  1. Got a question for all you tech heads out there.

    Does anyone have any pics or diagram of a 1 into twin pipe setup? I've got the pipe and want to fab but unsure of how to get 1 pipe into twin pipes.. they are all the same diameters. I've sat with a bit of plastic pipe to try to get the angles but I can't seem to do it! :\

    You can buy 2-1 collectors.

    Or notch to match and weld it up you self. Hard to explain, you just got to sit down and try it.

  2. Just thought some might like to see the gearbox mount and engine mounts I made for a RB20DET in to a BMW E36.

    For more detail on the swap go here. http://www.eurocca.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17736

    Started by making a plate to join the two and tacked together.

    Once I had it tacked I pulled it out and boxed it in.
