I might have an FP for you come spring.

Car looks great as always.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Cool, let me know!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

COP? You have any sort of Ignition amp to go with that?

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

No I don't. But I'm holding onto my magnacore wires and coil pack cause I know I'll probably have to swap it out once I start upping the boost.. We'll see.

Well with the way the new turbo is setup and for the fact that I always wanted to get a new intercooler. I jumped on the one that Nick (munchgsx) was selling. It's a SBR 8" street kit. A little smaller than what I wanted but it will do the trick for now.

First thing I did was strip all the paint off

Then sprayed it wrinkle black

Then it was time to mount it up. It was fairly easy. Just had to make a bracket to bolt to the hood latch. Then 2 brackets on the bottom.

With this kit slowboy says it will fit with stock foglights with "minor" tweaking of the brackets. Well of course you can't trust slowboy and the foglights were 1-2 inches off.

I came up with a fairly easy solution..

Piping fitment was pretty good

I'm probably just gonna stick with the 1g bov for now. But the plan is to get a Greddy type S or RS.

Here is a photoshop of what the finished product will look like. I will probably keep the plate off until the cops harrass me about it. I got a new front bumper from Stephan that I'll be using. Just gotta prep it and figure out what I'm gonna do for paint.

Looks good. You should ceramic coat ALL of your hot parts ;) And powdercoated that c piping ;) I am still jealous of your wire tuck.

Shave/Polish your compressor cover too!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Sooooo hot. You do clean work man, why is crinkle black so sexy?

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

It has been in the back of my mind to ceramic coat all the parts. But I've already spent a ton of money and the GF isnt too happy! :) I did give a call to primo about powdercoating the piping also but decided against it since I knew I could paint it and it would still hold up decent. And you can't say anything about my tuck compared to yours.. I guess we'll just continue to go back and forth about it!

For the compressor housing I'm not too sure. I was thinking of painting it wrinkle black to match the bay but that might be "too much." What do you guys think?

Thanks! I couldn't tell you why, but I love it too!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I was thinking of powdercoating my compressor housing on my scm. My engine bay is gonna be all black and white, thought a black compressor housing would look sweet.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Always looking good there Andy. In the spring time we will have to do a roll, and see how things match up.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I like how you say roll. Yes a roll would be prefered. Haha

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

You gonna do something about that crushed 1g bov or are you just gonna crush it more (til it doesn't open) and holds high boost? haha.

Your stock ignition should be more than fine for that turbo's power capability.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

^I think that is his plan exactly.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

It's going to be interesting how long this new setup lasts before he posts a wtb ad for an awd....lol


You'll love that style fmic kit Andy. I have one similar to it and love it.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I would say no to using any more wrinkle black. I like black parts, but personally, I just can't stand wrinkle black.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Very nice!
Haven't seen the car for a while now. Looks like it's going to get even better. I agree, I still want a wire tuck also. One day when I can stop wasting time, I'll do it.
Keep it up!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

The plan is to run if for now. Munchgsx ran it on his 16g spiking to 35psi without issues so we'll see. I do want to get a Greddy type S or RS.

That is the plan. That's why I said I'm keeping them. If I start getting ignition issues with the COP then I'll just swap it out.

Good to hear! I know it's going to be nothing but a smoke show but maybe I'll invest in some nice slicks. I already got the rims for them. Although I do have a rear subframe from an AWD sitting in the garage. :)

Thanks for the compliments so far guys.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I thought you were gonna go AWD after our last trip to the track where I was killing your times and u were killing my traps, shame we didn't run after that.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Haha ya I kinda figured that a roll would be more fair, you have fwd but I have a bigger turbo. Unless you wanna do from a dig for shits and giggles?

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Looking good! Couldn't imagine that kind of power fwd though.
