It could be full of pin holes...I might block up both ends and do a bubble test and see how bad it really is
Local govt regulations here stop you storing certain types of flammable liquids and gasses..your only allowed 10L of mower fuel and 9kg of propane for BBQ.
Its one of those things that makes living close to the city annoying.
I have more pipe bends and flanges, so if this turns out no good, I'll go with the original plan, and cut another one and have it Professionally welded....i've only burned up $40 at this stage if it doesnt work.
The o2 sensor hole....I have seen alot of argument about its position on this forum. I am fitting 2, one for the ECU and one for the wideband.
I was originally going to fit the ECU one in more or less the factory position, and move the wideband to be down nearer to the sump.
My GC has the ECU o2 sensor about 400mm from the turbo outlet, I found that the car has a slight throttle off hesitation since the sensor was moved(its factory postion is similar to the GD)
I put this down to the time taken for the gasses to travel from the engine to where the sensor is..and being only 1 wire sensors, on a relatively small engine and a big exhaust, will it really get hot enough there ? especially when driven sedately.
Problem is for me, the car needs to be able to handle to being driven not far in heavy traffic where it will barely warm up...then being lashed to within an inch of its life.....two extremes.
Oh yeah...and my outdoor furniture hasnt fallen apart yet...but welding steel flat bar is a whole lot easier with stick..and who cares about pin holes. but no one heavier than me (95kg) has sat on the chairs tho. lol
