Ender Chest - or - Mystcraft Portals + Railcraft Item Loaders/Unloader with Storage Carts.

Essentially what your wanting to do. Includes a video on how to set it up.

Teleport pipes didn't work across dimensions anyway.
Basically it's Enderchests (and some way to input\remove items), Myst portals either with a RC system or you can just have an open pipe pointed at a 1x1 portal with an obsidian pipe as a pickup in the other dimension (careful with this one though if you stuff up the pickup you can end up with enough items around to lag your world out). Currently there is no way afaik to move liquids across dimensions so they need to be packaged in some way (either cart or "canned" works).

The best way I think would be to use an enderchest system for items but if its for liquid you could either use a system to put the liquid into cells or something similar and then transport it by enderchests or you could use railcraft tank carts with liquid unloaders and loaders and have it travel through a mystcraft portal
Damn I'd never even tried since they were not able to in every incarnation I'd had before, thanks. (And the documentation is a little sketchy on the version available heh)
Yeah I've completely done away with solars in IC2 now and use nothing but geo's then once I have enough iron build a 9x9 tank of lava. Oh and then using the EU generated for forestry electrical engines and then use power phased pipes for powering anything BC related
And then a Liquid Transposer on the other side feeding the liquid to a tank and the cans back into the enderchest to refill?
Exactly. Takes 4 Enderchests, 2 Transposers, a pump, a couple engines and some pipes and tanks. ProTip: use only 1 stack of cans/cells or it can overflow. Found out the hard way, lol.
Well I just setup a small test with both a railcraft/mystcraft setup against a enderchest/transposer setup pumping out the nether side by side into seperate 7x7x8 tanks. Transposer wins by a mile. I even had the pump stop working on me for some reason, or at least work really really slowly, on the transposer side and it still had a higher lava count by the time it was fixed than the railcraft side. After 16 minutes of running I am at 441 buckets of lava from the transposer and only 300 buckets in the tank cart side, and this is with the transposer coming to a halt for about 7 minutes.
The only issue with the transposer setup is that it requires more fuel for the transposers, while the railcraft setup only needs fuel for the pump. If you can't keep the transposers running at a 4MJ/t rate it might end up falling behind the railcraft transport system, making the railcraft setup better for you. Not that 4MJ/t for each of the transposers should be hard to get.

Yep, the enderchest cost is annoying for people who don't like to fight or have no luck finding them. The problem I am now seeing with the transposers is that the one pumping into the tank can't get rid of the lava fast enough and is starting to backlog on lava cells.
It is looking like the transposer can transfer 5 buckets of lava for every 3 the railcraft setup does. Also to note that my railcraft setup gives the cart on 2 tracks for each dimension, a booster it lands on and the boarding it loads/unloads on before going straight through the portal. I don't know what kind of rate decrease would happen with longer tracks.

If you only use 1 stack (total) of cells, I don't see how there could be a backlog, am I missing something? But you're correct, the downside to this build is certainly the pearls/blazerods.
It doesn't overflow because I only have 64 cells, you are correct about that. It is just that the transposer hooked to the tank can't get rid of the 1000 units of lava in the time it takes to transpose 1 cell, so it ends up holding onto some extra cells after a while. If it could get rid of lava at the same rate it would only ever have 1 cell in it and the system, but it is slowly increasing the amount of cells it is holding onto. It is currently holding between 7-8 cells at any point.
This is it at the moment. In the time of uploading this it has actually risen to 8-9 cells waiting for transposing. I am waiting to see if it has an equilibrium point with the amount of cells it will hold in the chamber. If it does not then the system will end up with it as a choke point with the system waiting for it to send out the next cell.
Also there is now a 2:1 ratio for the amount of lava the transposer feeds into the tank compared to the railcraft setup.

I'm curious to know how much power you have going to the extracting transposer. Perhaps a bit more juice will speed things up? Although, as long as you have plenty of lava for your needs, as it sounds, I'm not sure why it's an issue that the receiving transposer falls a bit behind.
The energy storage on the screenshot is full, so that machine is going at full speed.
