oil breathers, the back pipe that goes from the fitting on the plenum to the black fittings that are on the top of the engine, on the cam covers, then to the intake.

aac valve feed. the 20-25mm pipe at the back of the engine that usually goes on a fitting just before the throttle body on the stock pipe. without this your cars idle wont be stable.

im talkin about the ic piping from tge plenum and im gonna have to weld something at the back for that black hose to attach to and for the other breathers im making a catch can to go where my battery is as my battery is moving to the boot

sounds good, just not much detail in your first post

what material did you use thats so thin? most alloy tubing i see is pretty thick

i'll put up picks in the next week or so of the 2 rb20's ive done ic piping one.. im in the process of doin fmic piping on a rb20 silvia at the moment.. after thats done i'll try get pics up

im not actually a fan of that style of ic piping with the factory manifolds but looks ok.. be sure to put up pics once you've finished.

it was 1.6mm half of it is the stock pipe and i bought a 180 DEGREE bend it was hard to weld because it was a buut joint and you need the rightn pulse and frequincy along with the correct amps of course

cool man will be good to see some stuff youve put together,yer i cant afford a forward facing plenum yet so i just wanted to take off the stock pipe that crosses the block

[rb26s13]

i prefer the standard plenum on most setups.. just have to run intercooler piping in reverse..

dont mean to hijack the thread..

this is a 32 gtst ive done

silvia im half way thru

thanks not quailited just done alot and lot of work with in the metal industry as a labourer.. did start doin an apprentiship as a boily however i have umm how do you say it.. problems with authority lol

the piping jobs i do are more of a hobby and to help people out who have been quoted stupid bullshit prices for the work.. would probaly look at it more as a business adventure however theres just not enough work for it up here and not many people want to pay for a top job.. they'd rather spend 3/4 the price for a cheap shitty chinese supposely "bolt on" kit..
