Alright guys I bought a stock endplate off a member on here and I need to know what kind of fitting to get. And Im not sure to have a fitting welded on there or try to get something like gm uses that a barb fitting threads into. I could try to get a small piece of aluminum and drill it out and then weld it to the endplate. What do you guys think will work best.

Bump anyone

check out Blown-4-Bangers threads, in one of the How-to's he shows you how to make a dual pass endplate from a stock one, he yelled at me once for ordering a dual pass endplate, haha instead of making my own

i used a 3/4 inch 90 fittin g and used an apoxie made for metel to seal it and i've been running it for about 8 months with no problem

yeah I read it but I need to know if a fitting welded in there would be good enough or if I should get a piece like what crateenginedepot has on theirs.

I use a threaded fitting and drill/tap the endplate, similar to what Blown-4 did. I've sold several of them and never had one leak.

Blurred is that like metal jb weld? Italian all you do is drill the hole tap it and tighten the fitting down. I have a mig welder at my house but not familiar with aluminum. I assumed thats what the endplate is made out of.

Go there, the top picture is what I do. I actually have a local machine shop do it for me, I have yet to have a problem so I don't mind paying him a little bit to make sure I have a quality product.

it comes in a plastic tube and it kind of like playdough I try to just tap it but it had a slight leak. I'll try to find a link or pic of the stuff i used.

I know what your talkin about. I actually used that to fix my Injen intake when it rubbed a hole through.

anyone else have a suggestion or info that would be great.

A little bump for info

I used an Earl's fitting. One end had a moveable nut on it that I cut off with a hacksaw (Blue Nut End). Then I sanded it to position it without hitting the oil filter part of the engine. After that I drilled a hole in the bubble center part of the old plate and had the fitting welded to it. The other end already had the -12 barb on it, so it was good to go. It was a 90* fitting and worked great. I actually sold it to someone on here and wish I still had it beause it was nice!

Here is the fitting I used:

can someone correct me on something, the dual pass option B the surge tank has to be higher than the tap into the line going down to the H/E

Yeah, otherwise you get air trapped in the line and it stops flowing.

Is the endplate aluminum or something else? Anyone know the best way to connect the fitting?

bump for dualpass gurus.
