Got the wire tuck going today. Made some decent progress, everything is laid out how I want it to sit except the driver's side headlight harness.. that needs some work.

My dad and I used an HVLP. High Velocity Low Pressure. We bought a gun from KC Auto paint, the brand is RAZR. Its really nice. Excellent atomization, which is what you want for good coverage.
Look for a HPLV gun. Though I don't know what is better, gravity feed or otherwise.
Gravity feed is typically what is used. I think the other forms are more for industrial stuff.

ok kool i did some research last night but the sites i looked at didnt say whether HPLV or LPLV would be better.. but i'll see if i can find some on Ebay lol

Np on the threadjack lol I'm here to help just like everyone else. I'm just going from experience, HVLP seems to lay down pretty nicely. I wouldn't have had any wetsanding to do on my car if I had done it in a booth.

Ceramic coating. It should be pretty ballin ;)
 
Haha, yeah. I don't want any of that.

An update for everyone, but sadly no pictures..
I got the harness pretty much squared away tonight. Tomorrow I need to do some soldering on the headlight harness. Thats about it. As soon as the harness goes back in, this bitch will be rollin! I need an IM gasket and an oil pressure sending unit for my gauges, and thats it!
 
my friend ryan has a teg gsr with a dc ex mani and its all rusty now, used to real sxy lookin but he never got it coated with anything... i told him like 3 years ago he should and he didnt

you on the other hand are a smart mofo :)

Thank you sir.

My Synapse wastegate was waiting for me on the doorstep when I got home.. :ph34r:
 
As of right now its just going as I get parts. I am kinda doing this paycheck to paycheck so I don't have to tap into my college money.

All I really need is some wire loom (which I'll be getting today), and intake manifold gasket (friday), and some vaccum line. Thats all I can think of right now but I'm guessing I'll find more stuff as I go along. Thinking it will prolly take me another 2 weeks at this point.
 
damn..i wanna see it all done!!!:D
but take your time,its really paying off
 
Pictarrz of the new wastegate..

Yumm..
pics of wiring harness progress tonight.. PROMISE! lol
 
Probably 11 lbs because I'll be on a stock map sensor. 11lbs should be plenty with the turbo I chose though. I'm guessing it will make somewhere around 350 whp.
