The Official "Engine Bay" Picture Thread

how do i get that as an option? call ETS? I was just quoting what SU, PG and CS have on their sites. No need to be short (drinks)

 

[SHAGwagn]

anyone know if powder coating the end tanks will retain heat and make the TMIC inefficient? Im really digging that black and red setup for my TR.

 

[DaleNixon]

I called ETS directly and orderd a new black shroud from them. They told me they anodize. The one I painted ended in disaster. It's possible ********** does the powdercoating themselves on their TMIC. From what I've read, even rattle can spray paint on an intercooler won't affect BATs in any appreciable way.

kool that makes sense and is a possibility..is the TMIC u bought the same price directly through ETS? Thanks Dale

 

[SHAGwagn]

seems they are a bunch of liars...this is their website (dunno)

If you call them and ask about coloring options they say they anodize as well. This is a custom coloring option that is better and more expensive that powdercoating.

I bought my TMIC used from a forum member. I'm not sure what the pricing's like these days.

If you order the TMIC from ETS online they will charge you shipping. Call them and they will give you free shipping therefore the same price as PG and SU

this one is mine. still more to come.

When I was talking to them they said to Anodize the intercooler it would cost $80. Their color options are Black, Blue, Red, and Gold.

Wow that's pretty cheap compared to SU's powerdercoating. So I could get the shroud and endtanks anodized for 80? Sorry for asking u so many Qs, I'm in Asia and it's 4 bucks a min to call the states.

Red andodized is the one that comes off as pink right? Maybe I cud have them anodize the shroud black then I just hit the end tanks with high temp engine paint after some taping. I assume it wudnt get ****** up since nothing sits on the endtanks to seal.

Yea I think they said $60 for powedercoating as well.

Red anodized does come off as pink I believe but I'm not sure.
