i did most all of the work myself. david garfinkle gave me a few pointers as well as a few kick in the pants. . . and he reassembled my throttle body.
paul oh, and he also countersunk my throttle-blade bar. . . thingy. . . now, there are no bulky screws for the air to move across. :D |

Looks good Paul! I guess I should of looked here before PM'ing a pic request...
Can't wait to see that new turbo! |
haha, i just sent you the link too!!! hahahaha
man, when i sat the turbo in there for "clocking", i was amazed. it looks soooooo much bigger than that other one. . . should my old one even be categorized as a turbo??? hahahahaha paul |
Man that's awesome work on the LIM, how long did it take you to do that? Any pointers? Looks like you dropped 5 lbs. from it!
|
it took days of staring and figuring. . . then some welding. . . then some smoothing. pretty much, it was a major pain in the bobo!!!!! i really dont know if id care to do it again. . . though, i have another manifold laying around just begging to be sold!!!!! :D
paul |
:bigthumb: Great work! Another LIM around? Maybe you can do that one again. :D
|
maybe ill do it again. . . and polish it. . . hmmmm. . . real quick. . . heres a comparo.
heres david garfinkles polished LIM. . . http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/...49daveslim.JPG and heres mine. . . http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/...0993rx7002.jpg :D |
guys, i just realized something. . . the artificial light really doesnt do this stuff justice. . . direct sunlight makes this stuff really stand out. . . wish i could share that experience. hahahaha
paul |
Now that relly looks a great job is coming through. I particularly like the color so good looking. I am starting to think is is better than the stainless steel look.
My complimnets. :bigthumb: |
looks sick man
what else is getiing done in that color?? did u do it?? |
thanks, i did some other pieces in the engine bay the same color, and there are some other pieces in silver. . . very high metallic content. this stuff sparkles in sunlight!!!!
paul yes, i did it. . . though david garfinkle put my throttle body back together and countersunk my throttle blade mounting screw holes for better flow across the blades. |
That looks really goooooood. Looks like you guys did a great job on that throttle body too. I hope you bring that over to Deals Gap in April :)
