Very nice!

High temp coated stainless.
They are also getting wrapped before install.

John said he's going to punch in the throat next time he see's you. ;).
What, you think we'd just make it on a stand? Of course it fits.
Thanks for all the comments all. All of my 5 minute lunch is done, back to work.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Jet-Hot? Are you going to dyno your car before & after the heat wrapping by chance?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

The words "before install" tell me no. Why would he bother?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I have seen 16hp Briggs engines show horsepower drops on a dyno after adding heat wrap/heat. It'd be interesting to see what happens on a much larger scale.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I"d rather keep my engine bay from catching fire. I don't possibly see how not wrapping turbo manifolds will help the situation. They are spray painted with a DEI high temp paint, we did not have time to send them out for jet hot. The entire engine bay is treated with DEI, yes there are pretty parts, but function over form on this car.

However, I'd love to get a link to that study, as it would be an interesting read.

It was testing we did at school 2 years ago on the engine for our 1/4 scale tractor so there's no paper. I don't even know where the graphs are anymore, but those horsepower drops were the reason Flowmaster increased the piping size on the exhaust systems Kevin McClelland has fabricated for us. If I run across them I'll let you know.

That looks fricking awesome!! Nice job with everything! Cant wait to see it in person ;)

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

So, is it in yet? You're three hours late. :-)

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Yeah, any update? That thing is insane!

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

It's in. Don't bother the boy, he is really crunching!

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Stop by last night to check it out, was looking sweet and it wasn't far from getting dropped in at that point. Can't wait to see it all done!

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Its in, we are just hooking up stuff now.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Any idea when you are gonna turn the key?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Hopefully friday.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

It finally starts and idles. I am going through it tommorrow afternoon/night to get my tach's to work and get my wideband to sync to the AEM, then its break in time on the dyno (the thing is practically broken in idling, -10 vac already) and then some tuning....


This thing sounds MEAN! Think exotic, not muscle car.
