it would ve been easier just to cut off that endtank and make a new one with a rear entry inlet. looks like you made a headache out of that.

Re: charge piping: this shit is starting to get to be more and more a pita
i personally would want a break in the pipes so that i could use a few couplers to compensate for engine movement

I like fabbing up my own stuff myself too, but for the charge piping I tried a prebent kit from godspeed, got the intercooler/chargepiping for $300, it came with nice silicone couplers, and tbolt clamps, and man did it fit nice! I had to make 1 cut, it looks nice too.

Re: charge piping: this shit is starting to get to be more and more a pita
so anything figured out yet?

Re: charge piping: this shit is starting to get to be more and more a pita
the downpipe had to be lengthened about an inch on the vertical section as it was originally mocked up by the person who made it on a b16 block and not a b18 which has a taller deck height. also, i had to make an adjustment to the dump tube so that it wasn't going to hit the front engine mount... that was my fault, so no charge. he just brought down the block to get rid of the oil squirters as he is running an ls crank in a b18c block. if i'd had my camera at the time i would have done a writeup on it. i ended up drilling out the M8x.75 threaded holes (couldn't source any bolt that size on short notice) and re-tapped them for 1/8" NPT fittings that will seal just as well. they are thread lock tightened in nice and toight... just how mike likes his french women. >:D unfortunately the boys are off to montreal for the long weekend and won't be getting any wrench time until tuesday. they plan to have this thing racing at the next cscs event in 2 weeks. kinda tight timeframe i think since the block is still bare! :P
