HAHA I don't know about this V8 but I'm sure there are some out there.

Boring updates, just experimenting w/ some parts since I have down town. Cleaned & I tried the black wrinkle finish. Mirrors the carbon composite fuel rails on the market, so kinda cool. Used a brilliant pipe cleaner I got from my welder. More pics later as I coat/refinish/freshen up old parts.

Before and after solution w/ a light scrub

 

i thought the v8 could already pull off on the 2jzgte stock....the 2jzgte (twin turbo) makes what about 270ish stock, the v8 makes 300 stock....

i like that and would love to do my SRT intake piping and valve covers like this, any info where i can get this?

 

autozone should carry it. It's called VHT wrinkle plus.

 

thanks....i found it

autozone wants 8.99 a can + tax

 

Yeah that's about avg. price.


Small up date got some parts back from polishing. ( I think I may get the TB done & Lower portion of the IM also. Anyone know where I can get some fancy pulleys for this thing?

 

nice....actually polished or plated? how much did that run you?

 

Polished. A buck & a half.

 

looks good,my only issue with polish is you have to re polish it from time to time to keep its luster

thats cheap

 

Fair price I suppose. I know the owner of the shop. Very nice lady. I used her for some of my honda builds and customer requests.

Tell me about it ....................I was thinking maybe slap some clear high heat paint on there. It may dull a lil bit, but I can handle it, just = less elbow grease on the long run.

 

The polish parts turned out great... Looking forward to seeing this GS on the road..

 

Thanks TMF, me too man, me too! It wont be nothing special, but I just cant wait to drive it. I drove my buddies gs4 on air and I was quiet pleased so ad one more item on the things to do list.

Small update, finished up fuel rail #2. ( I think ill hand polished the hardware, and TB, not the lower portion of the IM )

 

nothing grand, and update of progress nevertheless. Block goes to machine shop tomorrow.

 

That polish looks sick!!!

 

Thank You Mike.

Still around guys, just busy! work work work, no play.

Few updates:

- Engine rebuild, still on going. Had to find another short block. Old block once honed had a low spot in one of the cylinder walls.

- custom cams on the way

- non-factoid updates coming this week. LOL

 

i liked this so much i did my SRT intake






it ended up with a few scratches on it though after installing and removing it again so when i have my hand surgeries im fixing to have and wont be driving i will probably just have it either professionally wrinkle black powder coated along with my RMM strut bar (if/when i ever get it) or i will just strip it and redo it but make sure this time it dries properly

i wondered where you have been off too...
