Cable Management
 

Heres a pict of my new Cable management. Got bored one day and decided to spend some time and money on the FD..

Another Pict

Let me get this straight.

You spend time and money on this. Stepped back and said, "This looks good?"

LOL! :D

if your going to be a asshole about it, then yes, it look a hell of a lot better than the roting factory stuff that was on there

Personally I would have used black on it. That blue is kind of an eyesore. It doesnt really go well with anything.

I don't think he was being an asshole.. I personally would strip and re-wrap the harness before covering it with colored wire loom. I think it looks cheap. Not my car though so it's not my decision. :)

Probaby why he has a "hot-air" intake too. :puke:

LOL

umm well no, it came on the car so haha not funny..


and i hope you all freaking happy i took it all off. Jesus

i never seen your car around town before??

Hot Air intake? Well, the car above has a "Hot Air Intake" and put down 357.2rwhp 15psi and 11.77@116.77mph... All running with a "laughable Hot Air Intake" and the Pettit ECU.

If you really think that cold air intake is doing you a whole lot, well......

Thank you Mahjik!!!!

I would have chose a differen't color but I think the look damn good.

They look much cleaner than what the stock cracking tape harnesses look like. Even when they split you took the time and made seperate tubes.

This makes me have a few ideas with my engine bay, maybe some black tubbing though.

One question Mahjik with the plastic how did you make it look that chrome? Like the relay covers and the vacuum tanks. Usually the chrome in a can dosent turn out that mirror finish for me.

That's not my car, but the plastic parts were professionally chromed. I'm not sure where he sent them, but I can ask if you like.

And yes it does last. That picture was taken at our last track event (road racing) and he does at least 5-6 events a year as well as normal scenic and other driving (yet his car ALWAYS looks that damn good... it's sick)..

can i borrow your engine mahjik??Looks nice

lol, thanks, but that's RTS3GEN's car (not mine) and it's a beast. That car is the most reliable 357rwhp car I've ever been around, but it's all in the care he gives it. He's da man! ;)

Please?

Hmm, maybe you should check out my sig...

You'd have to be plain stupid not to think cold air does anything, ask any engineer, pilot, or educated person, air density is a function of temperature and air density effects HP generation, FYI Dynojet's rule of thumb is approx 1%HP for every 10deg F change

My car makes 355 RWHP at 13psi with a cold air intake, hmmmmm maybe hot air does have something to do with it, and it's still sequential, it would make even more w/o that restriction in the exhaust.

My engine isn’t as "bling bling" as that one, but it gets the job done. I built it myself and it has been running strong for a year and a half, car has 170k miles on it, about 40k on the new motor.

Don't be ignorant, do your homework people, hot air SUCKS (literally and figuratively)

Art's car is still sequential too. He's pretty adamant about it too. :)

With that said cold air IS better than hot air. When you do turbo compressor map calculations, air temp does affect Corrected Mass Flow Rate (CMF) and later efficiency. Basically, if you have less losses in compressing the intake charge, you don't "use" as much energy creating that compressed air. (we all know that turbos are "free" hp unlike supercharging..haha) Therefore creating a more efficient system, which will increase horsepower. Plus, since the twins seem to lose efficiency and overspin much above 15psi or so, it seems logical that colder air would not create as much of a need to spin as fast (more air consumed per revolution) and increase turbo life.

Art is proof that you can still make tons of power with a "hot-air" intake, but I am curious if it would change if infact air was drawn from a cool source. In a dyno situation, the hood is open and your intake temp should be virtually the same between a cold air setup and a warm air setup. He also has a scoot hood which should also keep under hood temps quite cool.

:withstupi

Unfortunately... My car doesn't have much of a choice BUT to suck hot air.. oh well. :)

If you have a FMIC there's not a lot of choice.

why cant you run tubing towards the front of the car for colder air, and build a heat shield that a guy was kind enough to give a great template for??

Yup.. Unless I get really creative with some ducting for that opening where I removed the stock overflow tank.. THere's room to make something from the oil cooler duct to the firewall, but the opening into the engine bay is small... Not sure how affective it would be. I may try though.. :D

Single/Fmic

Not much room. :D
