Don't. Header wrap keeps the heat in and causes it to rust quicker. I have a Racing Beat race header that was wrapped, and it's very thin in places. A better solution is to get a high-temp coating inside and outside the header. I had my Cadillac's headers coated by HPC and it significantly reduced underhood temps. The only real problem is that you'll have to get the pricier turbo/rotary engine coating. Expect to pay at least as much for the coating as for the header.

ok heres a update of what i am doing. I rewired the ignition and the car sounded great until it stumbled real bad. so i checked all the wiring I had done and all was ok, so i thought why not change the igniter. I had a spare sitting there so i swapped it out. guess what? The car no longer stumbled lol. One of the igniters went bad right after i changed the wiring. oh and yes here is a before and after.[attachment=40430:attachment] [attachment=40431:attachment]

Can i put a cas (crank angle sensor) from a 13b in my 12a and use the coils from a 2nd gen to use as ignition? I am curious because i want to minimize everything in the engine bay and get the wiring to a minimium. thanks in advance

I you put a cas in you would need a ecu wouldn't you??It would be interesting to see how it would run tho.

I think so to. Clean everything else up as well. I also put up another video to show you all the engine bay and what i have done so far... cheers

Looking good.Hows the paint overall on the car?Looks like a fun project.

The paint is in need of being redone. But i had a small leak in the oil cooler and wondered what was wrong. well the nipple on the oil cooler split. HOW DO I FIX IT?!!

Racer X

Do a search in this forum.Its been talked about alot on how to fix the coolers when they crack around the fittings.I went and bought Hayden heavy duty coolers for both my toys.
