    Still trying to figure out how to get arc shots on video properly. I'm getting closer. Need to put the camera in tighter because at tight zoom it's having a really hard time focussing and getting the exposure low enough. Looks much better than before though.

    I would be very very careful about this.

    The cause of the George Plasa crash was linked back to CNC spindles....

    I'm quite confident in Vollosso's abilities, and know there would be some FEA work done to support whatever design he comes up with. And the stress levels on that car compared to anything I'll ever get to with my car are on 2 completely different levels.

    What design limitation of the OEM spindles did you find?

    Not an argumentative question, just pure curiosity.

    Having to do some scary welding. Pulled the trigger in the extruded tube C&R rad I've been drooling over since I saw it at PRI but it needed a bunch of mods for my needs. Managed to do a decent job, not at the level of the C&R craftsmen but I'll take it



    This should be fun

    Wow, killer work on that radiator!

    Where did you get the intake manifold head flange? I've been thinking about doing that project too, but I'm not excited about creating my own head flange... That one looks like it could be the PPF one?

    Thanks!

    Yep, that's it, all from PPF. Really good stuff, the head flange especially. It's nice and thick and the runners curve away from the flange so the injector bungs point straight down into the ports, better than stock. All you need to do is glue it together and then figure out the plenum. I'm going to do something similar to the DI one. Going to be learning how to anneal 3/16" aluminum plate this weekend. Got a 90mm throttle body waiting.

    Yeah, I get it. Even just for the parts it's a pretty sizable expenditure. Your work is looking solid though, I don't think you need to be 'a skeert.

    Thanks man, I'm fairly confident I can pull it off I just have a vision that I think would be awesome if it turns out well so I'm anxious to not make it shit.

    Cost wise it's really not bad, even relative to chinafolds. Obviously a lot of manual labor but I want to do the work and I get to make it exactly as I want it, with the plenum style I want, intake runner length, throttle body position and size, vacuum references where I want them etc. It made me go on a bender getting rid of every last hose barb in my engine bay

    Fancy stuff must be expensive to go over the boarder. But then again you probably have some scumbag in the states shipping it to you as "damaged" goods to avoid the taxes ; )

    Yep, with the government trying to bite half of my ass off on everything, makes getting shit done a lot harder. Thank God for some high quality bastards who are willing to go the extra mile to help me with that!

    Experiment today was a success! Made the expansion tank in a way that I intend to make the plenum. Heated up the plate along where I intended to bend to anneal it. Rubbed soap on the other end as an indicator of acceptable temperature - something I read on the internets. I was using an infrared pyrometer from harborfreight to monitor the temps and I never saw it go over 700, rarely over 500. The soap turned black at an indicated 400ish. So I don't know if I really annealed it but it did seemed to bend fine and didn't crack which is what matters most. I think for the plenum I will just stick the pieces into the oven in a self-cleaning cycle which is like 800F and that's about where you want it to anneal.

    Then took it to a friend's shop with a nice press, with a thick angle aluminum piece and a 1" rod. Worked nicely! Then it was just a matter of gluing it all together. Burnt my fingertip good when I had the genius idea to hold the -4 fitting in position when tack welding. It's on the radius and I wanted it to be biased to wards being horizontal, I won't be heating it that long... mother trucker got real hot real fast.
