Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
A coat of black on that IC and piping would look good as Jago said
Ching chong meow :-\ |
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
Lookin good Martin. Pray that manifold stays together, haha ;) Get some vids up.
|
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
lol yeah, better mani, and paint the intercooler piping and it will be ------- hot. but as it is, its pretty good. What goals are you shooting for? whats the setup? Have you test drove it? and where are the vids?

Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
looks awesome man. loving those wheels and the whole car in general
|
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.

Test drove it out of boost. Im currently woring on a basemap and for now I need to break it in at around 7 psi. When I get my 660CC injectors my goal is 20psi out of this turbo. maybe ~300ish horsepower. |
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
Those are some tyte JDM shots my friend...The setup is lookin sexay, don't mean to jump on the bandwagon, but I think a shot of flat-black might be a good idea for the IC and pipes...Don't know what kind of wheels those are, but i want some just like them...I actually really need honda centercaps.

Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.

|
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
Cool :6

Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
ok i might be wrong about this but whatever,
i dont think that painting the intercooler is such a good idea. bare metal transfers heat alot better than with a coating of paint on it, i would think that the paint would act as a insulator and hold the heat in the intercooler. but im polish and drive a ford, so what do i know. |
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
me like your rimsss :y
|
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
nice build... ps i think those rims are off an older VW
|

I did some minor changes since thoes pics were taken. I now have Tein S tech springs with adjustable shocks on the way. I'm running Yokohama Runway 205/50/15 car still sits pretty low and I'm getting a tiny bit of rubbing when making aggressive turns but the ride is amazing, I can crank the wheel all the way to the left or right and I actually grip the road. ---- tuck, real performance cars arent slammed. I have maybe 1 finger width gap between the tires and fender but since the theels are wide and the tires stick out a bit it still looks really good. I'll take some more update pics this week. |

In the case of kamilk69 vs. intercooler paint, I find that the stealthness of the intercooler far outweighs all, if any negative effects of a ching chong meow intercooler. I sentence you to THE CHAIR!! :1 |
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
nice ride. do u have any internals done?
|
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
That car is badass man :y Those rims kinda remind me of some old AZEV's I used to see in the tirerack ads and ----...Wish I could find a set like that 4 tha Spec...Rims with a deep lip are gangster...

Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
Radiator paint is the magic for a black intercooler. Mine is almost invisible.
|
Re: My Build is Finally Done! Pics inside.
Heat transfer through a thin layer of paint is pretty negligible. Then when you think about it, most of your heat transfer does not come from the leading edge of the tube/bar and fins. Its done across the whole surface area of every exposed part of the fins through the thickness of the whole intercooler. So unless you are dipping the intercooler into a bucket of paint the majority of the alum is not covered anyways. Such small differences that you would never notice a loss of cooling in datalogs
I love the car though. And for some reason i am really liking the way it looks. Even the non painted intercooler. Zip tie intercooler brackets FTW! I used the biggest thickest ones i could find at home depot. They lasted for 3 years never broke. I had to do that because JB didnt stick to the cast endtanks for some reason. |
