Blog #5: Another few steps closer...Manifold back from coating

WJM · 04-07-2007, 04:13 PM

Satin high temperature coating has been applied. Will help with any thermal stress corrosion, spool up, and under hood temperatures. The turbine housing was in the next batch to be coated and set to be completed yesterday.

I will start fabricating up the oil and coolant lines, now that I know ~where the turbo will be.

Was almost willing to pay the full price for a full race though, since I spent several months of "ups hell" waiting for it.... or was it UPS....hmmmm

even though he doesn't actually have to do any design work seeing that he steals it from other people so I wouldn't exactly blame UPS.
