Well the pipe tap was to tap threads into the hole you drilled so you could insert the fitting. In the end it didn't work, we had to have it welded, but the threads helped hold it in.

The tap is kinda expensive and I would skip attempting to tap it and go straight to welding it in. There is too little material to successfully tap it IMO. Blown go almost all the fittings from the Parker Store.

They are used to seal the cores preventing the coolant from entering in the intake manifold and going into your engine.

The both washers go on the end of the core, the large one closest to the fins, then the smaller one, and lastly the o-ring.

2K5SS/SC?

^^^ Looks great so far. Can you tell us where you got the parts from, how much, and the part numbers? I plan on doing this myself very soon.

gilbert

well the fitings and the hose i got them from parker store they make lubrication equipment like hydraulick hoses the y conector from crate engine and the bit u can get it anyware

gilbert

if i knew how to make the pictures bigger i would have any body knows how?

Cobalt_Supercharged

That is the exact fitting Blown 4-banger has. Be sure to drill at an angle other wise the fitting will hit the oil canister. Look at this as a reference.

gilbert

thx man i wonder did he cut the fitting the way i will ?

gilbert

cuz its hard to see in the pict, i measurit and it fits perfect if u cut all the tread on the fitting ?

Cobalt_Supercharged

I don't know about cutting the threads off. I wasn't there for that. You will havetowait for him to respond.

Click on the image in your vBgarage and it will open a window with a larger image. Right click and get the properties from the larger image.

thx man

Blown 4-banger

No, I didn't cut any threads off. I worked it in until it got in pretty far.

gilbert

i cut the threads off in an angle to get a nice straigth surface to weld it and it fits pretty nice in there i was wondering in the pict u have the bit seems a lot smaller then 1/2 inch is it ?

Blown 4-banger

Yeah, it was, that was the pilot hole for the big 1/2" bit.
EDIT* Don't forget to use a wire brush or something to take the anodizing off the fitting, other wise the weld won't seal properly

Cobalt_Supercharged

Actually we used a 23/32 bit, which is just under 3/4".

gilbert

cool yeah i took it to a place and they sand it for a while charge me 10 $ to weld it
i thick is cheep by the way this r my iat2 temps at idle is 115 at 45mph is 80 and it goes down the more i step on it , r this the # u r geting 2 ? also what temp do u see o the gage of the car i usually i see 185 , would like to get those down 2 but dont know how any ideas

gilbert

the place i took it to have it weld they turn it upside down and ported the 1/2 inch hole to a bit more then 3/4 opening of the fiting looks pretty good very easy mod thx guys for ur help

Blown 4-banger

No problem

What did you use for an extra resevior, and where did you put it?

Blown 4-banger

didn't use an extra resevior

BlackSS/SC

I just finished the dualpass endplate and the extra coolant bottle. I used the Ion Redline's stock coolant bottle and put it on the passenger side and made a couple simple brakets to hold it there on the stock studs that stick up there. Haven't been able to see the difference yet on IATs.... Too much damn snow

Blown 4-banger

Didn't see this post. That seems a little hot to me, with water/meth AND the dual pass thats really hot! At idle mines like 85 tops, cruisin 40 its like 65-70, and a 0-142 mph run is like 167 for me!!! I think you might have air bubbles in your system cause somethings not right.

Good job on the install Blown, and good luck to everyone doing there Dual pass. i wouldnt beable to do this. I'd **** up. it looks way complicated. would a shop do the install for me like a Chevy dealer? with out buying the stage kit? i would jsut buy the end plate and stuff.
