You can thank Kyle for that one!codyace wrote:I was going to edit, but I don't want this point lost:
THANK YOU for using an SLR
True, I have to give you credit for the big boy catch can idea. It's not often that I use or approve of others ideas............ especially yoursladysman wrote:

I'll try and come over tonight after work....pull a huidini

where did you hide the fuse box? this thing is looking REALLY good. how about some more turbo teaser pics???kyles1988 wrote:before

just need to do the ground and the power but thats basically finished
and some other new toys:
T-Bolt clamps galore, even these little bad-boys. Got some black Samco hoses instead of the blue, also he changed all of his I/C couplers to black as well.
new project silvia oil filter relocate kit. He used this over the GReddy one b/c it uses real A/N fittings whereas the GReddy kit uses the fake fittings with the clamps that people usually face backwards. Plus he was able to change it to braided nylon instead of stainless. You can also see the Earl's inline fuel filter on the frame rail.
SR TPS bolts in. The part # is SERA483-05codyace wrote:What TPS did you end up using with that TB? Stock SR or an N15 one?
Yes!inkslingers13 wrote:is that a 3076r?
No new pictures yet. The wire tuck is officially done now. I am in the process of making the hot and cold side intercooler piping and waiting on some heat protective sheaths for some of the AN lines.inkslingers13 wrote:UPDATES!!!
I might have to get some of that Thermo tec stuff. I always feel like the injector harness is melting from the ramhorn on my car.Broadfield wrote:The Thermo-Tec Heat Sleeve runs about $10/ft depending on the diameter. It is good for about 500 degrees continuous and 2200 degrees for smaller time intervals. It is even fairly flame retardant.
The carbon and other composites come as raw cloth. So I can make it as thick or as thin as you want. You or I can add double stick adhesive to the back or whatever method you want to attach it depending on the install. For example: If you want carbon and you need an extremely strong part, then I can do several layers of carbon and or Kevlar. This would obviously be the most expensive. If you need a trim plate out of carbon, but are only going to see one side and you don't need it to be mega strong; then I can use one layer of carbon and use fiberglass mat for the additional layers to get the thickness you want but for a cheaper price.
I am in the process of experimenting with mold-less composites. In other words, wrapping parts in carbon and other materials while still achieving a high gloss finish like the plate I made.
The 1st pic gives you an idea of the pattern.... which is the standard "cosmetic" twill. Many others are available. The 2nd pics shows how glossy/smooth/reflective the finish is. Keep in mind this is my very 1st attempt at composite sheets. I have done tons and tons of work with fiberglass, but in custom construction form.
Yeah, that heat sleeve stuff is amazing! You'll have to stop by the shop and check it out....... I should have some of the larger diameter left over.ladysman wrote:

CF sheets look awesome. U gonna use it on my car somewhere? How about we make a CF toilet at the shop?
I have gas that would choke a donkey...on my way.Broadfield wrote:

Carbon toilet? What do you think I was doing over the weekend? You just have to come over and help me break it in Ladysman style!
That's not good!ladysman wrote:

It's game time.
Do you want 1mm of solid carbon? The piece I made as an example is 2 sheets of carbon. It is .65mm thick. So 3 sheets of material would be 1mm thick. For my customer I am doing 1 layer of carbon for the finish side and fiberglass cloth for the 2nd layer since it won't be seen. So it really depends on what you are using it for. The carbon cost roughly $8 per layer per sq/ft. So a 1mm thick piece would be $24. If you wanted one layer of carbon and the rest fiberglass then it would be $15...... $8+$3.50+$3.50.inkslingers13 wrote:lmao!!!!!!!!! so how much for a 1mm 1 by 1 foot sheet? and where did you hide you fuse box? can you get more pics of the turbo and such? for your first try that carbon looks great! are you using glass plates?
