FOSTA Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Lol was it apain in the ass to remov and refit the inlet manifold to get painted? Just as I'm wanting to crab mine up but looks like a rite pain lol also did you need and new gaskets ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Mine wasn't any trouble to remove but the engine is out so that may make it a bit easier, I do need new gaskets yes a head set is next on my list actually and a new set off plugs then I'll finish it all properly and bolt it all back together torqued up and everything. It's only mocked up at the minute so all the parts are together and I don't loose any of the bolts and bits;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Had a bit of a play today, while my injectors are with Chris Wilson I thought it good time to spray the last piece of the inlet. I started of by sanding the casting lines off the upper inlet, which I should of done in the first place;) Primed it and flat sanded before colour Then I removed the lower intake and cleaned it Before Ready for primer Then primed I blasted the 'Y' piece again as I'd scratched it. It's now in the garage drying, I couldn't resist offering the fuel rail I'd sprayed the other night up to it though:D And yes i know I need to sort the bolts holding the fuel rail on;) Edited February 18, 2012 by pjavon (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjavon Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the link mate, this is something I might try once I've got it up and running OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 My injectors and resistor pack arrived today from Chris Wilson:). Just thought I'd add a picture of the resistor pack as I didn't know what they looked like so it might help someone else if they see one. I know there are cheaper ways of doing this but I thought I could make it look pretty OEM looking with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might take you up on the ramp offer Brendan, thanks mate. I slipped the pulleys on tonight just for a quick look, I'm a bit pleased with them:D. I need to touch the thread ends up with a bit of black paint and do behind the water pump pulley now it's got cut outs in but I think they look great.
