Followed by this message the next night...

And then today I received this !!!!

I already got the perfect place to put it too. 4 foot tall, 3 level steel cart on beefy wheels. Cascade will go on the middle shelf, benchtable on the top. Lowest level can hold random stuff like shop towel, torch refills, insulation, etc.

Im psyched :p

Very cool stuff ... can't exspand pics???

Me and a team mate are working on a in house design for an SS

not quite ready for two stage prime time yet ....

Yeah pics were received that small unfortunately.

I should have it on Dec 28th, when Jody (3oh6) comes down to my place for a bench sesh. Hope to have some 5970 lovin by then to bench. Of course a gulftown might be present also.... :D

howd you swing a gulftown?

that sounds like a lot of fun...

you should post up some pis and numbers of all that

two stager looks nice man ....

Nice.... Keep us posted. I still would like to get a phaser one day. If I were to dream it would be cascading.

Very nice :thumbsup:

Ruffus is a great guy, I bet he wont even have taken the full amount from you yet.......

Seeing so many project logs, makes me want to try building my own lol

Were doing a trade, Jody brings the cascade to me, and brings the parts to him. It worked out great for both of us

well the system is being vac'ed down as i type this msg so i am hoping to have some of the wirring done so i can start it to do the tunning and stuff then i will do the final wirring so i will post more pics later or i think i already sent the new pics to the oweners email so maybe he might post them but i am sure it should be done for the 28th but since there is no case i can not put in controllers so he will have to invest in K-type temp displays or a fluck or something i could get controllers but that would be another $100usd plus no where to mount them

Never knew you were a member here, whats up ruffus!

No need for controller, just install a k type probe in the evap head :thumbsup: I have plenty of k-type digi thermometers to read it.

Really nice man..You have a talent!!!!

For anyone interested, I would highly recommend ruffus to anyone for a build. Very trustworthy and responsive builder. He pretty much built the entire unit in a matter of a few days. He was working real late sending me emails at 3AM with his progress. Open and frequent communication.

This guy sure wouldnt screw people over, like so many phase builders in the past/present (chilly1, jinu117, etc).

Not much to update about. There was a very small leak in the first stage which was already fixed. The unit is fully brazed up and charging/tuning is beginning. I expect some frosty pics in the next few days!!!

Don't I wish I'd met ruffus sooner :Dizzy:
No sked givem bra :cool3:

Not much else to report yet. Still tuning the unit and working out the issues.

Frost on the first stage :D But a leak in the 2nd

I'm so jealous :(


Looks good man, can't wait till you put it to use :toast:

Frost is always a good thing, gotta love it. Leaks no so good.

Its all part of the process. I told him to take his time and get everything perfect. If it takes an extra week or two im willing to wait. But once I have it I dont want to have any problems

All I will say is that patience pays off.

Small update: Unit is leak free, and charged up! Holding steady @ -84, but ruffus is going to change cap tube size, and tune a bit more. -90 is the number! Were hoping for good news and delivery by the end of the month. Then... watch out :D

We are now officially @ about -102 idle. :D Maybe next week we will have delivery of this monster. Ruffus wants it to idle at approx. -105 so that under full 300 watt load will be -90 or better.

I wanted to add that this wasnt ever part of the deal. Just something he did on his own. I would recommend Brad to anyone needing a phase unit. Honest guy and good communication!

Thats good news kk, glad to hear you have a reliable builder on you're hands.

Where is Brad located? Anyway, this phase build looks promising. Monter????

ruffus is canadian and lives near toronto. Definitely a good guy and great builder. I'll probably have a two stage built by him since i can skip out on shipping and make the 6 hour drive to the border

sweet, I'll make the drive too! Only that it'll take me like 48 hours LOL

ok been a while since I updated here...ran into some issues.

unit would idle nicely but not hold any load whatsoever at any captube length. 2nd stage compressor needed to be swapped out he also changed oil I believe

too make up for the delay brad replaced with a 18k btu monster that should hold lower temps(!). He should know by Tuesday if all is well. If it is I am on track for delivery in 1-2 weeks !

good news! really have to work with good people you trust with these things and sounds like he is taking good care of ya. Should be beastin in no time bro

1-2 weeks :toast:

I forget, what was incoming again?

Can't wait to see this beast in action .............

Maybe you have it on time for the Dimas contest ..... :thumbsup:

Update from last night is very good news. One more cap tube reduction and recharge with dirty gas to see if it can hold full load. Then a vaccum and recharge with new gas and I should be seeing a CADE SOON!!!! :)

Awsome .... nothing like flicking a switch for instant sub zero

Yeah man im so psyched :D I got SO MUCH hardware to test thats been backing up...

i7 950, W3550, 2x E8700, golden E8600 Q822A435, E2180 good batch, E8400, i7 920... the list goes on hehehe

Dam bro did a Micro center exsplode at your pad or what ??? :ohcrap:

Well the unit was holding loads better after the new compressor but still some issues. The non floated oil sep is being replaced with a floated version, and Brads gonna hook me up with a free case for the wait :)
