Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
Will do, I should have the fuel fittings this week, but the car is in storage and it is damn cold here. Not to mention my birthday is this weekend so I doubt much will get done lol

You should thermal disperse coat the FMIC like you mentioned... Would be a damn good sleeper.

and happy birthday!

Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
Hey thanks for the birthday wishes. I contacted swain tech today but I am not sure if a 2-5% reduction in IAT is worth almost $300 lol

When you're all-ready balls deep, another cm is inconsequential

Aren't the thermal disperse coatings ceramic based (like what MAP does on their intake manifolds)? That wouldn't be good for an intercooler. Everything I've read so far points to anodizing if you wanted a black sleeper look. ETS charges $100 to anodize an FMIC, not a bad price.

Nice build btw, and welcome to the forum.

Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
Actually no, heat dispersion coatings are designed to "pull" heat from what they are applied to where as ceramic coatings are insulators, holding heat in.

Hard to be a sleeper with a 1G. The only 1Gs still out there are modded to hell, nobody is going to expect a clean 1G on the road to not have power.

Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
But will they expect a 42r powered 1g...I doubt it. I thought about getting a license plate that says
Evo316G or 20GPWR

Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
Shane is totally right on the clean 1G thing not being a sleeper thing. But yeah welcome to the forums and it be cool to see what it puts down. Reminds me alot of Leasures 1g w/ the dual tial BOVs/42R ect...

OP did you see his build thread on his 1G? I know you said something about his EVO.

There is definitely at least one 1g DSM on the streets today that is clean and not modded to hell

Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
Oh, I'm working on it. My supplier was out of a few of the fittings I needed. I also work about 25 hours a week and I am a full time nursing student so I don't have a lot of free time, but I am slowly working away.

Ha, I just painted my front mount a satin black for the sleeper look this year. The Archer Bros sidemount just wasn't cutting it with 255's in front.
