OOOOOOH! Pretty.

 

sex...

 

Magus,

We got the powder from Rosey's Powdercoating. We used Champagne Metallic as a base coat and then used Candy Blue for the top coat. When it comes time to rebuild the motor I plan to coat the housings like you did. Those look great!

 

Love the vert

 

ya, i get all my powder from columbiacoatings.com
i used chrome base with a candy translucent top coat. i redid the front cover btw
i love the way your engine looks, engine bay looks increadable, but idk about the blue on red...

looks good. will those worm gear clamps hold?

 

They'll hold long enough to finish getting everything running. I simply used clamps I already had. T-bolts are being ordered once it's all done. I'm going to trailer her to the exhaust tomorrow to get my DP made hell yeah

 

Very nice. I'm powdercoating everything on my engine now too. It's a myriad of different colors, but I think it'll look cool.

I, like you, didn't PC the throttle body. I didn't want to take the thing apart and try to pick out the shaft seals, and I sure didn't want to subject them to the 400 degrees of my PC oven.

 

clean the throttle body with carb cleaner and spray can it

 

Nice, It looks ******* sick. I cant wait to get my **** back together.

what kind of hood are you running with your vmount?

 

gorgeous.

 

s2kguy: GT300 hood

 

Glad to see you still running my old hood car looks good man

 

Thanks, bro! I like your new ride, too!

 

Is this thing running yet?

 

Elliot, yes it is. I just got an elbow added to the turbo to get the V-mount connected. We're having a meet tomorrow so I'll have pictures up of turbo fitment.

The manifold is awesome! Spool on the .84 60-1 is amazing. The car doesn't sit far in vaccum cruising in 5th gear ; it's always wanting to start spooling up. Lol. Fitment was spot on, which is great considering where the turbo had to sit.

Like I said, keep an eye out for pictures tomorrow night!

 

Glad to here everything fit well. Spool is usually insanely fast with a good short runner tubular unit...

 

Way after the fact, here are some pics of the manifold Elliot made for me, both out of the car and installed.

Elliot, I need to ask you a couple of questions (opinions, suggestions). PM me with the best way to catch up with you. Thanks!
