block and intake plenum is like 10 coats of duplicolor high-temp "aluminum cast coat." The valve cover is krylon wrinkle paint, left out in the 95* sunshine to dry.
I'm probably going to fill in the writing on the valve cover with kawasaki green, but silver is my fallback.

All the locals are already talking **** about how "oh the static compression is too low and its going to be sluggish off boost, the turbo is too big, it won't have supercharger torque, and it won't run on megasquirt."
I'm going from a tired 1.6 to a 1.9l at roughly the same static compression, so I'm pretty sure I won't notice any difference. I've been driving the car on ms for 3k miles or so, no one believes that I have it in the car actually. For the rest, I won't glorify the with an answer. Dallas has a stupid miata scene.
I'm ready to get this car on the dyno and put down 250lb/ft.

I just dropped my turbo manifold, exhaust housing, and downpipe off for jet-hot coatings inside and out. The guy said he's seen as much as a 110* reduction in temps under the hood.
