downpipe/mani/turbo coated and get the vented hood

 

I've seen people making their own oil cooler for pretty cheap. I'd would think about do jethot coated also. I think cut oem hood looks pretty good if it done right.

 

Sorry I was trying to direct you to the airflow things, but I now don't see any for 2004+ model years just the 00-03. Kinda like Joey was talking about, cutting out the little fake air duct things. I may give these a try though. Not sure where you located your intake but SOUL Coughing moved his to the wheel well and stated it really helped.

 

I guess I could look around here to see if there is a place to get it coated. But I doubt it... this place sucks for stuff like that.

I wouldn't know where to begin to make an oil cooler setup with the greddy relocation stuff. That's why I was going to take the easy route and just buy the greddy cooler.

And I'm sure I could make those grill inserts... I just want to see how joey did it. I have an idea of how I can route the intake pipe to get freash air, but I'm not going to cut up my good one. I'm trying to get another to experiment on.

 

I've heard the coatings flake off after a while.

Oil cooler is easy to make but, again, it's not going to help with your under the hood temps

 

Tune to E85 gas like I did temps stay down where they belong!

I don't want to go out of my way to get e85...

 

Well here is how I kept my temps down.

Ceramic coated everythng . DP , hotside , manifold , entire exhaust , intercooler pipes , intake and I have a turbo blanket.

Used a 160 thermostat , mishi rad , fal fans and removed the ac system to let the rad have less restriction of air comming in.

My under hood temps are pretty damn good and I never get above 163 degrees in 100 degree humid Texas weather.

 

Jethot is one of best coating company, I will use them again for sure. Only bad thing is you have to ship your parts but its worthy imo.

Yeah, if you not sure where to start or noone can help you then I think buying a kit is best way too.

Looks like godmachine's list is pretty much everything you can do. Good luck.

 

Vent the hood/get a vented hood I run a full race manifold and a turbo blanket on my car and before I vented my hood both my fenders and my hood would be hot and id be sweating inside the car in 90 degree weather after venting everything was way cooler especially since I have a vent over my manifold probably the best and cheapest thing I've done to the car so far cooler in the car and both fenders are nowhere near as warm as before.
