Thats why the ones I'm getting made up are being made in aluminum

One note about putting the S4 water-pump "assembly" onto the S5 motor:

NOT with the OMP still in place! It does fit, but you have to block off the omp, and this is a bitch because you either need an RTEK chip, or a standalone...

however, now that I do have both RTEK and blocked off OMP, i'm considering doing the S4 swap.

I got some exhaust tubing pieces and have cut & grinded them down so they are at a 45* angle.

Thanks to some other annoyances I'm still working on this.

Still I need ideas of what to coat this thing with. High-temp paint?, epoxy? what?
I'm going to make this thing last a lifetime. lol.

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-11-2009, 11:09 AM

That's what I would do

N.RotaryTech · 03-11-2009, 11:10 AM

The sizes were a little off here an there, but it all worked out.
I had it welded at a welding shop I found down the road, nice ppl.
I painted it w/engine paint.
Total cost came to $40.

And it doesn't leak.

FerociousP · 03-11-2009, 11:24 AM

what did you do about the inside? are your worried about corrosion?

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-11-2009, 11:53 AM

I was gonna say, that's TIG welded. It you were going to have it welded, I DEFINATELY would've gone with aluminum and not worried about corrosion (as much)

N.RotaryTech · 03-11-2009, 01:43 PM

Inside is painted too.

2 things I don't like are, the coolant hose is stretched over the neck, and its a little to high, my homemade strut tower bar won't fit over the hose.

lol, I have a feeling the home-made modifications on this car will pick-up this year.
I have ignored a lot of things. Yet this car runs great, I love it.
Some mods might be: remoded CAI, OMP lines, redo block-off plates (ones on there are rusting.), grounding, etc.

Well, I got my S5 water neck brand new for $60 from Atkins Rotary, and with your's being $40, it's cool as heck!

88turboii · 03-12-2009, 07:21 AM

thats badass. sure beats the shitty stock plastic

Max777 · 03-12-2009, 10:15 PM

Come on guys let's leave the "other forum" disputes on the other forum? however I do apreciate that this didn't blow up too much.

So the other day, my neighbour comes over.

Says "hey, you sonofabitch! your dog came over to my yard and beat the crap out of my cat"

"oh really?"

"yeah, he chewed the tail right off poor mr. whiskers!!! What are you going to do???"

I says - simple, take your cat into Walmart, they're the biggest re-tailer around.
