That motor/tranny looks so clean. If you dont mind me asking whats the code for the yellow the car is painted in ? Oh and that turbo looks like its gonna run into some clearance problems.

Re: ITR Hatch Build (evo_lucian)

I don't know the yellow paint code, and there wil be some trimming in the front end, so there won't be any clearance issues

How much room will you have for a filter on the turbo?

An HKS Mushroom filter will fit well.

Re: ITR Hatch Build (Synapse Motorsport)

question for you, how do you run the oil return from the turbo w/ this setup? seems like the turbo is pretty much level w/ the pan or even lower. thanks.

looks are very deceiving. the turbo height isnt very low at all actually sits the same if not higher than a ramhorn.

Re: (92redhatch)

Does that paint hold up and is it pretty durable? That engine looks so clean. I want mine all new looking like that. Only thing I was worried about is like a few months down the road that paint starts looking like garbage.

I also always paint the block and tranny while they are out of the car and easy to get to. I use a different brand of paint (from Eastwood), but I am sure it is similar. It flows out and covers extremely well and is easy to apply if you take the time to properly clean the surface. It is pretty durable (just saw a motor I did over two years ago and it looked great) and makes it easier to keep the motor clean after it is in the car. Cast aluminum is very porous (sp?) and tends to trap dirt and grease on the rough surface. The paint fills in a lot of the tiny pits and pores and makes it easier to wash the gunk off. The key, as with any painting, is to make sure the prep is done correctly.
