did you paint your intercooler? i was thinking of painting mine flat black to attract less attention

 

no the intercooler comes black...but if ur gonna paint it you have to use a paint that is gonna breathe good

 

fill us in in what kind of paint breaths well? if you really love us you would...

 

well made some progress today...

Mounted and installed my FMIC:



The bracket i made to hold my intercooler ( Not Done Yet):





Started Mocking up my intercooler pipping, the hot pipe is all mocked up ( i have to go back and cut some angles so the hot pipe sits better) but i cant do the charge pipe until my charge pipe comes back from gettin tig welded:







Finally got my Supra ecu, previously we had a soarer ecu:

 

So i Guess you got all the wiring done?

How hard was it.?

what works and what doesn't work/eliminated.

Looks GooooooD.

 

the wiring isnt 100% done but ill let u kno how it should be when im done

 

very nice very very nice...I really like the way your FMIC is hooked up and the bracket I gotta make mine one for my ka

 

ok so today i finally got more pipping and started to mock up my charge pipe..i didnt want to to run a 90 degree coupler like most people are so i figured out what angle i needed to cut and made the angle....came out awesome....i will be finishing it up tomorrow when i get more couplers:







mounted my oil catch can in its new position:





:rock:



Our new decals came in yesterday so i threw some on the car:



this is my favorite ha:

 

good stuff man stands up and claps for yet again another successful DIY swap.

that 1j looks good in there..

 

man, how do i get one of those inspection stickers? it looks f***in boss! cool idea very well executed. im lovin this build.

 

indeed...agree with Donnie 100%

 

little preview of the valve covers back from powder coating...ill have better pics up tomorrow..

 

thats raw, like uncooked meat, intense like camping, and boss like........ well its jus freakin badass

 

any paint will "breath well" if you want to call it that. it's not the paint but the thickness of it on the fins that matters. there is what is called radiator paint that is supposedly specially deigned to be used on radiators. but any paint will work as long as there aren't any globs of paint on the fins restricting air flow and allowing it to "breath" or ventilate which is a more appropriate word.

 

NICE build....im diggin it...looks good as ****

p.s......that IC piping is really close to the rad...you gonna move it a little or put something inbetween it??
