Pre-CAC Mods

I welded fittings on the steel pre charge air cooler for the NO2 fogger nozzle, "hot side" dyno-boost gauge and post-impeller digital pyrometer; then I sprayed it with SS powder paint:



This will be a great tuning tool!

Here's a front view:



You can also see detail of the relocated AC condenser and how the rubber air baffle was deleted.

EDIT

Actually, that's not a very good shot of the relocated refrigerant lines, either!

Pics coming soon to a post near you...

This is on the other end of the fogger nozzle:



only thing is, it makes the argon, nitrogen, oxygen and acetylene bottles look pretty ratty....

Trust me - once you've got 3 decades of fabrication under your belt, you'll probably be doing even cooler stuff!

Thanks! I'll post more pics when all the lines are installed...

I would, but we trade them in every time for full ones... the nitrogen bottle is aluminum, but they transfill that for us.

THAT is too funny! LMAO
With your permission, I'll use that line as many times as I can with the customers! FAST, friendly service

Seriously, though - I figured it makes sense to drag race and sled pull with a service truck, so that when the Smarty, Quad Race, Helix 2, F3 sticks, H2O/Meth and NO2 are all running at once, if the expensive smoke escapes from inside the engine, I'll have all the tools and parts ready that I need to put it (the expensive smoke) back inside the Cummins ASAP, since I'll need the truck to get back home.
