i finally had time this weekend to do some installs and fab work for my next mods. i installed the Sun hyper voltage GT system and a Greddy radiator breather tank. i also got rid of the black tarp under hood and painted the underside of the hood with some Thermo-Tec hi-heat coating paint. then finished it off with a hi temp clear coat. i also go my real carbon fiber front bumper inserts. as for the performance of these mods i'd say it's minimal. i did it mainly for looks. i think it looks pretty cool under there now. i took a bunch of pics for your viewing pleasure. let me know what you guys think


Sun hyper voltage GT system and Greddy breather tank


ok.... the only writing i understood was....greddy and breather tank


ok remember the picture on the package? this is what i got! dull aluminum tank.


so........ i took it to my polishing guy. two hrs later he gives me this


the tank came with a bracket, i decided to make my own. the included one would not work for me in my install spot.








new hoses from the breather tank to the radiator and over-flo tank


had to tap into the lower radiator hose. i had to get a Greddy hose adapter








next was the voltage system. it also comes with brackets, i wanted to make my own cool looking one. came up with a design and began cutting the aluminum sheet.


came up with this. i planned on mounting it in front of the radiator, there were two bolts i could utilize.




here im testing out the fitment. the two bolts hold it very securely.


i painted it black with hi-heat engine paint. i also made a small cover out of some plexi, to match my batter cover












some shots of the underside of my hood






CF bumper inserts


Greddy strut bar

thanks for looking comments welcome!

 

Too sick...

 

Very organized and super clean...

 

your car looks high tech, lol

 

I hate you! Haha looks great man, I love everything. You also just made me realize I should do something to mine about taking the material off the hood. haha.

 

wtfux yo i don't even know what those things do but they look CLEAN !

 

Your engine bay looks like straight art work. And I love it.

 

ever thought of making the "greedy" on the strutbar CF?

I like the bracket for the voltage kit, and u my friend are a polishing pheen, engine bay looks sick, but sadly the battery plexiglass is looking out of place now

thought of trimming it down and dropping it down sort of like to seperate the battery from the entire engine bay, impressive fab'ing skills

 

you mean the entire straight bar? or just the lettering? never thought of that. on the battery plexi, thats an idea! but then it wouldn't flow with the rest of the engine covers. i like that it covers alot of the wiring and some of those hoses under the lower painted edge. dont give me any more crazy ideas

yeah, i like to add my own personal touch so designing and fab'ing comes easy to me. thanks bro

 

Thats not even an engine bay anymore, its like.....fuck idk what it's like....its like a very clean organized meleculator atomic organism circumfrence of the earths atmosphere...did that make sence? you get my point

good job!

 

lol!!! i missed that, the polishing guy i use is like 5 mins from my house and does good work, FAST! he's the same guy that did my ATLP exhaust, i dropped the tank off, then he calls me like not even two hrs later to pick it up! $15 and it looks 10X's better.

 

haha! yeah, i dunno looking at it again, kinda reminds me of something out of the Matrix with all those braided hoses and CF. im picturing one of those flying squid tentacle things

 

SICK!

 

Very neat and clean! Have you thought about doing anything to the white coolant overflow thing? lol

 

what does the breather tank do?????

 

with a breather tank and fully filled system it allows room for air expansion, reducing chances of overheating due to air-lock. Without the breather tank, it is possible for air bubbles which get very hot to develop inside your cooling system, reducing cooling efficiency.

 

ask him how much it would cost to polish the thermoblock, I have been pheening for a polished thermoblock

 

JP...you're an animal!

 

meticulous is what comes to mind when seeing your mods and engine bay. Nice job. How does the car feel with the mods?

 

You're engine bay looks cleaner than my dining room table. hahah Nice work.

 

Wow that's one sick engine bay. That engine cover is

 

wow just amazing!
if i had a polish guy near by, i'd polish every single metal parts i have as well!!!!

cleanest engine bay i've seen so far.

 

I've been looking at these pictures back and forth, and i have to definitely make a comment on the attention to details of your work jptl04. Just clean and well thought of, even the way you make the brackets and things...not a "slap it on and i'm happy with it" job, just flawless bro-i admire your work, awesome job x2

 

lol! thanks!
yeah im kinda anal about what goes on my car. the car feels great! i need to get this mo-fo tunned though to take full advantage of all the mods.
funny!
thanks bro! first CF engine cover for 07-08 type-s

thank you! yeah, i like shiny things throttle body next, maybe.

 

Dude Loving the engine compartment, very clean. Five stars man. Bump.

 

Whats a PHEEN? Did you mean FRIEND?

 

i'm jealous =[

 

he means "fiend" like someone who is hooked or addicted to something.

 

Wow dude, impressive.

pheen = fiend

 

Your engine bay is INSANE now! It's the most unique and clean one i've seen. As before, good job on the execution here.

 

your engine bay is immaculate!!!

 

hahah cant believe I spelled it wrong. Yea I know what he meant, just giving him a hard time.

 

JP...you ought to give SERIOUS consideration to doing the carbon fiber hood. What a great compliment it would be to your engine compartment.

 

Amazing work man. Kudos to you for sure!

 

nice engine bay although id agree that the plexiglass throws it off a bit due to its size..

but the nicest thing in these pictures, imo, is definatly your grill pm me with info if you wouldnt mind

 

so....... the nicest thing in all those pics to you, is the grill?
you lost me bro!................it's a stock 07 TL grill

 

^ lol.

You car is dope. I love everything you've done.
