So I finally got my S/C installed(it sat around for almost 6 months ):



I ran out of heat wrap, so thats as far as I got, a shop is going to make me a custom heat shield this week, so thats next. I have to say that I am very happy with the power this s/c gives, its just perfect for me, I've hit it a couple of times over the weekend and it left an evil grin on my face, he he....Has anybody noticed their temp needle dip down a bit, to like the mid line? mine has done it a couple of times, in cold weather thou, not during warmer climate, is this normal for s/c tC's? thanks.

BTW...yes I know I have to clean my engine bay

 

Yea the temp is normal. They installed the TRD thermostat. And congrats, you'll come to love it even more .

You said a shop was going to make you a custom heat shield? Did they say how much and what type of shop? Thanks.

 

Thanks for the info, its a shop that deals with nothing but turbo and s/c vehicles, he was not sure about the price, he will not know until he actually gets in there and makes me one, as soon as I have mine, I'll ask him and bout maybe making a few more(if people like them of course), how long have you had your header wrapped for? thanks.

 

Ive had it wrapped for about 2 months or so but the MMW is a b!tch to wrap and I didn't do the best job lol. Thats why im interested in the heat shield

 

jet-hot FTW!!! That's awesome G! I'm happy to see you are boosting now...

 

What the heck is a biscuit in reference to something being difficult?

 

^LMAO I typed B I T C H and it replaced it with buiscuit LOL

 

it always does that... _____...

 

nice man. hope to see it sometime.

but definitely clean your engine bay.

 

congratulations I'm waiting for my pulley to come through from the group buy then I'm gonna install it hopefully they r finished efore mid march btw is there any advantage to wrapping the headers cuz I have the dc ceramic ones and I here that I shouldn't have heat issue with those is this true?

 

so that is where biscuit comes from. lol
congrat witht the SC,
how come u have so many grounding wire on the battery?

 

Ice, I would wrap the header anyways. The heat that emmits off of them can dry the oil in the s/c rod and lead to problems. Not to mention the loss of power from the heatsoak. Thats the issue im dealing with now

 

Jet-Hot anyone? It's worth it. My Megan Header looks awesome after. And even after the S/C is installed, I don't think I should have that many problems with heat soak.

 

yea i've seen jet hotting done and it looks real cool yea i might just wrap mine i have wrap lying around somewhere lol anyways we should stop jacking gwtcs thread...btw are you going to do any mods to it?

 

i have dc header and i wrap it up anyway,

 

i usally wrap it up when i don't know what i'm doing or who i'm with...oh man !!! sorry wrong forum lol

 

welcome to the family

 

upside AEM battery tie down?

 

I have jethot - look at my profile pics for what it looks like. It was shiny when I first got it and now its silver ....it still looks good to me but too bad its not the way it was when I first got it. Jethot is good because they spray inside and outside
