The white intake is painted ... it was cool for awhile until it started chipping off and holding dirt ... so I'm getting it powdercoated glossy black :sulk:
Liked the fact you had it whiteQuote:

it's cool looking but it's just not working. the paint isn't holding up, it's chipping and it's impossible to clean. the paint is pourous i suppose and it's just holding in dirt :sulk:Quote:

Any tips on how to make a white car look good under the hood? Seems this is the hardest color to work with under the hood....
it's good. my TPS pins on the inside were touching, making voltage spike and forcing the car to surge :lol: everything is fixed though. she's a champ. i put a new water pump in, it's all pretty and clean, minus my skin hanging from the radiator fins from my knuckles catching it while holding the fan shroud back :lol:Quote:

You're doing it wrong if it's dulling your paint/aluminum. If you do use simple green or any engine degreaser, follow it with a soap & water wash to remove it's corrosive remains (yes you can wet down an engine) just like you said, cover the alt (I cover the A/C too). Then wax your strut towers and you'll have protection on them from dirt/oil-you can just whipe it off with quick detailer then.Quote:

Underhood mods include Afterthoughts FRC's, TS|S headplate and battery cover, secondary air delete, relocation of cruise control module, SLP lid, line lock, Kooks LT's, polished rocker covers, DEI sleeves on MSD wires, wire hide, and relocated ground wires. Can still see that ugly green battery though!
you can also polish your tb on the outside and the ac condensor along with the lines coming out of it. Really stands out when you open the hood at carshows.
I agree. Probably will be on next winter's project list. Right now I am just jonesing to get her back on the road.Quote:

whats the best way to clean dirt and grime out of the engine bay?
Thank you. I have always used Simple Green, a soft brush and a sponge. With the engine cold, soak everything down with Simple Green and let it set for a bit. If it starts to dry in places, just keep re-wetting it and shoot the really gunked up areas a couple of times. After you hose it of you can go back over any trouble spots again. Don't forget the underside of your hood and in front of the radiator support.Quote:

Just avoid spraying water directly at the coil packs and PCM, and try not to get too much around the base of the intake as there have been water related issues with the knock sensors from what I have read on here.
Wow!!!......that turned out nice!!...........
Tyler, here is a before/after of an LS1 i detailed for a customer. I used variations of degreasers, one is called cherry bomb from PRO, the other is called 'grime reaper' from Chemical Guys. It's important to aggitate with brushes, like a tooth brush around plastics and a hard wire brush on metal. I also washed/clay barred the fender wells and under the hood, polished the metal with mothers mag/aluminum then dressed the entire bay with CD2 to keep it shiney. When you wash it, be sure to cover the alternator and even the a/c with a plastic bag or aluminum foil.Quote:

don't be. A normal pressure'd garden hose is not gonna kill it.
What you guys think should happen next? Theres not too much done as you can tell:tired: haha

You could hide the hood release cable too. I was able to plug off most of the holes in the wheel house as we have a black car. Not sure what to do with red. What holds your cruise cables under your cowl? Mine still hang out just a bit.
Theres a clip that holds them back thats bolted on to the intake manifold if that makes sence:thinking:look: haha. I not sure what you mean about the hood release and the wheel house holes??:lol: not to sound :dunno: hahaQuote:

All the holes in your wheelhouses from the wiring harness clips and ground wires are what I plugged on our car. Take a close look at the pics I posted (should be at the top of this page, or the previous one) and you can see them.
Okk right right that makes sence thanks. That would be a good idea i think that wires for my after market alarm system so it should be easy to do. I could just find some plugs and paint them red haha :lol: Thanks for your input i appretiate it!Quote:

Check my sig for a link to a few things we offer. I would do black underhood mirrors, our engine dress up kit, our headplate maybe an engine plaque too. You could paint your intake, lid and air deck gloss black to really make her shineQuote:

thats what im looking for the engine dress up kit, anywhere in canada i could get my hands on this, or just from the states? painting would also be a good idea thanks for input.Quote:

You have to drill a 1-3/4" hole at the back of the passenger side strut tower and then the wires are run underneath, between the strut tower and wheel well liner. It's pretty easy to do and really cleans up the look of the engine bay. This link provides the details: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lswon/s...740314/detail/Quote:

wow... YOu gotta post up some bigger pics. I wanna see that shit,
^^ What he said. Details?
Looks like a Vortech
I wanna see him change his spark plugs :lol:
Looks cool though
here,s a couple more pics. It is a vortech v9 that I bought used for $2800,I polished it and put on last winter. Since the first pic I had it speed density tuned added abs delete/ linelock and a little braided line. believe it or not it,s not that bad to change the plugs which was never any fun anyway.
when I first got it

Thanks, last year I ran a 11.20/ 123mph with stock rims and drag radials. Over the winter I got some bogarts and qa1s and put a 411 gear, so I,m really hoping for a 10 anything

that looks pretty good.I,ll have to check it out. rcmr out of colorado makes a real nice airbox but it costs a fortuneQuote:

I just finished the intake install tonite and I still have some clean up & tweaking to do. I have a few more projects for the engine bay but this will hold me until winter, cruising season is here for the summer. :rockon:
