So here I am at Trochoids house, letting the aluminum housings soak a bit. They got the RB Race exhaust porting done by Trochoid. Here in a bit they will be powdercoated chrome. The intake ports will be ported using the Judge Ito templates. After that gets done, the irons will be powdercoated candy purple. Hopefully the Ito templates come in the mail before tomorrow so it can all be ported and put together (long story - my fault)... Pics to come soon!

Forgot to add that its a 12A

 

sounds cool, how does one powder coat things if i might ask?

 

Only noobs use the state icons in the main areas of the forum. They're supposed to be used in the for sale sections.

Good luck in all that powdercoating goodness. I don't believe in it for engine parts but it seems to work for some folks.

 

I'm confused...Is he in Iowa (IA) or Missouri (MO)?

 

What does the ITO porting look like?

 

I haven't powdercoated an engine yet, but have recently learned just how easy and forgiving it really is. Way to go, dude.

 

Pics

Hey Jeff - I can be a noob if I want to be lol

Edit: Currently in MO but live in IA therefor I put IA

 

Cool, take lots of pics. I wish i could hang out with grumpy ol troch, lol. Seriously i do.

 

Im sure he would be cool with you coming down. He always needs help on odd projects and stuff and always likes to talk cars.

edit: btw you shouldnt have sold that milennia. For one they are nice rides and two it was emerald green mica - best color ever made (same color as my protege).

 

^ Ditto on the Millenia. Nice cars. And, Ian is helping old man winter, I mean Prof T, because he conned a youngin' into shoveling his driveway by promising him money and candy.


*L* Nice port job, can't wait to see more pics.

 

Ito port.

 

Holy hell. Is that over or under a bridgeport?

 

Damn, the legendary Ito port, nice.

Oh and concerning the Millenia, well, i lost my job and had to get rid of it, sucks too cause it only had 31K miles on it I wish i still had it

 

Hi IAN!!!!!!!

happy new year!

finally you are getting that done.

Say HI to the old man for me.

 

My father had a 98 Millenia. Loved that car, the leather was the best I have been in. It didn't make you sweat. Sucks you had to get rid of it

 

A couple more pics. Chrome powdercoated rotor housings and matte black front cover. I got the intake runners cleaned up and now its just time to wait and see if the templates show up in the mail. *Fingers crossed

 

Hey Ian,

Looking good man.

What exact powders did you use on that. I've been looking for a good chrome powder that we can use in Marc's engine bay and was hoping maybe you could throw some higher-quality pics towards my email address?

Jon

 

word man, looks good so far. i didnt know when you were going down there, otherwise, had i know you were waiting til after new years, i might have gone for sure. but you know, with new years and all, i had to enjoy my 1st new years being 21.
tell scott it looks like he is doing a kickass job on the housings thus far, too.
let me know when you get back into town man.


Iowa Powa.

 

Looks good man! Is the engine going to stay N/A? What carb are you going to use?

 

Rotor housings look great! I wish i had the time/money and heated garage to start one of these projects. I guess i shouldnt stress though, the current 12A in my car runs real strong (fingers crossed)... As of last summer anyway

 

Where did you get the ITO template?

 

Probably from the Judge himself, i see him post in the other sections quite a bit

 

Yeah ordered the template from Ito and looks like the template wont show up til next week sometime so it looks like its time to go home. X-mas time and the post office dont mix lol. I will finish it all once it comes and I will post more pics once I get home and can get them off my cam and will keep this thread updated on the progress of things.

blmcquig - I came down on saturday so you would have missed out on the drunken craziness. Wouldnt mind an extra hand putting the motor together though. I'll call you and we can figure out a time...

Jon, Ill explain what to buy and best place to buy it once I get home and online later on.

 

How did you contact Him? did you just get a 13B template or his Turbo one or want.

I have not seen him post on this forum, only over on the other one.

 

It looks like you're having fun.
