The intercooler, plug the holes and pressure test it with compressed air in the shop. Use a tire valve to add air. This will test your welds and keep you from having down time at the track.
Good idea for sure but also fill it with water first because ideally you want to charge it above the boost you’ll expect to see and of it explodes with only air it’s basically a bomb
@@travisschulz6342 Good point! Sometimes water doesn't squirt. I was thinking of 30 PSI and dunk it in a tank of water. Someone in Texas proved the bomb part with his 4x4 Cuda.
Nice one bro i hve eg6 turbo swap h2ba7
There is a reason they don't make square air line or square air tanks they are round for a reason!!! If you put to much pressure to it those flat sections are going to bow out
@@krazyphucker369 Are you trying to make a retired engineer laugh or are you serious?
looks good. If you do stainless make sure to purge the inside of the pipe to avoid corrosion and wipe your pieces with acetone before welding.
amazing building all that for first day with a tig 😎when you are new to aluminum try less torch angle so you aren't putting too much heat ahead of where you are welding so like 90 degree to work. once stuff gets a little thicker and bigger like first welding pieces that are cold try waving propane or map gas torch over it for couple of seconds to preheat it then it takes less initial heat from the torch into that one spot to get the puddle started. if you don't have a torch switch, try putting the machine on the switch setting so the pedal acts like the on off switch and see how you like that without having to pump the pedal. another tip if you hand is shakey try holding the torch around the neck like a pencil the is no real reason to hold it super far back. Also for the anodizing....the tig has whats called a "ac balance control cleaning action" this is the white mark you see around the weld you can adjust this and it will help remove the anodizing. If it is really problematic anodizing you can even try light no weld passes like wave torch over the edge of the tube and it will help clean the anodizing off
I'm proud of you bro ..
For finally tiggin ...
Goin for it.!
You will never look back. ❤️
Glad to see you progressing as a fabricator. Prep work goes a long way when it comes to a tig. You are doing really well. Can't wait to see what you can do in a years time.
The new video format is awesome. I'm really enjoying all the content. I'm really glad to see u using a tig welder now, and ur working off a table and not the floor. Keep it up, Preston!
Thankyou!!!! I had the same result on my welds. Then it works great. Can't wait to see the next vid.
Before welding on aluminum I always give it a good belt sand, a stainless brushing & an acetone wipe down with kimtech wipes. Depending on how clean the material is when I get it, I might start & end with an acetone wipe down to prevent oils and grime from making its way onto my sandpapers & brushes.
I’m rocking the PRIMEWELD also! Will be fabricating intercoolerpiping today for my turbo civic :)
Cheers!

A seal is a seal,they are not factory but you sealed the deal. Like the honesty in your work always have, great job brother
Nice. PRIMEWELD is a good choice. Learning on that too!
Key to TIG is clean clean clean. Acetone in a squirt bottle and shop towel paper towels go a long way to cleanliness. Also get dedicated metal brushes for cleaning, dont want any steel contaminates on aluminum cleaning supplies. . Crap aluminum that's been oil soaked will never ever weld clean.... so happy you got a tig though... less splatter and the options are much bigger now.
It’s great to see the progression. You will be welding like a pro in no time🤘
There's a difference between welding a foot and welding a football field, He'll get there.
so, ima call it. the boost is going to crack the welds somewhere... there is just to many spots to call out. but chances are it will. great video still hope all works well tbh.
Looking good. The more you use it the better you will get 👍👍
Good stuff Preston. I bought one last year while I was down from Covid that does MIG, TIG, ARC & Plasma cutting. 😎👍
Well done on your first twelve hours doing the tig , anyone who does this well & has a working cooler in such quick time deserves a big 👍's up.
Doing real well Preston! Always improving your skill set!
You are a very determined individual with lots of talent. I know your journey will take you far. Great attempt for your first time. 👍❤️🇨🇦
U can always put a fan on intercooler to help moving the cooler air true it
In drag racing intercoolers are more heatsinks than like a radiator. The aluminum is much cooler than the charge air so it cools it down and you won't heat soak it in a drag race. Also, glad to see you adding aluminum tig welding to your skills. It is addicting and now you will constantly me shooting for top level ability.
Been following the channel now for years. I’m catching up on the videos. Happy you finally got a tig! Looking good 👌🏼🤙🏼
Def. dont need a BOV. Esp. if you re trying to save weight. Many OEM turbos much smaller than yours (turn more RPM) run for 100k++ with no issues. I haven't run one since 2012. Lots of 8 sec passes, several vehicles. Good luck!
You made a good choice on welder my friend I've been happy with mine for the past two years and I even added a water cooler to mine so I can weld aluminum for as long as I want!!!!
I have that exact same welder, and it absolutely rocks! The only thing I don’t like is the values for each setting are a bit unclear.
"Idiots with TIG" sounds like some sort of Sitcom
Great job and love the progress on the J
As an added option you can do an intercooler sprayer. NOS or CO2, it would drop temps even more by increasing the efficiency of the intercooler. Methanol injection in the pipe could be another option. Living in TN we have hot summers so fighting heat is always a biggy. I have buddy’s that run methanol in the charge pipe to keep temps down, on everyday driving options and if you don’t want to fork over for straight methanol you can use blue washer fluid.
Love what your doing with the car, IK your going to do good this season good luck!
Tip for TIG welding the better you prep the material you are welding the better your welds are going to be and on the intercooler piping take some fine sand paper and scuff the part you are going to weld then take acetone and wipe it off really good before you weld it and if you have the pieces to do it with you should back purge the aluminum intercooler piping and you can always take aluminum foil to cover the ends with as long as you have the hose to back purge the pipe and of course the extra acetylene gas to use to back purge it and that will also help clean up your welds especially on aluminum
The white around edges of your welds on the aluminum is called sugaring and if you back purge your welds it will get rid of that
All good til except for the acetylene part acetylene is higly flammable it what we use in a acetylene cutting torch
Better use argon
The best part is the size of that intercooler isn’t bad .. the fact that it’s 6inches thick does just fine
That's really good work for your first day. I took a similar approach with my car. I just bought a welder and didn't focus too much on how the result looked, just whether it was air tight. Your welds are about like mine lol.
It’s pretty impressive that you went straight to welding aluminum. Not bad for just starting out. You’ll be dropping dimes in a week.
First TIG welds, straight onto aluminum and brave enough to show it all on camera? what a legend! - if you're welding like aluminum like that on day one, your gonna find welding TIG welding steel so easy! bet you quickly become a lot more picky about good fit up and clean material though! 😆
New skills and materials unlocked, awesome 👍
bah! a bag of ice and a leaf blower is all you need for the inter cooler, if you are worried about temps. shes going to boogie!
Hell yeah Preston. You did great your first time. You'll be laying down dimes after you get all that figured out. 😁👍
I took to aluminum fine right off, stainless im getting better at but its been a pita for me to get adjusted to and it to look presentable. Not many folks would show their learning welds anyway, you described what was wrong with your beads so you are aware of what needs adjusting. Keep at it man wont be long you will be stacking dimes instead of quarters🤣
Cant wait for more aluminum and stainless tig welding videos
We made it! Awaited the tig for so long
Almost 100k Preston!
You guys are really stepping it up. Looks like a weight plate might be next.
For welding 12 hours thats nice! BUT TIME MENA TO UPGRADE YOUR ROLLCAGE, now then you dont have a hold together car.....🤔🤔🤔😉😉😉😉
I like it it's going to be good for what you want
I was just thinking I haven't seen a garage idiots video for a little while and suddenly here it is 😁
Love watching the only guy on youtube that uses a mask while grinding
Dude haha I do so much of it I don’t want all that dust in my lungs, I’d be in trouble if I didn’t
@@GARAGEIdiotS Im proud of you. I always mask up myself. I see these dudes no mask alot and it freaks me out.
Yes !! New shop toys !!
I got a primeweld few months back also love it good entry welder. Just practice and practice. Love the content ❤
Scratch pads and Acetone everything will help you alot with dirt
Well the efficiency of the turbo will determine how much intercooler you need. I think it's great either way because your trying and doing.
Proper cool! Well done you!
The mighty car mods guys just posted a video that included how to remove anodized coating off aluminum with oven cleaner. Check it out. May give you more material to work with in a pinch.
I'm always the nice guy! I think y'all are doing a great job! Keep it up.
Preston got new toy! A tig welder! Tig weld the intercooler good! Let's see what happens.
Always use acetone, and oven cleaner will remove the anodizing
I love welding aluminum
Nicely done
For DIY’rs at home. Where do you buy sheet metal? Aluminum, etc…
Keep practicing its the only way to get better. Proud of you homie!
hey preston. thanks for the vids! this weeks presentation of prestons prodigious prestidigitation is in need of viewing so im off to do my part..again thanks for yours.
Super happy for you glad you finally got your self a tig welder keep thoes videos comeing💪💪💪
How burnt were your forearms after welding that intercooler ? Haha. Good ol TIG tan. Need to wear some sleeves or something over your arms.
Already commented, but I gotta say I’m excited to see what you’ll build with that tig
Make a ram air passage into the intercooler and it’ll be streetable. What you’re missing isn’t surface area it’s pressure. If you seal off the area around it you should be able to get away with such a thicc boi
Great idea!
I would love to see a video of leak testing this innercooler looks like u did pretty dam good for just starting to tig weld just curious how many pin holes / leaks it has
I think you should try to colour anodize that pipe. That could be a video its self.
Practice Practice Practice and practice makes perfect. Keep up the great work . Do you know anyone that can smoke test it for you to make sure you have a closed system .
boost leek looks like you didn't weld the to cores together where it matters the most
You keep saying there are welds of beauty, but all I see are welds of poopie... Just kidding, a valiant first try! :)
Haha 😂
Really good job just keep trying 👍🏻
Tje absolute best channel
My intercooler has never looked better :)
You guys must come from a Great village as you were raised well.The 'buzz' from the new welder sounded so much better than the mig stutter you started with.Please paint the stuff as almost none of the fans want to see you polishing your pipes...
Looks great, let the test speak for themselves.
He'll yeah man!
I was just asking if it was mig welding you were doing. I didn't mean any Disrespect man I just asking because I have a project cb7 and I'm a use a mig welder buy see yall stepping it up.
You didn’t offend me haha there have been far worse comments, you’re good dude, mid weld away!
@GARAGE IdiotS cool cool. Just watch your build because I'm doing a mid engine j35 in a cb7 Just waiting to buy a harbor freight mig welder Just to start the project. Vol watching yall idiots! Lol
Why you not cutting with oscillating tool?
Forgot to clean the material first with a scotchbrite and acetone
dont let internet keyboard warriors get you down.... at this stage as long as they are functional thats what matters... finess and "pretty" comes with parctice and experience😁
Once comment I will make, hard to tell from the video... if cleaning Alu, make sure you use a flapper disk/cutting disks in the grinder that has only ever been used on Alu... otherwise you risk embedding steel chips/dusk and contaminating the Alu from other work.
Preston practice makes no one's that perfect TIG welder right out of the gate if you know how to mig you can learn how to tig!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎
It is awesome to see you growing and learning, What ET goals do you have in mind when this is all finished?
9.9-9.6 hopefully
"That's dangerous" 🤣 bro the ground prong isn't electrified
Ohhhh hahahahaha good to know 😂
@@GARAGEIdiotS also meant to tell you, if you wanna remove the anodized layer from aluminum, soak it in oven cleaner. Make sure you don't soak it for too long though, cuz it can eat through the aluminum as well as the anodized layer
I just came to talk SMACK about your welds! 😆
I’m ready!!
Think of welding like painting. The better the prep work the better the outcome.
What are you guys going to do with the Chevy II Nova?
I can see in the future 🤣🤷🏼♂️ how much self control did it take to not tell it when i said last vid that it would be a good investment to learn how to tig 🤣
Yeeee Buddy
I disagree the interccooler is so thick with such small face for air to flow thru that the air going from front to back will be getting hot therefore making inter cooler not efficient for any run. However good work
Do you a link for that gig welder
rad guys ... i need to do this myself as im still flux welding lmfao , its ugly af but holds and a old head that usta use the oxy and acedaline torches to weld with say a gringer and paint will make you the the welder you aint lmfao and i have lived by that since lol ... peace n love guys keep it rad stay safe and build on ... ps i am curious as to how the stacked cores are gonna do with air flow throu them for cooling and flow throu is any boost pressure loss from side to side ... that were my brain actually working for efficiency lmfao not that i am efficient but i know what it is lmfao peace out guys keep having fun n besta luck this season i hope i am ready to compete aswell but time tells all n e ways l8z guys
Throw rad fan on the intercooler if even need 🤷♂️
I like Hondas.
Saludo desde PR 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
In to watch this disaster happen 😂
Sorry bro but yes way to big for that turbo and them welds bro lack city cuz you have a long way to go with them welds my bro ✌
Obviously haha 😂
let your welder cool for a bit after you turn it off.
before*
Talk to a pro welder and see what they call clean aluminum and work from their !
"Im thicc as F' boiiiii"
No one expects you to be an expert instantly, on average an expert takes 10,000 hrs to become a master of their trade...remember everyone started with no experience! you will become as good as you want to be, it takes dedication!... keep truckin'!
INTERCOOLER THEORY: The one question to ask is: What is the correlation of Presser Ratio (boost), to Density Ratio (Oxygen Molecules in a set Pressure Ratio?
As there is an increase in PR there is also an increase in DR. But the problem is (OR SOLUTION!!), the increase is always at a different rate. Well, why?? Well, as PR increases, the OXYGEN MOLOCULES get hot. This is the math equation relation of temperature to Oxygen to set PR. But if you can decrease temperature a bit more, would gain an INCREASE the DR a bit more. So, this would increase the amount of Oxygen Molecules at the same PR. Well, .,. This would increase the amount of power AT THE SAME PR OF THE PREVIOUSLY DONE TIME, WHITHOUT SOLVING THE OXYGEN PROBLEM.
In the past I would do calculations on selecting the correct size turbo to match said motor at max rpm and shift points are at. To find the correct amount of fueling at a set RPM, and at set known PR, with a known temperature. You have to know this equation. I was building my own turbo system for a JEEP 4.0, set at a .6 BAR and I didn't want to blow my motor up.
YOUR DOING GREAT GUYS!!!!
Andarilho
I like soup
THC soup is amazing
got a recipe for that? 😁
@@subhumann Not for the soup but I got a killer mushroom pizza recipe, and it’s simple as sprinklings on some beautiful dried mushrooms to your favorite carry out cheese pizza and adding a some pepperoni, sausage and extra shredded cheese the rebake the pie at 400 to 450 for 6- 10 minutes and enjoy with the beverage of your choice myself I like champagne to help set the mood
Y’all weird. How come no one likes Taco Bell?
@@GARAGEIdiotS Taco Bell has terrible soup
