I will fix for sure the brake light... Within these months I was too busy looking at the engine bay instead :) Next mods DEI silicone spray on the exhaust mainfold/downpipe/turbo ceramic + DEI Titanium best wrapping out there. In need of upgraded front suspension + semi-slics tires... Just booked some drag races for next weekend :) |

Thanks changchewsoon that will be an option for the coming future but still not in need since my intercooler hold intake temps below 25c @ 9psi.
First option will be upgrading to larger injectors maybe 632cc ones then upping the boost to finally another good tuneup session |

is your current injector size insufficient? i bought FIC 445cc injectors but have not used them yet.

Well got my hands dirty again removing downpipe and several connections to prepare them for thermal wrapping etc... and I began wondering about the braking system.
During the last runs I noticed that the braking of the car takes too much to come to a stop also when not driving that fast. I am suspecting that the heat generated by the turbo exhaust chamber is causing the "compensator" situated just few cm behind to overheat o-rings inside. I am thinking of moving the hole part to the right (front view) but that makes some more work and more expenses... I also thought of coating it with silicone spray which is designed for extreme temperatures like turbos. What do you suggest me to do? |

Hard time to remove exhaust but finally coming to an end!
Turbo exhaust chamber, downpipe and exhaust manifold coated with DEI silicone high temp resistance paint. After paint dry wrapped turbo and downpipe with DEI titanium wrapping. Hopefully to get better engine bay temps. Next...... - Finishing some wiring organization - Red paint to engine cover and turbo/intercooler tubing - Adding sandwich adapter for oil temp and pressure |

Parmas, here is the insulation box I made for the fuel system. Just a thought. You could do the same thing for your brake cylinder in the engine bay -- or anything else. This is pretty stiff aluminum with insulation on one side:

Some enhanced new looks.... All paint is designed to work above 500DegreesF.
Next completition of new coolant piping which will be come blue... Also done lots of shielding at the back panel area to protect brake lines from overheating. |
