Get that vc painted

 

[Polyol]

I know it's ugly, maybe later i'll get a nice powdercoated one.

 

[hurricanecris24]

paint it the same color as your car or black

 

[Blurred Talon]

Looks uh.....stock-ish part from the Magnus intake manifold and FP manifold.
However, Rome wasn't built in a day and there's so much that can be done.

Put a cover on your timing belt though.

The title of this thread clearly says Pictures of Engine Bay IN PROGRESS... thats probably why it still looks "stockish". Anyway it looks good so far man how are you liking the fp manifold and the intake manifold i am currently looking for both of those parts but cant decide on which ones to get...

Not sure on the intake haven't ran it yet. Plus I have a bunch of new stuff on it. Holset big HIC, 1250cc injectors, external wastegate, and others.

The timming belt will be covered when all is done, But if you didn't notice there are still many more things missing in the bay. Its not done yet.

Here is some before shots

Gettin there man!! I like the transformation from stock color engine bay to black! Whatd you used to paint with?

 

[Polyol]

Single stage direct to metal. I Sand blasted the whole engine bay.

 

[bmwtuning]

Nice paint color

 

[92AWDHX40]

Nice im going to sand blast my bay with the tsi or gsx project in the near future, going for the show and go next time around.

 

[Blurred Talon]

I didn't mean to be a dick or anything.

Look forward to the finish product.

 

[SD99GST]

Looking good man, I like how you painted the engine bay... I would like to one day take apart my car like that and clean up the engine bay.

 

[moparismylife]

That looks good...keep it up and im new to this but how did you sand blast the bay???? Yourself or did you take it somewhere?

 

[Polyol]

Did it myself right there in the driveway.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

You have a sand blaster or did you make one of your own? I need one and I'm starting to look towards making my own.

 

[Polyol]

I used a habor freight pressurized sand blaster.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Ahh. Opinions on it? I was thinking about it. I have a Harbor Freight Powder Coating kit, Love it!

 

[97blackwidow]

looks real good bro!!!!

 

[FwDdSm]

Looking really nice.

 

[eurytopic]

That should make some serious power - or broken drive train parts! My vote goes for painting the VC the same color as the waste gate.

 

[Polyol]

It's pretty much ready to start. All I need to do is put the axles in & fill the trany & transfer case with oil. Here a new pic.

Oh man that intake mani is a little expensive for my taste but I'd give my left nut to have one!

 

[whitesmoke]

looking good

I got a great deal on the mani. How do you like the full size battery with the intake. Every thing I read said you had to use a mini battery, or move it to the back.
