Air to Water Intercooler Welding Time Lapse (Start to Finish)

[@libertylifestyles3806]

I was 17 when jessie James got his show on the discovery channel. I'm 36 now and still want to learn to fabricate like you do. Super cool you share all you do! Amazing what everyone is accomplishing these days!

[@jpiccirilli]

Thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy the fact that you cover setting and set up to help those of us that don’t know this stuff

[@horsepowerranch470]

Thanks for the settings info. Cones in handy for the home builders for sure!

[@kennytree8801]

Thank you for your time & knowledge. Knowledge is power........everything you do is flawless, incredible talent 👏

[@jamesjarvis5638]

Yeah man thanks for the details your work is awesome and extra details help cuz when I do something close to what you're doing I can go back to your videos and find out how to set my welder cuz I don't know I'm learning

[@freeziefreeze5971]

Absolutely killer welds man!

[@blakechristopher6155]

Really awesome that you take the time to show the work and craftsmanship that goes in to your work. Fabrication is an art, and you’re pretty stand up to spread the knowledge. As a newer tig welder, your pro tips are absolutely priceless and I can’t say how much I appreciate it. Can’t wait to place my next order (universal front end for my TA) and continue to show my support for your business, and you’re channel. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@frediefarmer]

So glad I followed slick Rick to your channel. You are amazing.. I’m learning a lot just watching you..👍🏽👍🏽

[@shanebiggers8437]

I really appreciate you sharing advice with us. Love the videos.

[@mikemunro1169]

Been watching your videos for long time I appreciate you sharing tech . I noticed last video with the 350ext you mentioned arc start and I noticed similar issue . try adding a little pre gas flow it worked for me on a everlast mig tig combo machine .

Very nice work. I’m in the pwc field and I’ve been looking into a replacement core for the Kawasaki ultra 250/260 & 300/310 air to water intercoolers. On the skis the core is welded to a plate with slotted holes for the water flow and the piece is fitted and bolted into the case of the intercooler. It’s actually a huge intercooler in the industry of pwcs and is built very well except one problem. The cores eventually leak or they get to contaminated with salt, dirt and grime mixture and that mixture clogged and deteriorates the cooling fins. So you can clean the intercooler out from any oil that may have gotten into it but if it’s to bad Kawi doesn’t have a replacement for it neither. You have to purchase the whole entire thing and it’s kinda a waste bc the housing is totally fine. There is a couple companies that build AM coolers for Seadoo and Yamaha but don’t touch the Kawi. Idk why. Maybe bc the SD and yami coolers are bigger and better n the Kawi would be just a replacement so it’s not as cool? But I guess the hardest part would be welding onto the core itself without messing up fins or the cooling passages. My has certifications in mig welding and is getting more set up with his tig stuff so. I’ll have to have him check out this video and maybe one day there will be a replacement core for the kawis.

I love my miller 220 she does all right , definitely wouldn’t mind a water cooled setup . Will try the white tungsten tomorrow.

[@buiItnotbought]

I tried the white and 5356. Way easier than green and 4043 imo. But might be due to me never practicing aluminum before haha

[@michaelwahl9281]

White carries higher amps much better. Last longer and keeps a tip better than all others on aluminum.

[@michaelwahl9281]

Neat regulator set up. Like the on/off lever. I really like the high purity gas. It don't really weld much better long as you got fair gas to start with. Some times you get a bad bottle they don't vacume down good but that's rare.. The ultra pure probably be nice on the titanium tho. I still love running 50/50% mix argon helium an the aluminum. Glad you are liking your Everlast. Best bang for the buck. Like the arc start on the dynasty better but other than that the Everlast is compatible. You do some good looking work. Ordered a split 90 downpipe flange today off your site. Was going to build one myself but with the 15% off it's hard to beat and will save me some time. Really want to get a set of the billet collectors too. Going to run a set of kooks turbo headers for now due to time but plan to build a custom set latter on and will be picking up a set of the billets u sell. Thanks on the heads up about the matching ID on the vband recesses. Love the content on u tube keep it coming...

[@jakkuup]

Really would like to see your stainless setup!

[@vaughnstapleton2290]

That's some damn good welding bro

[@justin_parks]

Be nice to have a diy you weld it type intercooler. Can't wait for the sale to start so I can order a front end lol

[@latenitefab]

Nice video. What are you getting for this intercooler setup?

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

1100ish I believe on our website

[@AboutTheBuild]

Good job mate 👍

[@richgurley610]

Is your welder 3 phase ?

[@wecklt]

Is it important to start welding the water end tank before the air end tank?

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

We do this first so we can leak test it before we put the air tanks on in case we have to fix any pin holes

[@sdrKEL]

How are you not getting any fingerprints on the material handling it bare hand. I seem to always have that issue =(

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

I pick it up by the fittings lol

[@yunielalarcon2635]

Hello from Australia, in this system the water runs through where the air is supposed to run on a normal system? Thanks

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

The air passes through the core in which the water is flowing through and cools it down before going into the engine. Typically a tank is inside the car somewhere with a pump circulating ice water through it

[@yunielalarcon2635]

@@rocksolidmotorsports7297 thanks for replying, thinking to do the change to one of this ones

[@ProCharged377LX]

Amazing work AS USUAL!! Just curious why you buy the flanges from Race Parts Solutions when you are SO capable of making them? What beard oil do you use? Love the channel 👊🏾💪🏾

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

We don't have 100k equipment lol. We just have very basic stuff. Not worth trying to make everything when we can readily purchase nice stuff and keep rolling. The guys at RPS have been great to work with.

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

Also just normal wash, then a little pomade to keep it under control

[@DesTakeFlight]

Question is it possible to run air to water intercooler on street? For a street/ strip LS build

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

Yes but you'd need a heat exchanger to keep the water temps in check. Basically a secondary radiator for the intercooler system

[@goodfellasinc.5648]

Sorry but my Miller kills that I started out with that same one I just don't like after about 1hour it don't stay as hot and yes I thought it was my 220 or the Welder I sent it back got a new on I'll tell your this they didn't give me any trouble and they were fast but not as good as my Miller FOR ME Miller for life my friend good video..

[@terrellhubert5753]

What hp rating is that core.

[@mikelellsaesser1320]

I know this might be a dumb question, but is the pedal just a on, off switch or does do more then that. Can it control the gas and the setting by how far u push it down.

[@michaelglick1287]

The pedal controls the amperage.

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

On off and percentage of max amps set on the welder

[@jamesjarvis5638]

Man that was a great question I didn't know the answer to that either I'm glad you asked something my dad told me was the only dumb question is the one not asked how do you learn if you don't ask

[@centermass4962]

What is the song in your intro?

[@rocksolidmotorsports7297]

No idea. KZbin audio freebie

[@peatergriffin]

Awesome

[@timothygoodsell1446]

💯

[@godzuki2099]

Is it just me or that's a big ass A/W intercooler?

[@আবুবকর-ন১ধ]

cars looks like TVR
