Crapri Drag Car

[Tocchi]

also did a few little things while I was doing oil pump gears.

got a few parts ceramic coated (waiting to pick up),

sump in the chrome coat

timing cover in the chrome coat

alternator in a blue candy.

will be getting more done, but I just got these done due to the fact its easier to do these the first time.

where as the rocker cover is easy to remove at a latter date.

same with the turbo, water pump, and some other trick parts that will get done. or have trick stuff on them.

anyways, as I said above, I got little things done while the the engine was "apart"

that included removing the water pump, and removing its impeller so I can run a inline electric CWP (craig davies electric water pump).

all I have to do is weld the 2 'holes' and it will be all ready to use. I also have to remove the thermostat, and block some of its lines/holes, but I can do that at a latter date

and more importantly, the car will be going to Allfast this coming Monday for the driveline to be fitted :D

will be bunking there with Matt's Turbo EF (which is getting a T400 fitted)

and here is the bling, but more importantly, it has a role to play. the big players in International drag racing ceramic coat their sumps to keep the heat IN the oil.

if you can have oil at temperature with a cold block, you make more HP

whats the turn around time from when you send the parts to when you get them back when getting them coated. Was thinking of getting a few things done.

Damn I wish I had your state of mind, my philosophy is blow $300 on booze and strip clubs now and build expensive cars later, but that's just me.
