If you are considering doing an AT kit sometime next year I am going to hold out for this kit. It would be late next year before I could do something like this anyways.
Again, amazing CLEAN work. |

Question for Sasha
Would you recommend header wrap on the piping to hold in heat and reduce turbo heat transfer to the transmission and floor of the car? Or maybe even ceramic coating or would it just be overkill? So far I am extreamly impressed!

There is a lot of air moving around there so the heat transfer would be minimal at best. |

Darn car is showing up everywhere! Here it is taking 2nd place at the EME Day Show and Shine in Edmonton.... Note the iPad on the engine cowl. It is running a slide show of Sasha's work!
2nd you say? Ya. Some twerp with a barely modded subie talked the judges into giving him first for having a racing seat....

I do have customers down in the southern U.S where it does get very hot. It is simply not an issue at all. I also have one customer who really beats up on the car (build motor as well), autocross, drag, top speed events..ect. Not a single issue, and this is with an already crappy 2004 350z transmission. With the 350z's I have the filter sit close to the exhaust manifold, and the top part of the filter (rubber) is about 1" away of the header. No signs of heat damage. Air is a very poor heat conductor. The kit is track proven. |

sounds good, but have you ever sat in houston traffic at rush hour in August? the freeway surface alone is over 100 degrees. add in all the other cars heat and the fact your not just idling, you are revving a lil, moving forward then stopping..... your product looks great, im just curious to conditions this kit would be seeing around my area. |
