Light gray is what is planned at the moment.
thats a good idea. white will get too dirty quickly, and dust shows up on black easily. plus if any fluid starts leaking you can easily identify what it is against a light gray bay

ahh, paint the engine bay a nice silver with a satin finish to it..lets the engine really stand out, its very nice.

btw, i don't even wanna guess how much that love-fab manifold coast you, i know how much an sr one goes for..fairly surprised you didn't for for a twin scroll either, i think a large frame holset would look very nice! 1000hp ftw

bookmarked

full race ain't got **** on love fab..that manifold alone likely costs more as much/more than most sr front clips......at retail, he may have the hook-up price.

interesting wastegate placement, do i spy a monster 50mm flange?

actually you spy a 60mm wastegate flange

For the manifold... http://shop.rawbrokerage.com/p...d=234

anyone that needs a different application let me know.

The turbo that will be ran will not be a monster of a turbo. But around 680whp is planned and nothing to be disappointed about

Same price for the manifold.

The heart transplant is going well. The motor was removed from my donor car and was cleaned.

The KA will be removed today hopefully and engine bay will be prepped for the incoming transplant.

Pics later on today

Well had today to get my daily driver back in business...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P844RDLmpJg

no tire smoke (in the neighborhood and need to conserve, DD)need to take it easy to waste off the rest of that damn 87oct

Ah, now with that out of the way, I can devote my free time back on the vert (or lack there of)
