Sweet man. Sounds good. Sounds a alot better than the magnaflow I have :P

And 2.5 exhaust is fine. backpressure is the enemy. The free-er flowing the better mang!

hazzardboy95 · 03-21-2007, 02:58 PM

Yep, gotta get a header before I take it to the header. Nice thread man.

klyph · 03-21-2007, 03:51 PM

Hot rex.

But you gotta do something with that valve cover.

Andrew · 03-21-2007, 03:53 PM

Yeah yeah, I know..

I'm thinking type arrrrr red... whatchu guys think?

klyph · 03-21-2007, 03:56 PM

Yeah, but powdercoat it and block sand the lettering.

Andrew · 03-21-2007, 04:02 PM

Sounds like a plan.
Just got off the phone with one of the powder coaters here in town, and he quoted me like $60-70 for the blasting and powdering, so I'm gonna shop around a little bit more and see what I can do.

I'd like to do it when I adjust my valves, since it'll be off anyway. So I guess in the next couple of weeks it should be done.

Amazon.com: VHT SP204: Paint, Wrinkle Plus, Red, 11 oz., Aerosol Spray Can, Each: Automotive

Andrew · 03-21-2007, 04:21 PM

Hmm. now thats interesting.

I guess I'll have to try it out and see how it good it works!
I think my buddy here in town has a blaster that we can blast my VC with, then I'll paint it on. we'll see.

Thanks for the link eg6

klyph · 03-21-2007, 05:55 PM

Wrinkle paint will look like just as good, but won't hold up like powdercoating. But I guess for the price of powdercoating, you could wrinkle paint it about ten times

Andrew · 03-21-2007, 06:23 PM

Whaaat??

$11 shipping on an $11 can of paint? forget that!
I'll find something around town.

Taco15 · 03-21-2007, 08:15 PM

good luck. i know i havent found any. Neither has Cliff. At least nothing even close to a type R red. Cliff actrually managed to trace one in town but he might have to order it for himself. I'm willing to go 1/2;s with you if you want it. I need to redo 2 VC. in red

eg6sir · 03-21-2007, 08:30 PM

here is another place that has it..
Caswell Inc. - High Temperature Coatings ..
scroll down

mac_24_seven · 03-22-2007, 07:15 AM

I'll chip in as well. I'm painting my valve cover IT-Arrg red as well.

Andrew · 03-22-2007, 12:41 PM

Well, that site is a little cheaper, so I'm buying 2 cans to make it worth my while, and it's only $8 shipping.

Terrance and Abel, I'll let you guys know when it gets in.

eg6sir · 03-22-2007, 01:17 PM

i was researching paints earlier this week.. hehe.. i have a GSR valve cover on the way, i'm gonna do one the way i want.. that way no down time while the shit dries

Andrew · 03-22-2007, 07:01 PM

Well, thanks for those links man. I went with the Caswell company. I ordered 2 wrinkle red cans, so I guess we'll do it when it gets in!

skrotm · 03-23-2007, 05:22 PM

you can get black wrinkle paint at almost any auto parst store.

Taco15 · 03-23-2007, 10:58 PM

yeah i had my friend do it for me on another valve cover. it turned out really nice. I'm doing my oem black and my JDM cover Krinkle red again. It's pretty faded.

TheManRSW · 03-23-2007, 11:28 PM

I invested in the crinkle red JDM valve cover on my b16. I think it adds a nice touch to my otherwise stock engine (Tsudo 4-1 header and skunk 2 intake manifold). I also painted the spark plug wire cover in a crinkle black. Nice contrast to my otherwise white engine bay in my opinion. Your engine looks good, very clean and a great write up. I swapped out my d16 z6 in my 95 del sol si for a j-spec b16. I sold my old engine to a fella putting it in a crx. I think the d16 in a crx would be a lot of fun...but I just wanted a little more. Can't beat the pitch change when vtec kicks in on a b16.

skrotm · 04-04-2007, 10:14 PM

dude, because of me seeing this post while lookin for some brake info, u caused me to do a wire tuck and paint my engine bay while i waited on misc. parts for my crx. i wish i had waited to put most of the shit on my engine though. nothing fit at first. during installation i broke my iac, tps, fuel filter, and scratched the shit outta my freshly painted engine bay. turbo hit the intercooler, radiator still doenst fit right, and theres NO room to work on this thing. i shoulda did a kswap. so everybody stick to n/a bseries in a crex. ill post some pics of my crex tomorrow. but thanx andrew.

klyph · 04-05-2007, 02:18 AM

Live and learn skrotm.
You gotta employ your ghetto fab ninja skillz to turbo the CRX.
O yeah, and a measuring tape

Andrew · 04-05-2007, 08:09 AM

Can't really say it much better than Klyph.

BTW guys, ITB's coming soon!!

Should have them together in the next few weeks. Then comes Dyno graphs!
Don't think I've forgotten about you guys...

-Andrew

mac_24_seven · 04-05-2007, 08:57 AM

So your gonna hold on out the dyno'ing untill youget the ITB's or are you gonan dyno it now and later w/the ITB's?

Personally, I think you need to do a before and after so you can tell the difference ya know?

I knwo I"m gonna pick up a good 20+ hp w/my stuff.. You don't.
