Double top for d5, anyone have plans for something like that?
Anyone knows if there is a top for double d5?? or if someone is going to realase something like that?
The d5 have less attention lately. There is no new top for it since a long time ago.
I was thinking on running 2 d5 in series in my loop, but two d5 took up a lot of space . . . with a top it would be more clean and less blulky i thing . . .

Now im thinking on getting some ddc
LOL
Why do u think ive been saying i hate D5's for the past 2 yrs now....
And no i dont think there will unless BoXGods deices to dual his T3.
However if u look at the design it would no longer fit in a standard 5 1/4 bay.
If you want dual pumps, just get a couple of DDCs.
My 2 D5s at 5speed is quieter than a T3 at speed 4 plus more flow actually. Although it wuoldn't be nice and compact, but far less chances of leaking IMO. I think there is no product that works for everyone.
Im not looking for dual loops, im looking for 2 d5 in series so beside the increment in flow or head pressure, it will be more reliable
Look at these photos. You have an inlet on the bottom and outlet on top. you can run in series by having the resevoir run to the center inlet of the first pump to the top outlet of the first pump into the bottom inlet of the second pump then out to the top or center outlet of the second.

Yeah i know that with the tops that are in the market you can put with some tubing and fittings, 2 d5 in series . . .
. . . buttttttt it also would be nice that someone makes a top like the xspc for 2 d5 instead of 2 ddc . . . is not to hard if you consider it.
That's just because the part that screws in with the notches all over it makes the pumps a lot wider. If you only had the parts with the actual pump parts with a custom top they could fit fine.

But, doing the ring smaller, you can mount 2 d5 in one 5 1/4 bay more easy
With a double top, you can actually reduce a lot that ring to fit in one bay . . . hope that someone with prior experience (making d5 tops) take the initiative for making the first double d5 top
Detroit AC doesn't use a ring. It's not as wide as a regular D5. I'm not certain about 2. You will still have to secure the pump to the top and you will either need to do it like the T3 retention ring or the Detroit AC style with the 4 tabs. I don't think you could mount the pumps as close as you are thinking you can.

Thats true, i cant know for sure, thats why i suggested monuting in the other way
why not make a dual D5 top that worked like that one DDC top in which the pumps are on opposite sides of the top. This way you can cut down on the width. (granted it will be a tall SOB)

It's funny because everyone is assuming you have to put the D5's in a straight line. By just putting them at a slight angle from each other you could easily put them in a 5.25 bay.
I'm not for it one way or another but as master machinist I have learned there is always a way to accomplish something if you think about it hard enough!
BTW IMO I think the DDC lends itself better to mods because of it's shape.

Thats true, thats one of the alternatives that i thought.
Like i said before, there are a lot of alternatives to make it.
