Vortech Users question

[94TURBO5 O]

Anybody ever tried to separate these black water pipes before?
I have not seen it done before yet.
Seeing how we don't use one of them I want to get rid of it b/c it looks like a$$ in there.

Most guys just delete it entirely and put a rubber hose in there JR. I think RC has his done like this with pics...

I DID IT TO MINE YOU HAVE TO CUT THEM APART IT'S NOT HARD JUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET INTO THE LINE WITH WHATEVER YOU ARE USING TO CUT IT WITH . I LEFT THE ONE YOU USE AND THEN RAN THE RUBBER HOSE FOR THE OTHER LINE IF I CAN SCAN THE PIC I HAVE I'LL POST IT LATER ON.

Good Memory Paul..You should have been a pharmacist!

JR..the shop the did my install trashed that piece and deleted my heater without my approval
<marquee> ..... ..... ..... ..... </marquee>

Anyway, Oink had the one side that goes from the ECT/intake to the firewall. he sold me that piece , and we ran hose from the water pump to the firewall.

The best pic I could find shows it here, going under the alternator, then b/t the alt and the VOrtech..back to the firewall.

It was really pretty easy, EVEN FOR ME!!

Thanks for the replies! I just used my awesome Dremel cutting wheel and buzzed it off of there and I am putting some polish on it now. I will put a pic up soon.

Here is a pic of the water pipe for the ECT after I cut and polished it.
What do you think?

 

[94GTLaserRC]

Looks Good..I didnt think you could polish that.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE FMS CHROME Water Pump.

Thanks

You mean that thermostat neck?
I am going to black RTV the hell out of it and if it pisses me off I have some JB Weld on hand. j/j

 

[YEAHLOH95]

i wish i had known you could pollish that too and my thermo housing leaks too !

 

[VibrantRedGT]

Damn now I gotta go polish that thing. Things just keep getting added to the polishing list.

 

[94TURBO5 O]

I started to polish lots of stuff when I took the motor apart last week.
I still need to put Mother's on all of these and my fingers are already killing me!

94/95 Tensioner

Stock Distributor

Vortech Tensioner bracket

Water pump (You can not find these polished for the 94/95's)

Fuel Injector

94/95 Timing pointer

Power Steering bracket

ECT water pipe

I started to polish the inside of the Vortech but it was a PITA so I just painted it.

My latest polishing expiriment

Yeah, I meant the water NECK.

Yeahlo...I got one of those heavy cast ones from D.A.P. for $8. Thing is strong and straight. So far no leaking after 3 days. Joe put one on his neighbor's car, and he said you can TQ that sucker down tight.

JR...I have a lot of polished stuff, but since Im not too good at taking the car apart, and It is my only driver, I wont be taking stuff off like that to do any time soon. You do us proud. Keep it up.

JOE..so far I think it's safe to get that water neck. You'll just have to check for clearance to grind down the edges, and you can either polish and clearcoat it, or spray paint it.
