500f engine enamel (duplicolor i think). Iv used this paint on my ka24de build, worked like a charm. however on that build i didnt paint the head, just the block and vc.

 

im going to paint 2az head and see how it holds up...if it fails its going to fail around the exhaust side im guessing.

 

nice to see u finally building your engine chris!
as far as paint goes dupli color makes a flame proof enamel that holds up to 1500. i used that on my vc after the normal 500 one peeled off due to excessive heat under the hood along the exhaust side. id do that so it doesnt look like poop a year later

 

all those colors are flat though..I want high gloss. my boy carlos is using 500f on his vc with great results..may be due to prep or maybe heat build up cause of manifold..not sure but it has worked for him so far. that is on his vc.

 

pee on it

 

pee on you

 

woah now R. Kelly

 

I retract my previous statement
now lets get back on topic shall we
(good shot though syldrin) (no homo)

 

what are you guys doing? what are you doing about your turbo Syldrin? Kyle hows the engine sound?

 

Engine is running smoother and better every mile I put on it

 

good..how many miles so far?

 

215. A few hiccups though, like I have to set the fuel pressure regulator back to 43.5. Also the pods fell off again...

 

So what would you think if I got the FullRace mani and went with a straight t4 mani... Maybe an HX40 t4 divided turbo? 6speed swap and 20-30 psi

 

if you got the money then go for it

 

remember the last time i tuned it was at 50psi

 

I think if I go 50psi again it will be on an APR

It is actually cheaper to go with the fullrace and an HX40. Mani is cheap, turbo is like 250 then 120 for a rebuild, problem is that I will need 2 WGs. Management would be a _____

 

are you forgeting the tranny? im willing to bet thats gonna cost ya a pretty penny

 

I ment 50psi fuel pressure dummy...lol

 

I'm gonna save up for that 6 speed swap so I can get it as soon as it comes out. There is no way my trans is going to hold up for long once I pack in the boost

 

sounds like fun
