Looks good..
Re aluminum difficulties magnesium is about 5 times as difficult becuase it is so dirty.. Used aluminum is also not easy.. Make sure it is clean and it will aid in quality. |

I'm self taught with youtube, the biggest thing I learned so far is if you contaminate your electrode just stop, snap off the fouled bit and regrind. 2nd is slow down and let the cleaning action work before going for a puddle. Still working on feeding the rod through welding gloves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

I do for stainless as its a much slower process feed wise as the welds are much smaller. |

I see a lot of guys don't wear a glove for the filler hand, part of that makes sense on light AL as it doesn't run wide open. But I still don't like all the UV rays, so I think I'll try a light weight glove and maybe cut a couple fingers out. I'll have to remember not to pick up a hot piece with my filler hand...but I imaging the learning curve is PDQ on that. |

The best is when you have a student bring you a weld that was just welded on and lets you pick it up with bare hands.. Ouch.. Also look at buying a Tig finger they work nicely .. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Sounds awesome! Good job Mark! I was hoping to hear /watch it while you drive, but oh well your hands were full. Thanks for a little morning motivation. I'm going to pick up my six from Chris's house today!

I try to remember to take a vid driving, actually I did take some driving footage, but I guess my old cheap camera and small SD card only has a minute of storage.

Well it looks like I'm going deeper into the rabbit hole...I just acquired a fuel injection system.

SDS EM5-6F ECU
programmer mixture knob 2 bar map sensor (will need a one bar MAP for my NA engine) 57 cc Siemens injectors/harness crank pulley set up for signal, (IIRC it's a GoingSuperFast pulley). hall sensor 12 custom length Beru wires distributor block off plug IAV (not sure if this is for fast idle or AC) wire harness c/w relays (fuel pump, plus two more programmable relays) 1 wire temp sensor intake air temp sensor coil packs (X2 for twin plug) installation/tuning manual But what I do need is a intake, so it either ITB's, a 3.2 plenum or something custom made. I'm likely going to do a plenum system, so I don't have to run in AlphaN. Plus I'm getting old, looking to quiet down the intake a little. |

With all the skills I've seen displayed, I'm surprised you haven't made your own ITB's. Some stellar work dude.
