There is a ton of room in a 3rd gen in comparison... he could prolly just about guess and you would end up with a something that works. Only thing i see being an issue is figuring the downpipe without the car.

My paint and the paint Jon had been using seems to hold up surprisingly well honestly. This kit is aimed at the Do-It-Yourself crowd (aka... budget minded... coatings are never very cheap). So if you want some sort of coating you order it and do it yourself. Save yourself money that way anyways (you don't think he is going to have it coated and not mark up the coating price do ya???)

But honestly.... modern paint tech has come a long way. You would be surprised with just the spray paint.....

 

You been reading my emails LOL!! Exactly right. Its the DP over the K that would be tough to figure out


Yeah, the Rustoleum barbecue paint has lasted great on Justin's kit. He emailed me today wondering what in the hell I used since it has held up. The secret to the barbecue paint is to spray it on, then use a hand help heat source (I use the propane torch) and heat it. You literally see it cure on the spot when the heat hits up.

I want to state though, this stuff isnt a thermal coating, meaning it doesnt provide heat resistance like a coating, but it keeps the outside from rusting (mild steel) and it keeps it nice looking.

 

i like what your doing here.. come up with a kit that keeps all accessorys (A/C) and the rad. in the stock location and ill be your next customer

 

I've already done it with a header kit and a log manifold kit... when you giving me a deposit

Thanks for the words

 

I'm glad you've made your business official on here Jon

So how long until you start hydro-forming Inconel for your hotside parts?

 

Thanks bro.

If I had the money, I would do some nice cast manifolds... but tooling is some serious $$$

 

I understand that, but I'm trying to have it coated to keep the underhood temps down a bit since my turbo is going to be sucking that air in . I was just saying that I'd pay a little bit more over having to ship my stuff out to a coater, paying shipping both ways, plus the price of coating, costs me more in the long run. I'm still looking for someone local however.

 

How is the spark plug access on your log manifold kits?

 

The driver's side needs to be changed from the bottom and the pass. side can be changes from the top. Pass. side will take 10 minutes to do all the plugs. Driver's side will probably be 30 minutes since you are on your back looking up.

Jon

 

screw that man... im just gonna pull the engine each time i do plugs

when i was putting this engine together and i put the plugs in it almost felt like a sin b/c every other time i have done plug on my engine it was in the car and i usually ended up getting my *** kicked.

 

p.s. WHERE THE FREAK IS MY LT1BOOST.NET T-SHIRT JON???? gonna have to get some made brother.. me first i wear a medium

 

Hmm... T-shirts would be cool

 

I can actually do the front 3 on the drivers side from the top with a short extension in probably 10 minutes, VERY easy to get to. The last one is a pain though and I have to do from the bottom. Still easier than doing them with my old jet hot long tubes, and being a nitrous car I used to always check my plugs so I had lots of experience.

I'd rock one!

 

I dont think itll be that hard, Ill be sending Jon some pics of the passenger side tonight to see what he thinks. Im trying to see if his hot side parts would work in my thirdgen. I was looking at the turbo location for the 4th gen kits and on a thirdgen you have more room to move it out and forward, getting it away from the ICM. I may end up Just doing my own hotside parts or mix and match Jons harder to make parts.

 

you could just make the downpipe or have an exhaust shop bend something up...
