I wanted to go the Haltech as it seemed a good option with the plug and play loom.

I am about to get my tax back so I might buy some cams etc with that, haven't quite decided yet.

 

[evo-gsr]

I am also curious as why you went haltech? There are a few other options which will be more then fine for street cars and a fuck load cheaper. My e7 ecu conversion cost me $170 (excluding tune) (including the tune is still half the price of the haltech)

Cause sheep ?

Baaaaaaaaaa

I did an evo 6 ecu conversion and retune with SD on eflex and it was still cheaper than a haltech....

Well I'm happy for you. I wanted a Haltech, so that's what I got. Sorry its not exactly what you would have bought. After all, it is my car, last time I checked.

Bunch of ladies. Haha

 

It's plug and play? Righto, no excuses not to have it installed and tuned by next Saturday then..

Sooooo the new manifold arrived today.

 

Started out like this

 

 

 

I used a wire wheel and some fine sandpaper to get all the krud off the manifold

 

Then I used ceramic high heat paint, gave it 2 light coats and 2 heavy coats. Turned out pretty good. This is after i gave it a good once over with the heat gun, now time to bake in the oven to cure the paint

Hate to burst your bubble....I used that (vht ? ) not too long ago on my FP manifold...two good pulls on the dyno and it turned to dust. $26 down the drain!
Let us know how yours turns out after a few heat cycles?

[Hyper_Mike]

Hey man,

 

Yea i used the Dupli Color High Heat ceramic paint, I'm guessing it will peel off too haha but i am going to enjoy it while it lasts

[Parabola]

Hope it lasts.
It looks good!
Maybe it's a vht thing. I did mine with vht and it burnt off pretty quickly, except around the flange.

New manifold mock up positioning, just needs gaskets now

 

Sitting high up at the moment

New MTX-L Wideband has arrived!!

 

[EVO193]

Great engine bay.. It will be interesting to see how long the paint lasts on that manifold

[EV0300]

I painted mine about 6 months ago and its still going strong

New cam gears arrived today

Rice keeps coming with my clear cam gear cover!

 

[elnevio]

Looking great, and coming on at a great pace now!  A new expansion tank could be a good aesthetic improvement?  Mine is new and it is amazing how white it is, rather than yellowing!

I wonder where I could get a new one from?
