Where are the pics? Was it that bad that they took them down?

We just finished polishing the upper coolant pipe.... from pie cut to polished masterpiece!!!





I think you will agree, it looks a ton better like this!

^ Luckily the one piece that composes the hot pipe is only about 10" long and takes such a direct path that it can't even be seen, but it will get polished anyway. For those who know how to proficiently weld (apparently nobody viewing this thread), you'll notice that the aluminum beads are doubled and there is significant cleaning zone. With full penetration like what we have here, the welds can be ground down completely since the seams are filled to their full cross-section and burred out from the inside as we go.

Can you perhaps post some links to aluminum compound bends in decreasing radius? Thanks!

If you guys are going to compare flow rates it would be nice to perhaps see some numbers from a bench to back up these claims. We would all be much interested to see side-by-side comparison...

Usually both can coexist, but when push comes to shove Function > Form.

Martin's toes can break anything that they touch. Closed toed shoes only make other things safer.

Cool

I am the owner of this nissan sentra. I would first like to thank z fever for this amazing build and compliment them on the great work they are doing for me. Secondly, as far as the pie cuts go..... I understand everyone may have mixed feelings on how it looks, but honestly if it works (function) then im pleased with it! I have seen the hondas ghetto rigged left and right, and thats onna everyday basis lol, but never has anyone seen, or even attepmed a build like this before in a sentra. Jus bcuz it is diffrent doesnt mean its bad. I trust zfever and Doug with the choices they made with all the piping.... I personaly saw all the piping in person, and I can assure it wasnt som bullsh*t quality like most ppl would use from ebay. Real car enthusiasts would drool over a build like this because of the customization and fabrication required to make it look good as well as function. And it will haul ass.... I made this build to go fast not to look pretty. pretty cars belong in a show room or garage, my car was built to perform on the track, not many ppl can say that....Thanx for everyones input, shout out to Doug....

Should have talked with the originator... Travis has bolt in kits anymore for this kind of swap...
