EK D5 Revo Pump + Drain Port
I had to redo the drain, as i didn't worked as expected on its first location. It's not perfect, but there were still a lot of liquid in the system when I redid this, so, functionality over aesthetics here !!
Built the last bit of tubing.
This was hard as hell due to the very small size, and extreme bend radius of this tube (front rad to res is 5 cm only)
Bends are not perfect, but for a first loop, and using 16/10 Acrylic, I think I did a good job nonetheless
Drain port at this location didn't work as expected. I had to change it after doing the first leak test. I didn't managed to drain complety, so I had to do all of this while there were a heck lot of coolant inside the system.
I realized it wasn't the lowest point in the system, it only drained the Res and partially the front rad.
