youre right. honda guys out grew loud/flashy mods in the 90's for a much cleaner look. same with VW and 240sx guys.

aside form the K20 motor swap & RHD, the top engine bay shot (not the camo valve cover pic) has been shaved extensively (wires tucked, plumbing re-routed out of view, holes plugged up, etc). this is definitely an extreme case of shaving.

 

You want to see Honda's go to a Honda site................................

 

why were honduh even posted, I HAVE NO FRICKN CLUE!

site.... grammar and any vehicular taste most not be your thing

 

You forgot your capitals and a period. Before you try and burn, correct yourself first. And my grammar is corrected. Now, back to SCION engine bays please?

 

Spelling must not be yours...

Back on topic guys... where's the engine bay pics?

 

sorry having a ____ty day. And I think the Honda bays were a nice touch to see what else is going on. If you want to see some very clean bays go over to the VWvortex.

 

Here's my engine bay.

 

did you get rid of your c/f hood?

 

Uh oh i spot a hint of burnage on that hood heat shield. Buuuuuuut who cares it all looks great

 

Nah I just took it off cause of where im working now. Im parking out in the sun and everyday when i came out to the car the thermometer was saying 110 plus degrees. I'm gonna put it back on once it cools down a little.

 

haha yeah. Just a little bit


After only 3 days.

 

Oh thank goodness!! I thought I was the only one that had this problem. I cut out a huge part of that burned area and beyond, took that heat shield off, then I used JB Weld to attach some leftover turbo heat wrap to the opposite side. It worked pretty well, but you have to cut a pretty big area so the edges don't burn. It did work for protecting the hood from the heat though, as well as stopping the burning under the hood.

 

Seems like a poorly designed kit to me

 

I can't even explain how sick I am of reading "my turbo company this" and "your turbo company that" posts. So I won't read them anymore. I'll split them or delete them if they're off topic in other threads (like this one). End of story.

 

Anyone know where I can buy a painted Engine cover, or where to buy the paint to DIY because Im trying to do everything blue on my engine bay and If I can find a pre-painted one, it would be much better

 

me likey

 

www.racecoated.com for your powdercoating needs

 

Believe it or not, its already heat coated.

It doesn't really bother me too much. If thats the only problem with the kit then Im more than happy with it.
