Steve's mildly out-of-control build

[IBoughtASupra]

I used Thermotec on my 1JZ since I have used them before on my 7M.

I would have used the titanium wrap but the problem with that is I could not find the black colored one since white would not look good on my 1JZ since it is polished white purple and black theme.

It itched for a good six hours and my best advice is to wear long sleeves and use gloves. I gave up halfway with the gloves since it made it much harder to feed the wrap through the runners so I just took off the gloves and used my bare hands.

It's worth the itch since it really helps with the heat.

Itchy? wat? I've wrapped 3 or 4 things and haven't been itchy haha maybe it just doesn't effect me as much? who knows.

Anyways,
Are you getting the wrap wet when using it? I mean dripping wet? It is like 1,000,000 times easier to work with when it it wet. Much more flexibility when it is wet and when it dries at tightens up a little more also.

+1 on doing it when its wet, much easier.

Manifold is off and new manifold is getting tested out and fitted up!


Before:

After:

Side view:

Downpipe needs modification to work, so that will be sent out tomorrow for welding, hopefully I'll get it back a little faster than the housing...
Manifold will be wrapped, same for DP, turbo blanket will be used all to help keeps temps down!

What manifold is that?

Steve, change that red hose to a braided or black hose, it looks weird as if Ian was buy your house doing his craziness.

Sean- Raptor racing used to sell it, I got the last one. :evil2:

Andy- Yeah, yeahI've been meaning to change out the PS feed and the breather lines, I've just been busy driving the car and doing this modding stuff It will likely be black nylon braided for both- I am liking the flat black approach so far!

 

[goodhart]

And that throttle body coupler. What size is it? I may have a black one to replace it with you can just have

 

[toyotanos]

lol @ all the nitpickers

2.5 in, 2.75 out. I might be going slightly bigger in the TB, but not sure yet. 75mm sounds like a nice number...

[toyotanos]

You and Moy both hate me for it, too

[funky_monkey58]

I don't hate you, I just hate the other cheap manifolds that are out there.

 

[toyotanos]
