chrome :yum: next paycheck i might have to send my mani's out.

what do u do when u rebuild the alternator?



it looks good nice work :bigthumg:

We replace the bushing and the diode while the alternator is apart for polishing

I'm probably going to have mine done soon.

I know this might be a dumb question but are Polished and chrome the same. Or is chrome more shinny and expensive, is there a difference in performance. thanks...

Polished aluminum will oxidize and requires maintenance and repolishing, the coating they use you can just wipe clean https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png ... can you guys do other parts like turbo compressors or front covers, how about front, intermediate, and rear housings?? etc? If so what would the price be on some stuff like that?

I can assume that you will do 2nd gen manifolds?

When you guys rebuild the alternator, could you upgrade it to put out more amps? I know this is possible just not sure if you guys do it. Also do you know what the stock alternator puts out in amps.

FD is supposed to be 100 Amps, I think the FC ran around 80 Amps..

Besides it looking great under the hood what other benefits come from polished pieces??

Nothing, it just looks better.

yeah something like 140amps would be nice. fyi the fc alt is 70amps.

lol.. When your hoods open dumb asses will flock to the front of your car and ask stupid questions... I think they are attracted to anything shinny, kinda like bugs to a light..

Its just for looks. Polished pieces realy make the engine bay stand out. Its much better looking than the dirty oxidized look aluminum takes on after time.

Someone asked if I can polished other parts too. We can do a stock mount intercooler and an efini y-pipe for $175 for both. If you want anything else polished just ask.

Chroming involves a coating being applied to the part. The benefit of this is that it is easier to maintain as you can just wipe it down with some windex or something. The process is also very expensive. I have a friend that spent over $2000 to chrome a number of parts in his engine bay. Chrome also adds weight.

Yeah, most people I've seen seem to notice a polished manifold before they notice a good turbo setup.

Well can you guys upgrade the stock alternator to put out more amps?

do u guys have FD alt already? i need one chrome, for my FC : )

well ok, can u guys rebuild a FC alt, an chrome it?

Check out my bling bling skillz.

I still want to get you guys to ceramic coat my LIM.

I did these two over the weekend.





I wish I had a better buffer..

Looks good.. but how much would it be to chrome the alternator.. i figured this should be chrome since I've read that the alt oxidizes faster.. something about not being only aluminum.. but magnezium or something?

hey fd3boost what are you using

Nice Dave!

hey Fd3BOOST, can u do my shyt? chrome it?

is that a NO?

I don't want to steal these guys steam. I need them to ceramic coat a piece for me.

Anybody that needs polishing should PM me.

BTW I can't do chrome.

those parts are polished.

I am using a benchtop buffer,sandpaper, and some Triploy and White rouge polish..



I did a how to write up on this in the 3rd gen FAQ's

We don't do chrome. Its alot more expensive and retains heat. The best thing about the polished alternator is it includes a rebuild. We can do ceramic coating. Its just not as shiny as the polishing.

:bigok:

If anyone needs anything polished or coated please contact me.
