Just make sure your high-temp engine paint doesn't clash with your engine bay paint.

Nah, that shit pictured is primer. Vlad called up Dupi-Color and they are making him a can of custom imola red high temp paint solely based off the fact that he is a BAMF.

They are even paying him to use it.

Doing all that work to pretty up the engine bay, and you're keeping those boat anchor exhaust manifolds? Sorry man, but even painted, those things are awful. Even a cheap pair of shorty headers would be not only MUCH lighter, but look a million times better than those things.

painting them red helps bigtime.

just kidding. :D

Adds 50 hp....

One of my architecture school classmate's theory was, "If you can't make it good, make it big. If you can't make it big, make it red."

I see not much has changed with you, Vlad.

I agree, even some ebay headers. Long tube or actual headers look so much better.

The last resto e30 he did was painted alpine white

Yeah, but it wasn't a four door Mtech II. :D

[vlad]

so the last 2 days were spent ordering and installing hundreds of dollars worth of parts: all new gaskets, all new tune-up parts, all new hoses, bolts, seals, etc...

this motor will have all of the seals, gaskets and other parts pretty much new.



also doing complete brake job as well



some parts getting fresh makeover







Also got these 19lbs injectors and Mark D chip from Levent



tomorrow the engine bay will be sprayed, more pics to follow

[325ix]

Those are some good pictures. I really enjoy looking at this thread because the project pictures are as good as photo shoot pictures!

[drulle]

wow, nice build, lets see how it comes out... I'm trying to build my 1991 Alpine White 4dr as well. :D
where are you from Vlad?

[vlad]

so we spent most of the Saturday putting the engine together and painting the engine bay...



only thing to do is to adjust the valves, put the new valve cover & the gasket on and put this baby in the car !

the engine bay is done







more pics on Mon!

Great color. So glad its not red. I do agree with the post above, them manifolds look like shiznit and same with the fan. Looks like you was on a honda forum before that stuff was painted.
Sorry if I didn't see it posted, but what wheels?
