Question; Swain apparently has a 3wk turnaround on coatings right now (actually my manifold is a wk late atm), are the downpipes looking like end of May before we'd see them? Making some hard decisions, I'm not sure I can get the downpipe coated/returned and an exhaust fabbed in time for a trip on 6-30.
Edit- Looks like they can coat it used, since they blast the parts before coating. Good to know. |

Oil and water line kits are nearly finalized as well. I'm waiting for some production samples and then I'll release some photos and pricing.
The oil feed line is -4AN, SS braid, sized to run from the oil pressure port under the intake manifold to the turbo. The outer coating is a nylon sheath to protect the rest of the engine bay from the abrasive SS lines. The drain is -10AN, same construction. Attachment 232681 The water lines took some time to get right, but boy, are they right. :) Seamless 304SS tube, all steel fittings, CNC bent, and properly supported. They will last forever in any environment. Attachment 232682 |
Any option for a 6an line as discussed in this thread?

Oops, didn't mean to start something. I thought everyone read the tech document.
Those stainless tubes are looking mighty fine. |
Will there be an option for coolant-only lines? I have a hose barb (whatever the FM2 kit uses), can we get the details on the fitting for the return line/pan union?

Just got the manifold back from SwainTech, here's the white lightning coating. The high spots near flanges were hit with a file and sit flush now. Interesting texture, I think this is going to do some work. Hardware was resbonded in before I had it coated, probably for the best :D

Studs don't look square with each other. Was it like that before sending it out?
|
Good eye, I just took a look and the top-rear stud is bent... Didn't happen during shipping, I packed the same box the manifold came in with more material to ship it. Can a resbonded stud be extracted..?

Walk me through it, am I looking at heat and prayers kind of not easy or a cut, drill and tap kind? May be relevant to others who have this happen :party:
Edit; I'm going to try to convince it to move back when I get home- it doesn't look to have moved very far. First thread got damaged a small amount though, hope I can screw down over it because I don't think I can chase inconel studs lol |

Resbond breaks with hand-tools. No heat, just double-nut and extract. Same as installation
|
Will there be a code for pre-order peeps to use for the line kits?
