

Junkey (has a quite giggle) - you mean the end tanks for radiators and intercoolers? If so, no. Just measure them, draw it on the sheet and cut away

[zebra]

Just needs hotside cooler piping modified and a dump pipe...nothing major...and I dont think I'll be able to drive to the gong with and open turbine housing lol

[ISL33P]

you "could" I am going down to Canberra either this coming week or next week to check out another job so I might aswell come past and have a look at it and see how much i can do with some "templates" maybe enought to get it driving. If you like, pm me your number and I will give you a call when I am heading down

[zebra]

That would be great

[turboedsloth]

Some awesome looking work there. That undercar surge tank looks good, i have seen a few now a 32 one would be good to see. How are your new 26 plenums coming along?

[ISL33P]

I will be making one for the 32's as soon as I get mine back.

26 plenum is coming along, a little slower than expected but I will definitely have one installed in a car within a month and that's when the first pics will come out

Hey Ariel what's new mate ?

Just wondering do u think welding that t3 flange onto the eBay manifold would create a flow restriction or hotspot ? Maybe warping the flange or fatiguing it?

[ISL33P]

Considering the inside size of the flange was similar and honestly the customer actually didn't give a sh1t since it is for a junker, he wasn't fussed.

There was absolutely no warping, not when you weld it I like I do

Haha fair enough mate was just curious cause I need to do the same thing to one of my manifolds cause my turbo is t2 not t3 so really just after a second opinion of some that has been there before
