Wow I like the way those gauges are. What pod and all are they?

 

I have stri x-line gauges. And they are in a quad pod clock pod. The guy is on here thats who i got it from, **** is pretty amazing, fits perfect, i just gotta re epoxy it together

 

Im going to have the manifold checked tomororw and possibly buy the Tial purple wg.


Thats how it looked at the beginning of winter






Car is also undergoing bodywork and a flat/satin black paint job. So the project will take longer than i want, but you all know how that goes

 

bigger injectors = lower idc which is always a plus

 

what is the "purple" tial wg? I'm wondering if I should skip the 38 and go straight to the 44

 

its a tial wg that is purple.

38mm and 44mm should be dependent on your hp goals and setup

 

UPDATE: Well fellas and ladies if your cruisin the thread. The manifold just got sent out to hottemp silver, Ordered the tial wg(purple) wit a 9psi spring cuz its ****in sexy as ****, got the sc34 on order for this week, gonna hottemp that bitch 2 cuz i dont need high iat's or ct's. just need gaskets to atleast start some progress. pics will be up as soon as i get everything in my possession

 

Another fun update: valvecover just got 10 AN'ed and sent for purple. Turbo should be in and then sent out for hottemp this week also

 

Who does this "hottemp"

 

LO-KO coatings, shop i go through uses em,they do some good stuff

 

Should see the coated manifold,powdercoated valvecover, and tial wg next week. Still waiting on turbo to come in then to ship to hottemp. Sold my header now im in the great debate of B&R fittings catchcan or getting a thermal 3inch exhaust

 

TONS of places, jet hot is the most famous. google ceramic header coating, jet hot and thermal exhaust coating

 

Yea I've done some searching and no idea who the best is. I know the Jet hot coating on my set of longtube headers didn't last long at all and flaked off and rusted.

 

did you personally send them to jet hot? i know for awhile companies were using cheap ceramic and calling it jet hot which it never was. the best coating ive used yet is whatever edelbrock uses. that stuff lasts forever, call edelbrock and ask what coating they are using. it's the ****

 

ill bet fullraces hottemp is pretty legit. im hoping mine last a long time, because pulling something off to have it rehottempeds is not my idea of fun

 

that and you can't even really do it without a lot of prep work. you would have to sand blast and etch the metal again before the ceramic would even stick to it correctly. much much easier to do it with new parts

 

No, it was a set of Hooker Super Competition headers. You know.....I take back what I said! It just said "ceramic coated" I bet you are right, they were done by some shitty company.

 

During my searching I found this was supose to be the best at keeping heat in... http://www.swaintech.com/store.asp?pid=8537&catid=19694

 

Ya bet the ceramic coating was just ceramic coating not hottemping but who knows. Theres so many companies out there that hottemp 2. I guess ill find out friday when i get some of my parts. Probably ordering the B&R catchcan next few days, 2 off the valvecover kit with 2 blocks for the breather box

 

Just picked up the valvecover, and B&R parts on my doorstep. Turbo wastegate and manifold all be in by next friday

 

Just got my wastegate. .7bar spring

 

keep it up bro looks great!

 

Is that catch can special order or something? I don't see it anywhere on their site or buyimportparts

 

No this is a stock item from B&R fittings, he responds real fast, does great business, He sent me the drainback can because he hasnt gotten the drainvalve kit at the moment, and he said he would swap it out when he gets them back in at no cost, Guy is great customer service awesome product.

Tomorrow both manifold and turbo will be here from jethotting, thinking about getting a custom DP made by either ILL or RCautoworks

 

You are having them jet hot coated?
