srad....good stuff! Now get rid of the unused bracket on the passenger side pipe. You have the same mods that I do when it comes to coolant pipes.

Are you going to paint or powdercoat the pipes?

When you get them welded make sure the area around the weld is cleaned before it is welded else it may leak.

Good catch Cux350z.... Was wondering about that. My turbo piping has a bracket for it, but I don't use it. Guess cut those off to.
Yea, getting them powder coated black I'm thinking

and on the cast pipe and driver side pipe flange, you can drill/tap for 1/8npt and 1/2 npt or 3/8npt vs welding.

If you remove the hose and cap off the inlets you should be fine.
But if you place a breather on each intake tube at those inlets you will introduce unmetered air because it is post MAF.

Will I capped everything off and it makes more sense that way...

Pics to come once I hopefully successfully remove a broken fuel rail bolt that I magically snapped?

Damn near cried

If you drift and maintain your vehicle regularly, you may want to do your coolant line tuck in a slightly different manner than what everyone else is doing. The Coolant line tuck makes bleeding the coolant a *****....air typically gets trapped around the thermostat....or at least this has been my experience with the DE's

Been thinking about placing a bleeder in that hole instead of welding it shut. That may allow bleeding air out from around the thermostat to be a bit easier

Not sure if you want to sell your intakes in the future, but cutting off those nipples all together and just welding it shut and grind it smooth (as though it was never there) would look really clean IMO

Can you explain your problem alittle more and what you've done in the past to bleed your coolant? Have you tried drilling a bleed hole in the thermostat and if you have nismo or mishimoto remove the little plug so it can constantly flow a little and air doesnt get trapped at the thermostat? Old trick in the V8 world,
