If it works real well I am sure there will be time to make them for everyone.
but we need to finish this and get it tuned up and see what type of preformance we get. This is a first time so we leaned a lot along the way.
And the good news is they go at cost + beer for teamates ..................:thumbsup:
Only catch is you have to help ....... :clapping:

Have a little update on our project. Unfortunatly I could not be there in person but all is well with me and Tom's first SS build and I am sure D will be thrilled. After having trouble charging it thinking we were out of refrigerant we now think a shrader valve may have been stuck ........ Rookie mistake and although I did this type of work for years I have been out of the field for many as well. but turnered out to be no biggy.
Any who we listened to a lot of advise from some of the best builders in the buisiness.
We started out with 11' of cap by recomendation. This proved tp be way out as superheat was through the roof. after cliping off 4' to make it 7 things started to look better and this SS was on the right track. At the end of the day the cap tub ended up being only 5.5' long so our initial length ended up being in left field. Me and Tom discussed this for some time on the phone tonight. All we can come up with that would have everyone so far off includuing ourselves is the Kale stepper evap has less restriction than the par for the course Chilly one that most are using. Logic being les restrictive evap need less metering length as it seemed the Compressor was starving to death. But being the first build this is hoever speculation. Mabee one of the veterans can exsplain better than I ... nuf said
Evap temp bare naked -72C
Evap idol -55C
Evap under 300 load tester -46C
Evap under 32M load -52
Evap under 1024 load - 49
I for one am thrilled with the results for the first one.
Time will tell once D has it and puts it through the ringer so there it is
Weekend with the bro's has come to it's logical conclusion with one woop ass SS
Pics as soon as I cann get them
I would like to thank Tom's HVAC dude for stepping in for me for the final charge as they are 3.5 hours away
It was a blast and next time the North East connection get's together we hope to be in the LN2 pouring section and I am hoping some more of my old and new team mates will join in the fun for the
North East Connection # 2 Bot destruction weekend

Roger that ... Gunner has the new rev 2 Koolance and D has a rev 1 and a Koolance GPU pot .... I will be getting Tek 6.6 very soon
Hopeing in time to be competetive for the tech station contest ....
so we have some pots to roll with
But you are good to go...... bottom line everyday of the week flip a switch for Sub Zero is hard to beat.
Me personally will never be with out one again as they make abusing 3D almost too easy ...... and do respectable at 2D , that is my single stager anyhow ......
I still want a pot for some 2D action though ......

Another update from da Gunner on the SS
Looks like my dumb ass had a leak and now losing charge.
Simple enough fix and actually is the best case problem there could have been.
A bum compressor or contamination would have been worse ....
looks like I will have to brush up on my skillz a bit for the next one......
But it is in good hands as Gun is very thourough and will test this beast under exstreme circumstances before sending it out to D ..........
I feel pretty bad now that the hold up is all my fault but I did my best on it.
D will get a wicked SS as preliminary tests have this thing running colder than mine, maintaining it under load. I think this is where the 1.25 rotary comes into play...
I will post more results as they come in from gun ............
