Bailey. Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 To be honest guys i just need to have a think, i was going with the s362 and that has proved good results. I need to get the turbo soon, then i can make my mind up on the wastegates and decide whether to sell and get some compgates or go custom with things. Yup make the right choice first time round, saves alot of hassle that way. only thing i would say is read this thread is do your homework, i was ready to buy a bw but couldnt find in one case where they out spooled or out powered a equally sized precision unit, hence why i switched to a 6765 at the last minute.

Rob_Mitchell Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Well after much dicussion and researching the S372 which jamie was selling i have decided to stay with the Borg Warner range and go for a S362. Sadly the S372 was unsuitabe for my build due to the stock autobox but what a turbo , and a big thanks to jamie and lee for having the time today to help me out. Our friends on the supraforums oversea's have also been great and also highly rate the 62 & 66, i think i have made the right choice and cant wait to get it ordered up.

Rob_Mitchell Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 I have found a pic which may have turned my thoughts to going orange bay and not shiney black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 ahh now thats nice, maybe black would be too dull after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 i have that picture on my computer have to say its up in my top favourites, and personally i think the bay should always be the same colour as the car. but thats just my opinion.

Rob_Mitchell Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 ahh now thats nice, maybe black would be too dull after all ha ha, ill just decide at a later date but im digging the orange. i have that picture on my computer have to say its up in my top favourites, and personally i think the bay should always be the same colour as the car. but thats just my opinion. first time i have seen that engine bay and its a inspiration for me, looks stunning. I have also thought the engine bay should be colour coded but i also think black would pop out the bling. Im definately swaying more to the orange now should look fresh.

Guigsy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Depends on the colour of the engine if the bay is gold and your gold plating everything it will be too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Depends on the colour of the engine if the bay is gold and your gold plating everything it will be too much. The engine bay will be orange not gold, i see your point though and black would pop it out more. hmmm decisions decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 if you decided to go black, would you do it a matt black so the engine is the total focus or a gloss so the bay is shiny and part of the whole display? something else to consider maybe lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Orange FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Black bay. The orange bay won't show the Gold of the engine off at all and you'll be forever telling people what's gold and what's chrome as they may think it's all chrome but it's looking orange/gold from the reflection.

bobapple Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Personally I would colour code the bay to the rest of the car, as that always niggles me with resprays looks like you just sprayed the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Phill has been sticking his opinions in Josh has made a very good point about having an orange bay though... gloss black... mmmm... (homer drool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 dont think a different bay colour looks good, looks a bodge job IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 dont think a different bay colour looks good, looks a bodge job IMO I have to agree but if you want it black then why not be different and fade the the black to orange so it looks different. could look cool!
