Daniel at TSS....

Who is doing the tuning?

 

[Doug1227]

Thanks...we moved into our new house in December and I had it coated before we moved in. I love it!

I like the garage floor!

Which company did you use?

 

[Doug1227]

The epoxy is SW Tile Clad High Solids 2-part epoxy. The clear is Rexthane Polyurethane. He did 2 coats of epoxy and one coat of clear. I had a guy off of Craigslist do it. $1200 for 600sq. ft.

Smart choice!

 

[Doug1227]

U bet.

[Doug1227]

This is my first time using him but I've heard lots of good things about him and his tunes!

Smart choice!

Nice build OP, looks great! Did you restrict the feed lines on the turbos? Or did you flow them hot? Getting any smoke?

 

[Doug1227]

I bought the kit used and it included the restrictors on the oil feed lines. I think I may be getting some oil smoke, but I'm also burning off a lot of residual stuff right now, so I'm not positive. I haven't flowed it yet, but probably will just to make sure. I can't stand a car that smokes out of the exhaust, so I'll do whatever I need to prevent that!

 

[Quesplosive]

Hell MF yeah. I know you bout to kill it. Great to see another Hellion twin car rolling out!!!

 

[Doug1227]

Thanks! Can't wait for the dyno!

I charged the AC last night. I ended up buying the Armageddon modified AC line as I really liked getting it down and away from the hotside. It has a modified metal end that basically points it straight down and then it comes back up to the compressor. This keeps all of the rubber line away from the header and downpipe. Charged the system with freon last night and it's blowing a nice 44* at the vent! Yes! I've got just a couple more items to test and I'll be putting the bumper cover back on and taking it around the block. I need to work it through all of the gears and get it warm so I can check the transmission fluid level. I didn't lose hardly any when I pulled the stock converter, and I put one quart in the new converter, so I don't think it will need much, but I want to make sure. I won't be building the tranny (knock on wood) until next year.

I like that line. They came out with it after I had already installed my kit but it's definitely a nice piece. Do you have any installed pictures of it?

 

[Doug1227]

I don't, but you can't even see it from the top! From the hard line by the battery, it turns straight down and loops back up to the compressor. There's only about 6" of hose that's within 2" of the downpipe. I wrapped just that part just to be safe.

 

[171472]

Very nice!

 

[JUIC3D]

Right on. I'm doing an install for a customer and might have him buy that line, just to be safe. I've had mine moved/wrapped for about 20k miles without an issue but it was a pain in the ass moving that line. lol

 

[Doug1227]

Yeah, it's expensive, but better than breaking something or having a custom line made.

Thats cool. Yeah run it through all the gears and get all that residual burnt off before you start restricting it. Some need it, some don't. Flowing them is easy but make sure and do it hot.

I made a custom AC line, SS braided and heat wrapped lol.
