Another Engine Clean up Project/Fusebox Relocation

[blcknspo0ln]

My compressor cover powdercoat has dulled over time especially near the top where its closest to the manifold. Perhaps the JMF heatshield is directing heat right at it

 

[TiradoCC]

Regular powder coating should be fine. It's the turbine housing that would be the issue and I would suggest ceramic coating that instead of powder coating it.

blcknspo0ln has it right actually, the powder coat more than likely wouldn't hold up to the temperatures on the compressor housing.

It's just the heat period. Anything that is powder coated around the turbo/exhaust manifold area is going to dull no matter what you do. What I try to do is clear coat any parts that I powder coat and know will be near that kind of heat. This helps some with the dulling effect that heat has.....

[meliketoball]

It looks great! Your timing belt looks a little old doesn't it?

Not bad as i thought, you get use to it pretty quick other than when your moving 1-3mph

Yea i ordered an HKS Timing belt along with a few other parts so ill show another pic when im done

Damn, and I thought I was the only one doing a purple color.

I LOVE the motor mounts, were they powdercoated? If you ever decide to sell them, hit me up.

Mind games...you don't want those wheels...you don't want those wheels...you don't want those wheels...end mind games.

Really though, aside from the color and small lip...those are knockoffs of mine. You don't want to show up to the meets in the slower car with matching wheels do you?
What did you do with those 950's? That should give me enough injector for that Mustang, need them for 30 minutes total.

Which reminds me, I need to come see this in person instead of scattered about the carport.

You were right, those 950cc just didnt cut it for e85 so i sold em and ordered some FIC 1600cc

This is the side you'll most be seein

Well if someone would... Ah HEMM.. sell those wheels... then maybe i wouldnt have to get these

Anytime, just bring that blinker switch because my sticker's out and i need to go get inspected

Why must you and Frank cause me to spend money? Doesn't anyone just run plain ole over priced 93 octane anymore.

I haven't seen that end of your car. And there is only 1 local 2g I see that end of, and I'm sure it is silver.

Sorry, not happening. They are HOT on my car, just heavy.

Blinker switch is being used now. You say you need something around these cars and it breaks on the working car.

Chris=q16

 

[boostedt28]

Chris=q16

I can't afford to put that in for a night of fun, though I would have plenty of injector to match that little boost y'all run.

When you taking it to the meets? I may need to request a kitchen pass.

 

[DSM_PWR]

Tonight,

Why dont you come out and play with that mustang

 

[boostedt28]

Cause I have a full tank of that damn 93 octane, and we both know that the 20psi I'm limited to won't be enough. I guess a loss would finally get me in his buddies video though!

Explain the ninja edit...

Tonight, but im not plannin on runnin till i get some of the new stuff i ordered

[DSM_PWR]
