Curious, why the 2.35" pipe, was it the cheapest you could get or readily available? I'm guessing so just wondering
BTW sorry for my english. |
it may be a bit on the small side, I think 2.5" is a good start, but at least it will get you down the road. Don't worry your english is fine, better than some of the newer member's english

I've got it for free from a friend of mine who used to run a similar setup. Do you think it's small?
BTW sorry for my english. Your english is fine, even better than some of the people that show up here who only speak english. EDIT: Dang, beat to it by mazda/nissan this time. |
Yes it is a weird size, but here in Greece the common sizes are 60 , 63.5 , 70mm
Thanks for the support about my usage of the language! |

Thanks for the support about my usage of the language! Maybe someday down the road you will benefit from upgrading, but i wouldnt worry about it for now, make sure to take lots of pictures. |

for up to 200hp he should be fine with that size, it's probably a 2.5in outer diameter anyway.

+1. Free parts always work better. :) Nice looking build. More pics would be cool. I'm guessing that's JB Weld or something similar on the drain? I see many people do that. I might do the same.
It is some kind of high thermal resistance glue. Dont know much about it, except of the fact that works fine! |
JB-Weld is a mechanic's best friend :giggle: EDIT: Except for a BFH.

Yeap!! That's it! I hope it lasts...
It should never go bad for what you are using it for. And that is what FM advises you to use. |

Lol, we could make a thread on things fixed with JB Weld... Seriously. It's really great stuff. Saw a car where they cracked the oil pan on the automatic transmission. Cleaned it, siliconed it to stop the leak, and JB Welded it. 3 years later they sold it. Still see the car running around once in a while.
Yeah I'll probably do this to my pan I guess. I don't want leaks, that's for sure. |
