98HT Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Love the cam covers. Did you first chrome the whole cover and then wrinkle paint over it? Can't wait to see what the 7175 will do on pump through an auto, especially with the little compression bump and stroker combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see what the 7175 will do on pump through an auto, especially with the little compression bump and stroker combo. I'm not sure to be honest, I think only the outer parts were done in chrome. The 7175 will do good with the 3.4 plus I'll be running an ethonol mix too. Spool should be superb infact not much different to notice than my gt35 I had before I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Wow, is it hard chrome I'm loving the chrome look. very hard process to chrome the "monkey metal" or aluminium! Lee has found a real gem in the guy he uses and the finish looks incredible. I would imagine it costs a real fortune but for ease of cleaning is worth it imo. looks the bollox Kaan! great work by Lee and the team.

Lee P Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 why would you go new oem coilpacks instead of uprated ones, just interested OEM coil packs work just fine at any power level and last Have had loads of issues with aftermarket coils so we choose the ones that work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, very talented people that SRD bunch Looking the dogs danglies Kaan Cheers Mark How's yours coming along now? why would you go new oem coilpacks instead of uprated ones, just interested As Lee said, going by recent threads also you just can't beat a set of OEM coil packs especially if your running more power.

jazz1 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 As above I read a lot on after market coils failing, the end result people on supraforums resulted back to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 As above I read a lot on after market coils failing, the end result people on supraforums resulted back to stock. That's exactly what I did. I binned the supersparks after 2 months, as I started to have misfires. OEM work at any powerlevel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew K Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Excited myself to see the engine in but nowhere near as much as you must be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Excited myself to see the engine in but nowhere near as much as you must be Some bad news.... The engine won't be able to go in unless the strut tower is cut and modified to make room for the turbo. I thought it might close but not that close, but you just can't tell until the time comes. Lee's gunno mark out where the strut needs cutting and have the car sent away for modding of the strut.
