Hotside is back! WooT!!!! (pics)

typhoon43 · 12-08-2008, 12:34 PM

After reading a lot of stuff online, I made the decision to go with Swaintech's "White Lightning" ceramic coating. It seems to be what a lot of the top tier Rolex and other 24 hour race teams go with. It's not the prettiest, but it's supposed to be really good stuff. Besides, it's called "White Lightning", which is what I drive. How could I go wrong?

Anyways, here are the craptastic Iphone cam pics. I can't wait to get cranking! I took the entire week off from work next week. I'm going to get this damn truck close to being finished if it kills me.. The piping is 2.5", and the downpipe is 4".

1. Throttle Linkage to fit my Wilson TB.. may have a solution
2. Cooling system: Hava Cobnra Corssover I strecthed out but need a way to secure it to the block
3. Tap the 10AN return line. Have the bulkhead for the pan, but I need to man-up and do it.
4. Miscellaneous wiring.
5. Exhaust from the DP on Single 4" in/out Dynomax on the way.

Do what I did for the oil return and have a trustworthy friend do it... That way you can blame someone else when something goes wrong. lol.

The coating looks good... Let us know how good it works.

Not my cup of tea personally but the coating looks descent. I was thinking about doing white hopefully it's just those pics on that table. Why didn't they do the braided flex fittings?

I didn;t have a choice on this cup. It ONLY comes in White, but is the thickest ceramic coating on the market, and many people claim it's the best. Had to give it a try!
