Beautiful work. I just about built one of those separators as it looks like the bomb for getting dry air in a tight space, but our air is so dry here that my little Sharpe separator seems to do the trick. But I'm lacking the wall art that you have now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

There. I think that'll do it.

Thanks for your patience while I work through my OCD tendencies and finish the air system. Last steps are to run the lines around the shop (all the outlets are in place and ready) and test the system for leaks.

For those who may be curious, the main shut off is on the compressor tank. Note the brass disconnects that allow for the water trap to be removed as a separate assembly or be by-passed, if need be.

Soon, it's back to the 914!

@restore2seater - sure:

The 5-stage is:
• First Stage: 5 micron particulate filter removes water in liquid form as well as dirt, debris and pipe scale
• Second Stage: .01 micron oil removing filter removes oil aerosols and microscopic particles
• Third Stage: Desiccant dryer absorbs water vapor from the air, producing a -30˚F dew point
• Fourth Stage: 3 micron absolute filter filtrates desiccant dust
• Fifth Stage: Precision regulator reduces pressure to required level

And after this, the air line that feeds the plasma table gets another filtering with the assembly pictured. It's a mini version of the same thing. Plus, there's a swirly pot water trap built into the plasma cutter itself.

The plasma table's cut quality and consumables life are greatly impacted by air quality: dry/clean = better. And I'm obsessed, let's not forget that.

Brand new engine delivered today: Hyundai D4BF IDI (indirect injection 4 cyl turbo diesel)!
Smaller and lighter than the LS3. A bit less power, too, but way better fuel economy.

A bit less power.


Yea, Less than a 1.7...
Step away from the beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) and the youtube channel. It's not all good...

Now, drop that in an MG and you'll have something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

OK, OK, I'm not putting a 90hp diesel in the 914. It's a replacement for a buddy's Mitsubishi Delica 4WD van. We're doing the swap in a month or so.

But for now, let's get the flares on.

Not Ti, but I did try to order some transparent aluminum. They said it was back-ordered. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Looks like I'm stuck with the steel versions I have...
