Quick Update.

Zircotec will have completed ceramic coating my manifold tommorow. So hopefully will be deliverd back to me on monday.

Just been on the phone to graham goode racing regarding the CAI kit. They are going to do a couple of custom tweaks for me. The spun aluminium heat shield will be anodised black for me.

Now there is method in my madness.. everyone thinks that black is a rubbish colour for heat managment. This is not quite right. Black is the best colour for raidiating heat out from a material quickly.

Ali is a rubbish material becuase it retains heat really badly. hopefully the black anodising will reduce heat soak from the engine bay. It will also look nice and OEM when fitted with the black samco hose i have spec'd.. :-D

Exhaust has been spec'd and priced with tony from pumaspeed. Really nice chap and will be ordered on Monday from them.

Then we move onto the dyno once it is all fitted for a back to back comparison..

Then it will be a custom re-map with cam's to what additonal power this gives me. then the rickwood head goes on plus another re-map.. the idea being to see what each upgrade will give, what you gain and what you lose where..
