I did exactly that to make a stainless exhaust but I only tacked it and took it to an adult to tig. The tacks were fine appeared no different than tacking in mild. I did have a little go and apart from blowing the odd hole it seemed fine, nowhere near as neat as tig mind but it worked for me. Gaza Gaza

Have you considered water/methanol(windscreen washer fluid) injection? Gaza

Larger Intercooler = Higher EGT's ???
66gaza replied to cieranc's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Put your boost gauge back in and a before and after comparison might be interesting. Are you sure you are not just enjoying the extra power? If you are getting better acceleration and less smoke the bigger intercooler must be doing its job. Put a new air filter in and a new fuel filter as a slightly blocked fuel filter reduces fuel pressure and by default retards timing slightly which increases EGTs. Your tickover EGTs are low anyway.

Welcome, excellent introduction. I have your Dormobile site bookmarked. Gaza

Injecting windscreen washer fluid (water & methanol) is also known as chemical intercooling. Gaza

Thought it appropriate to post about the excellent customer service by 4allfours. I have a set of sumo bars that are over 3 years old, I thought the threads were a little loose so emailed Ian at 4allfours who immediately agreed to replace them FOC all I had to do was send mine back for inspection. I received the replacement bars today. Credit where its due. Gaza

I think this is the same as the 1st ebay item listed fitted to a 110. This is the thread on ORRP.com where its from http://www.orrp.com/smf/index.php?topic=50194.0 . Its owner is GMC62LANDY who may be a member here too. As you can see he has had to go through the innerwings an a defender, I don't know if you have more room in a disco. Please keep us informed. The pic I want to upload is a bmp and this site wont let me upload it. I am at work so can't convert it but its on the thread I have linked anyway. Gaza

Cret do you mean an egt gauge? water injection cools the intake charge which makes it more dense, exactly the same as an intercooler. Shouldn't be relied on though as it may have ran out when required and doing that too many times will if EGTs are too high require a new exhaust manifold at best. I agree with everything you are saying, alot of people use petrol tuning vocabulary on diesels and it does not apply, detonation and lean being two things. For every degree you can drop the intake charge you will drop the EGT the same amount, water injection is used alot in the states in diesel engines mainly in drag and sled pulling usually its washer fluid in various strengths for more power. Also used by some to keep egts under control whilst towing up some of the long grades. I personally think a bigger intercooler is the first step but after that then this is a good choice. BTW are you fitting a bigger intercooler? You must have the patience of a saint to do all that typing as just typing this has tested mine. Good luck, the EGT gauge is a must. Gaza

Done it. Gaza

I have just bought a set of superpro, I was after rear axle only (trailing arms plus A frame) and was quoted £110. They are currently on offer for £130 for a complete set, so naturally I bought a full set. I got mine from 4X4 mail order postage was free for over £50 and they turned up next day. Gaza
