- Welcome back to the Radial Runabout build series!
Our buddy Liam has dropped in for us his VP Commodore ute, and Kurt has a BUNCH of fabrication work to do on this beast...
Today we're getting stuck into fabricating the hot and cold side piping for the intercooler. These pipes are CHUNKY! You wont believe just how good it turns out!? An amazing job by our boy Kurt as always.

Total respect on the pride you take in your work, and for your customers cars. Extremely clean, hidden but mean.
Thanks for the kind words Keith. Liam is a good friend of mine, he's not a customer. All the cars on our channel are either ours or our friends. We're not a business, just a couple hacks playing in our sheds. Haha. I take my time doing the fabrication in the hope that it will turn out as best as I can get it. The cooler and piping turned out just how I wanted it to so im happy. Thanks for watching Keith!
great job! cheers
Thanks mate!!!
Love watching you guys work, you treat your customers cars like they're your own.
Thanks so much Hamish, We do treat our friends cars like they're our own. These aren't customer cars on the channel, just friends cars or our own. We're hoping to do more of our own stuff in the near future but right now theres some cool builds the boys are doing so we're helping where we can and enjoying the video making process as well. Thanks again mate.
@@TorqHub either way it's still great to watch, if you do start a business I'm sure you would do well considering how much enthusiasm and effort you put into the builds. Always going above and beyond to make these builds just that bit better.
Maan those are some sexy welds right there!! Really enjoyed this video! Love those plazmaman clamps too!
Thanks mate! The plazzy clamps are pretty neat hey. Its adds a substantial cost to the job to do a full setup like this but it's a nice result in the end.
Looking good boys
Thanks mate!
Looks really good with the bumper on, those welds look amazing and its nice to see Kurt getting more comfortable in front of the camera
Thanks Brad, all the pipework so far tucks away really quite well which is nice. Once it's all coated black it'll look even better we think. Thanks for watching as always brother.
Always love watching the updates, it’ll be real stealth when its black, not that anyone will see it from the back anyway
Stealth AF, nice work!
Trick pipe work Kurt!
Awesome fab work fellas!
That install 👌
Thanks mate!
Fire as always lads!!!
Thanks for the support mate
Nice work! Looking sweet!
Thanks mate!
Looks tidy, great fab work!
Thanks for the kind words mate. 👍
Yeah boiiiiii’s , awesome work , ur rides looking killer and can’t wait to see her go
We can't wait either mate! Still a ways to go yet. Plenty of time and money still required to be spent!!
Loving the channel guys! Excellent project and great tips/tricks. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching sirnemesis! We're glad you're enjoying the content so far.
Fab work is immaculate. Just came across your channel. Glad i did.
Just a couple questions.
What blade do you use in the drop saw
And what settings on the welder.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for dropping in dude. I just answered your saw question on the other post. But as for welder settings, this was welded a long time ago so can't be 100 percent sure but I'll list a general setting i use
Everlast 210ext tig
Advanced square wave setting
2.4 pink tungsten sharpened to a point (knock the tip off just a touch, it'll ball up slightly anyway)
1.6 or 2.0 5356 filler. I use 2.4 for fillets
80-100 amps on button using what I need with the pedal.
Ac balance around 33% cleaning action
Frequency at around 90-100hz for butt welds, and upto 180hz or more for fillet welds.
Just play with the machine and you'll find what you like.
Cheers mate
Kurt.
@@TorqHub thanks for the reply. Look forward to learning more from ya channel. Keep up the good work.
No worries mate, cheers
hey guys, at 01:27 is that an air filter coming out of your helmet there?
Yeah it's an "Adflo" unit made by 3M. Filters air and pumps it directly into the welding helmet. Keeps you cooler and keeps nasty smells and gases out of your face when spending long hours on the torch.
@@TorqHub makes perfect sense, I've never seen one before.. very cool.
Out of curiosity what mandrel bends did ya use for this ute? Mines gonna transition from 3.5” cold side to 4” with a 3.5” 180 off intercooler hotside in a vk Calais
We used plazmaman bends on this one with jnt spun reducer. They're my favourite bend to use for sure.
Bout to order tube just don’t want loads of waste, we’re the cold side pipes 90’s ya cut on the bend to achieve 75-80 degree?
I can't remember mate but if you have a look at the pipes, anything with no leg length on one side of the joint was likely a 90 that was cut down to desired angle. We had a mixed bag of bends on this job but it worked out good in the end. Don't forget you can use donuts for your tight stuff if room is limited as the bigger mandrel pipes in 180 etc take up a heap of room.
@@TorqHub
Thanks heaps mate
Yeah I’ve ordered a few donuts
Cheers man
Where’d ya source the 3.5 inch piping mate?
We usually get our pipe, mandrels, and donuts from JNT Performance or Plazmaman 👍🏻
Looks awesome, mint welder 👍
