Air to water intercooler build Part 1- [SR20det - Datsun 620]

[@zachgrote1418]

Big smile on my face watching this one! Your energy level and excitement was on a whole new level (even with the tig learning curve issues) and it's awesome to see. Keep up the good work!

[@PortysChopshop]

Thanks! Glad it came across as positive lol this had me struggling but gotta move forward!

[@robertmartinez7832]

Awesome job. Keep practicing on your tig. Don't get discouraged.

[@PortysChopshop]

Thanks! I have been getting a bit better and turns out a lot of that material I was using was crap lol.

[@zeoh4371]

Nice build. Getting ready to do a custom one on my genesis coupe and program it with a 12v plc for progressive pump speed,fail safes etc

[@PortysChopshop]

Sounds pretty rad!

[@italofalcon]

Awesome! Long time since your last video. Keep it going 👍

[@mchasev]

I know you’ve probably finished fabricating by now but are you cleaning the oxidation off the aluminum before attempting to weld it?

[@PortysChopshop]

I am finished fabricating but I still appreciate the feedback! I was cleaning it up, I think it ended up just being a really bad piece to fit up to, not thick enough.

[@B0RN2RACE100]

Just found this channel, good stuff. Also I think the BOV before the intercooler is a better idea to lower heat soaking, no reason to dump cold air, might as well dump it before it makes your heat exchanger work.

[@PortysChopshop]

That is a fantastic point! Thanks for checking out the channel 🙏

very nice. congrass...

[@datsun620bulletside3]

We should have a car cruise together sometime 😎

[@PortysChopshop]

You can guarantee my whole summer will be dedicated to cruising and enjoying this thing, getting to my limit of enjoying the build phase lol

[@datsun620bulletside3]

@Porty's Chopshop if you are ever in Las Vegas give me a shout

[@kawi1999jv]

Nice set up bro super clean

[@PortysChopshop]

Thanks!

[@dsmmonster]

Nice setup..!! I really like how it looks. How do you like the intake temperatures with the water to water intercooler? I’m planning to do that for my swap but I heard mix reviews with the intercoolers.

[@PortysChopshop]

Haven't monitored it but most oem manufacturers are going with water to air these days, if you have a sufficient heat exchanger it will work well!

[@datsun620bulletside3]

Very cool 😎

[@datsun620]

I have 2 620s what kind of price range would a sr20 swap be or would a ka24de be cheaper, not to smart but willing to learn how to install myself

[@PortysChopshop]

If it were my choice I'd go ka24de. Way less complicated and as much power as you'd ever need.

[@barnstormerr]

I'm a pretty good tig welder with steel, but dang, aluminum is so much harder!

[@PortysChopshop]

I hear that! I've been getting better but every practice session costs me money!

[@chrisknodel2315]

How much hp/boost are you able to have with all these parts in your build?

[@PortysChopshop]

This intercooler is rated for 350HP and 70psi. My piping welds would probably burst long before that. I've never dynod this thing and run with no boost gauge but I have a 10psi waste so I recon it runs at 10 psi.

[@GGPtaco__GC]

I want one with that same motor. Im jealous 😡😡😡😡
