powdercoating is even thicker than paint..

bad idea.

hahah yeah, youre basically melting plastic onto an item, not a good idea.... its just named powdercoat on what's sprayed.

Garm,

What is the fuel pressure that your pump is capable of putting out?

[Tamago]

glad to see you ditched DBW.

if at any point you need an extra intake manifold or throttle body let me know, i have a spare.

did you JBWeld an AN fitting to the top of your tank?

[cali yaris]

Thanks.

LOL @ JBWeld. It's a bulk head fitting with a nut on the inside - very secure.

i know how to do both..

i have the scars and hospital bills to prove it :(

so, may we see your manifold? i'm hoping that with all this work you're gonna do something better than a door handle.

i know a couple guys down here that do amazing manifold work if you're interested.

It's about time you got your hands dirty me thinks .

[cali yaris]

Manifold will come a little later. The xB mani and TB will do for now; Art is making 280 whp with his built motor. Remember, we're doing this first round on the stock motor.

Have you thought about anodizing the intercooler black or red or maybe
even pink, Na not pink too butch for you .
keep it up its looking real nice, have you done the electric water pump yet.

Hey garm I don't know if I understood this post.... are you making all this on a stock 1NZ? How much boost do you consider to use?

What about that 280whp motor of Art? Do you have any details on it?

Nice return line. I've been fortunate enough to work with similar stuff on a build I'm helping a friend with:)


I didn't do the install of those lines, but you get the picture. He went above and beyond and every line is braided

By the looks if it you made the fuel rail yourself right?

please please let me build your driveshaft!!!!!

[Parmas]

What turbo do you intend to put in there Garm?

[cali yaris]

I've had a GT2554R in there for 9 months. Been great fun and will serve for initial tuning @ 8-10 psi. When we switch to the built motor, I'm looking at a GT28.

Crandall, that is a Perrin rail.
