    Best way to protect turbo piping?

    I've had best luck with rustoleum bbq paint in the green can with wrap over top and the black heat wrap paint over that.

    People who have powdercoated front accessories come in

    That stuff looks great! Mine used to look that good. They will soon enough though. I think I'll be painting them tomorrow.

    People who have powdercoated front accessories come in

    see I knew this was going to be too much trouble. Maybe I'll just blast and paint them again..............

    People who have powdercoated front accessories come in

    I have a few questions: 1. Is it easy to take the alternator apart to coat the case? I searched and couldn't find very good info. 2. Can the water pump be coated? Does it matter that coating would get on the shaft where it meets the body? Any other input or things I should communicate to...

    AFR 165 pedestal rockers and valve cover options

    Yeah but I will definitely not be putting aftermarket rockers on my gt40Ps. I see no benefit in doing so. I'm looking at the 190cc track heats as well since they will clear stock pistons. I think it would be a decent head that would allow me to use my current headers and also make bigger...

    AFR 165 pedestal rockers and valve cover options

    That is good to know. Sounds like a nice setup. I'm now thinking about keeping my GT40P or getting AFR185 which I could use down the road if I build a motor. Unless I get a really good deal on some 165s it really doesn't make sense for me to get them.

    Blown Head Gasket with pics

    I already did up the torque. I did 80 on the bottom bolts and 90 on the uppers. I've used these torques a few times in the past with good luck. yup, 9333 gaskets.

    AFR 165 pedestal rockers and valve cover options

    Nevermind, it sounds like the upgraded springs are recommeded in boosted applications.

    AFR 165 pedestal rockers and valve cover options

    would the upgraded AFR springs actually be a bad thing for me with my stage 1 cam revving to 6000? Or could I go with either spring?

    AFR 165 pedestal rockers and valve cover options

    I'm located in Michigan. I've been running these gt40Ps for 5 years with my turbo setup. I'm not looking for any more power and will get different heads for sure if I ever decide to build a shortblock. Therefore, I consider my future plans to be irrevalent. I've put my stock rockers on many...

    AFR 165 pedestal rockers and valve cover options

    I'm fixing a blown head gasket right now and am thinking about getting some AFR 1472 (pedestal) just to ditch some weight, maybe get better head seal, and hopefully make the same power with a little lower boost. Right now I have GT40Ps with stock push rods and rockers. I'm using FRPP valve...

    Blown Head Gasket with pics

    Upon removal the HG wasn't as "blown" as I thought it would be (one cylinder and not even through metal ring). The entire passenger side gasket shows black deterioration at the top of all four cylinders. The driver’s side looks way better. Any ideas why they look so different and why the...

    Loss of Oil Pressure

    Crap got in your pan so not surprising. Also you still haven't put an oil pressure gauge on it like I said from day one so I have nothing new to tell you.

    94 gt Turbo quesions

    Based in your questions and your concern about reliability you probably shouldn't be buying a turbo. Just being honest because they can be a lot of work.

    So even with my added car weight my car is still a touch lighter than yours since I weigh more than 120lbs.

    Here are the springs. Not sure what the spring rate is though. All I know it's it's rather high. H&R Mustang Super Sport Springs, set of 4 [51651.77] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader!
