Thanks Chris....Cup Washers??? Forgive my stupedness, what are they? You still up for some photos when your settled in to the shop?

Thanks mate

Not Sure yet...I only went the highflow option to maintain as much response as possible so with a Hypergear G3 profile it "should" make around 240-260rwkw but ill be happy with 240 for now if and when the highflow lets go ill go the hks GTRS or the AVO 450 i think. I just couldnt afford the big $$$ Turbo at the time as my wife was due to give birth a week after the old one blew so I didnt think it fair to spend 3k+ just then

Well after many months my Project 33 has finally been completed and the engine was kicked over for the first time since Jan-Feb this year. The birth of my daughter had slowed progress up a fair bit but I think in the end the finished product looks awsome. It all started with a blown turbo so I though while its off the road for a turbo and injector upgrade it was time to do some painting, the Plenum, Crossover Pipe and Strut tower brace are all the excellent work of Chris from Craved Coatings and I cannot recommend him enough for powdercoating work. As you can see his work is first rate. All the red is only out of a can (Metalcast Red with base coat) but with the proper prep work turns out perfect, The only complaint about it I would have is that it is a little brittle when doing up bolts. Anyway as you can tell I am very chuffed with the results so here are some pics, Please let me know what you think and if it looks like ive missed anything, Besides of course the connections for the catch tank which are meant to arrive tomorrow. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu12/DaveO74/102_8681.jpg No its off for a Dyno Run.

Looks good, hope you dont damage it going into driveways

Bought a Stanley knife today and gave it's go as Shan's link shows. Worked really well

stay bronze just maybe get them redone to freshen them up

Yeh awsome link thanks Shan Just what i needed

Hey thats an idea ill give that a go...only thing is ill have Craved to answer to if i score my powdercoating!

Yeh I had that in mind or maybe try the tape and fine hacksaw blade in a mitre?? When you use your band saw does the end cut clean or look a little frayed?

Ahhh sorry shouldve stated that before, 2.5inch band saw eh. Have you got a portable one....hehe

Hi People, Can somebody guide me through the best way to cut silicone hose without it looking all jagged and crappy. Cheers

Seems a little different to other Series 2's Please Pm me as well if not to much hassle ECR33-133451 GGKBRTFR33VDAAA-AA Ant info would be awsome Thanks

Thanks Chris I know a good Powdercoater

Heres my work in progress, Metalcast Red with Chrome and Grey (whats the actual colour Chris??) powdercoating by Craved Coatings. Ill post up more when its finished this week. I reckon the fuel rail turned out awsome

Try Speedflow, Proflow or have a look here on these forums. Ben is a good guy and a trader on these forums and cheaper than most, send him a PM and he'll help you out BUT be prepared to part with a fair amount of your hard earned. For example I just bought 3 metres of braid and 2 hose fittings and didnt get much change from $300 But it looks good

Got a link to the site mate?

Try Performance Wise here Paul is a top bloke and a trader on these forums, 95% of the parts on my car are from him and he has never let me down.

Thanks for the tip mate, I have heard of that before but didn't know of anyone that has actually had that problem. Maybe I'll just leave it alone then

Heeeey Geraus how are you mate? Yeh I can do that, just trying to figure out how I'm gonna do it myself Bloody iPhone posted twice

Heeeey Geraus how are you mate? Yeh I can do that, just trying to figure out how I'm gonna do it myself

Anyone else have an option?

Bit of a pain in the ass though to weld it. I was thinking more along the lines of some sort of bung, or even filling the hose with araldite may work?????

Im about to hook up a catch can to my RB25 and after searching have decided to block off my PCV Valve. What is the best way to block it without doing away with the hose so the boys in blue cant tell?

I thought it was just me..hehe
