On second thought, those slightly under 2" alum pipes I have a pic of above were probably a waste of $20. Got to slow down here. The 3" pipes have close to 8 sq inches of opening whereas those...

I hear you on the welding skills. I wish I'd learned how when I was 16.

I'm two weeks into a CC welding class and I'm digging it. I'm taking the TIG track but the first few weeks cover an...

I've abandoned my hair-brained idea to try to use copper to plumb in an intercooler. I was looking at the boneyard for used ICs and found a couple of Saab 900s with ICs and plumbing intact. The ICs...

How many Cal. emissions devices are on your engine? My poor car was purt near an orphan. I know nothing of its history -- whether it's a Cal car or not. It does have an EGR device but I'm not...

Hmmm... shows what I know. Thanks for the heads up. No need buying a used one if it's going to add more trouble than it will eliminate. I'll look closely at one at a boneyard and see what I can...

I take your point. We've started some TIG welding in my class already and it is tricky, all right. What size electrode did you use on the alum box around the IC? I'm hoping I can get some kind of...

Ridge's job is impressive but I'm not sure I have the facilities to go that route myself.

Does tinkering with the Alda valve increase fuel availability? When I first got my 126, it was way gutless off the line. Then I found out about the Alda adjustment. Mine still had the little hat...

One thought I've been having on the Air/Water setup would be to have 2, maybe 3 (space permitting) motorcycle radiators with fans behind the front bumper. Would probably need 2 or 3 water pumps with...

By all means, take some welding classes. I'm taking one now at the local CC and I wish I'd learned it when I was your age. But, no time like the present.

I should have known that. I'm a construction dude, carpenter mostly, but I'm a half-fast plumber too and you have to use di-electric or brass fittings in between copper and cast iron piping. Same...

Good advice. I'd like to take some comm. college courses in welding. Yeah, I think that IC on craigslist was a bit spendy too, and probably too big to easily use. I'm sure I can find something...

I'm pretty green with MB compared to you guys. I'm trying hard to catch up though.

It looks like you were able to rotate the turbo about 90 degrees to make for easier access to the port. Is...

Ah, I couldn't see the water ports on both sides of the IC. Makes good sense.

Hate to be so ignorant but I'm not familiar with an evaporator. Is it part of an AC system?

You gonna put the other radiator under your bumper? There's a bit of room behind the lower part of the bumper that gets air flow -- perhaps not as much as it would get in front of the bumper.
