New IC is done!
If I could get someone to host, I would like to get these pics up on the forum. Or maybe someone could explain how I could post them?
All internal welds smoothed. PSI tested to 50 psi, no leaks. IC core measures 22"W x 5.5"D x 15"H. Unit feeds from bottom to top. Mounts off each side to mount on the frame rails, just aft of the hood hinges. Much simplified piping. 3" oval feed into IC offset to passenger side, 3.5" oval dischrge directly into TB area (requires bell to go from 3.5" discharge to 4.5" TB feed).
I have sent a bunch of pics to Bruce, but no luck to date.
Anyone want to host?
Thanks,
Aaron

Sorry Aaron
I got 4 pics from you Friday, for some reasons I would not able to see them. I emailed you and ask you to try to send it again. I have not see any other emails from you. Onr thing I know about my Road Runner cable internet. Some time people emailed me and it did not showing up in my mail box until few days later. Don't know why.

Aaron, that looks sweet man!....I need one like that for the 94. Where did you get the IC core material from? I see you have another big chuck sitting on the table so I assume you bought it in bulk from somewhere?

Needless to say, here it is.

The single largest limiting factor in my design on both flow and strength was the offset 90° turn 3.5" oval feed inlet at the bottom. This proved do be tough, but with a little creativity, I expanded the chamber and added a divider plate. There was no expansion at 50 psi, so all is well.

That looks real nice... great Tig welds... I would only worry about getting enmough flow to the radiator. Mine looks a bit like yours (except mine is only 3.5" thick) and air flow is a problem. I made a ram air box that fits to the front of the IC to direct air through it.. seems to help...
