What have you done to your P5 today?

[dave45090]

Bala, for some reason I'm surprised you haven't "turboed" your P5. Yeah yeah....I know....you already have a MSP.

Edit: I just discovered the answer to this post by catching up on the "custom problem cam" thread. One problem at a time.

lol yes, or you'll have a special edition 'vented' intake. Unfiltered air = bad...

who said it was unfiltered?

 

[aMaff]

Ok, here's how this works: rubbing on master cylinder leads to a hole in the intake which leads to unfiltered air. Didn't think I'd have to spell it out...

He speaks the truth.

well i dont have a hole b/c i took the itake off the other day and it wasnt there. i'll check it out and see if there are rubbing marks or if the noise is something else

Got my header back from Jet-Hot, this time with Extreme Sterling. I'm stoked - they even followed my request to mask off the EGR threads ...

Thats pretty sweet, what header is that the awr???

 

[amsgator]

You know, I thought about rolling thru to see if I could find your car but I wasn't sure which development you were in........I am currently at work at the DC across from you right now. Gotta be here until 6a.m. Pretty much blows but it's easy right now and I am getting paid so I can't complain too much other than it is a holiday weekend....Ahhh well, I did pick up a ticket for the Columbus Crew MLS game tomorrow afternoon before I have to be back here tomorrow night. Should be kinda cool.

hey yaggie you should swing by and say hi if you have some time. Pm me if you do so i could see a fellow board member (headbang)(headbang)

Thanks - and yes, it's the OBX. I'm with you on wanting to see how this "extreme" coating holds up. Here's the header with original Sterling two years ago:

Here's how it looked after 23 months and 18K miles ... I will admit that it had to live with WOT conditions on a regular basis (glare) Heh - try merging into LA traffic on a daily basis ...

The final straw that got the header sent back for a warranty re-coat: Backside at the collector

I'll be keeping an eye on it ... the new extreme sterling is not quite as shiny, but has a higher temp rating. Jet-Hot was cool about the warranty issue (2 years) and only charged me $50 to upgrade to "extreme". Will continue to eval ...

 

[DeadGeneration]

I don't know where the master cylinder is in relationship to the intake

 

[NCZ13]

isnt the master cylinder right above it? just below the battery.

 

[Bala]

I don't know where the master cylinder is in relationship to the intake

It's actually back a bit a between the battery and intake - you can see it in this shot ... it's really close at the elbow with my K&N intake, like 1/4" - some other aftermarket brands have even less clearance, you just need to loosen all of the couplers and adjust ...

LOL not even close. AWR = 4 - 2 - 1 (tri-y)

last pic. so whaddya think? cant see the black too well with the wheel on since its only a camera phone but it looks great.

ADD - anyone that wants to do this. Do yourself a favor and buy a wire brush attachment. The kind that has the bristles coming out from the sides. I think my hand would have fallen off if i did it by hand. thanks god for 18V drills.
