I have decided to go off the deep end and paint my engine compartment. I did not use fancy colors, nor did I have to take anything off. I just used time and patience. I was waiting to paint my engine until after my supercharger was ported, and since we did that this weekend, I was free to go to town with the paint.

Here are some before and after shots:







Sorry for the glare in the paint, I took them at night and they were from the flourescent light. Also if you think they are bad quality pics, I used my cell phone. I could post better pics with my other camera when I get a chance.

 

 

They work!

 

i cant see shat?!

 

okay I'll try a different hosting site

 

This is all I get:

"Sorry but you are not authorized to view or download this Attachment"

 

Okay I hosted them on Cardomain

 

looks good man

 

Feel anymore power with the porting job? Looks pretty decent need better quality pics tho.

 

Even from the crappy pics it looks hot

 

I noticed a smoother acceleration, and a more even boost gain. As for more power, it's hard to tell since I don't have my 60's in there until I get them back from Intense, so I am running 42's, not exactly adequate for my setup anymore.

 

Looks good but what happens when it gets hott in thur.

 

*McFly* I painted it with Hightemp paint, not testors!

 

lol, I was going to ask if you used some high temp stuff.

It looks good. It looks a lot better then I though it would when you said you didn't take anything off.

 

Looks pretty good but you should get some better pics when you get a chance....I was thinking about painting mine black but dont know how it will turn out.....

 

Looks good but what in the hell is on your intake?

 

I concur, what the hell is that on your intake??

i think i figured it out. i do believe it is heat wrap

 

nice job! looks good

 

It is heat wrap. Yeah it looks like doody, but a ~10* drop in IAT2 temp was worth it :-)

 

x2

 

yep ive been running intake heat wrap too

 

It makes a difference

 

really, where do you get this heat wrap...

 

I bought mine from a place called Lopers. But go to a performance shop and buy header wrap. Then wrap the intake as tight as possible, and use zipties to hold it in place.

NOTE: You can't use zipties on the exhaust if you choose to wrap that, because it will melt the plastic. Just a little FYI! LOL (No I did not do that)

 

I ment to ask you about the wrap to see if it really works. Well i guess i got my answer lol. How much does it run?
