Yea and its on a basemap. Chris is tunning it this weekend.

 

Nice build. I'll stick to a Full-Race setup for my car (if I can ever afford one).

ehh, they look ok....but id rather have a weld that looked like **** and was strong then the other way around.

 

those kinda of welds have good chance of cracking or leack over time. cause breads car on the surface, not melted down with the surface. oh what iam i kidding....what do i know..lol

 

Haha, you guys are just jealous. My next build will be an hmt one too, but with a forged engine so I can make full racing kiddies cry.

 

good stuff, I'll be turbocharging one of my tegs in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.

 

nice setup looks like my old civic gsr setup but the welds can be nicer.

 

ACK! whats with that charge pipe running across the radiator?

 

your charge pipe has a ***** on it.

nice install, good luck with that setup.

HMT builds may take more skill, but they just show what kind of skills you have. Obviously this guy can't weld.

x2... but A for effort and if it works, and if you never pop your hood to show off your small ***** who cares.

 

whoever said somethign about who cares how a weld looks as long as it is strong? well a good indication of strong welds is how they look, you sould have repeating ripples all the way around, not globs of crap that will cause problems, other wise this is what i think of yoru setup:

 

You guys are funny.

it was meant to blow. just let us know when it does.
page 2 ownage.

 

Yeah it is pretty hacked up actually lol, someone needs a tig welder + experience.

What exactly are these two pipes doing anyways?
And it also looks like you'd need to take them out if you ever took the turbo out.
