I remote rear turbod a 1990 Suzuki katana 600 for real cheap. Made it to 12psi on a eBay Gt15 before I totaled it lol. Turbo was literally under the seat, full insta boost at 6k all the way to 12k and was an animal.

I want to rear turbo my 2018 ram 1500 but the damn tuner is $1200 by itself and requires a spare PCM bc the stocker is not hackable.

I would love to know how you converted the welder! I could really use a cheap aluminum TIG.

I rear mounted a 2007 triumph 675. I had mine as the under tail muffler more or less. Used a mr gasket fuel pump as a scavange pump. Worked great. Was lots of fun. Had Barnett make me a custom clutch for it as the stock one gave up very quickly.

Hmmmm. I bought that feed and return as a kit I think....i think. I honestly cant remember but I was almost 100% sure it was 10AN.

It was pretty straight forward. All you need is a heavy duty rectifier (100A/1600V) and a BIG capacitor (33,000uF-100,000uF). I picked up both on Amazon/Ebay. Snip both wires on the secondary side of the transformer and wire them to the rectifier. The output of the rectifier gets the big cap across it and a bleed resistor (~100 ohm 25W). You just have to pay attention to polarity. The ground clamp of the welder is connected to the POSITIVE terminal of the cap and rectifier output. Make sure you use heavy gauge wires/ring lugs. I set it up so the rectifier sits against the bottom floor of the welding case to dissipate the heat into the case. The only other note was that the secondary side of the transformer has an additional 2 small wires that come off the big ones to power the wire feed motor. I cut the transformer wires AFTER these so that I didn't boost the voltage to the motor. I'm no pro but this was right after the mod and NO cleaning. There was no splatter or slag, it was crazy compared to before.



I'm gonna bring the fittings by Rick, I'm sure he knows. I've never seen 2 different types of 10AN before so obviously Im missing something lol.

I was sad when the thread moved so quickly that my troll post went unnoticed

Post 11. I didn't ignore you pumpkin I said it was a T56 setup in reply to your post.

@TPIZ92 I stared at the 2 fittings and it finally clicked. Brain fart....its NPT off the turbo, thats why the 10AN won't fit So ill need to find what size NPT at the turbo flange is to 6AN instead of 10 and should be good to go!

lol i cant even get my wife to say nice things to me like that

usually the drain is a 1/2 npt, if you measure the ID of the threads i can tell you exactly tho

ID of oil opening is ~.7" and OD of the fitting that was installed is ~.825". Closest I saw on the chart was 1/2" like you said so guessing that's it.

My 4600 lb race weight truck went 11.35 @ 118 with a STS kit. gt 67 on a 370 ci motor. Everyone said it would not work and it would have to much lag. I had no issues with it.

Will do. Everything in the box yesterday looked good. Those pipes are serious thick wall stuff.
