Hahaha well then... 0_o

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

SO this thing gonna be on the cruise right?

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Yep for sure!

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Nice, its been a long time since the old crew has been together for a "cruise".
Crome-puff needs to get in on the cruise too.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Oh yea, just like a couple years back when we'd always head to *edit* after Applebees every Tuesday until midnight or later. Those were good times.

You, LSE crew, Reid, Hughes, Chrome-puff, Brian with civic, and sometimes others. My first time ever going around corners fast, I couldn't keep up with anyone.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

yeah, those nights were bomb, i am still in school though which sucks and the bee's meets are on the other end of the cities, so not really worth the hike for me anymore.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Well I ordered some parts to finish up the car:

DSMLink
FP4 cams
AEM wideband
Oil pressure gauge
Water temp gauge

Swapping in the PTE 61 this weekend, and probably installing the SS clutch line and new slave. The transmission swap and doing work on the GSX will have to wait until it gets warmer.

I talked with a few people at FP and they said I should be fine on Crower singles with the FP4 cam, as long as I'm running medium boost levels (under 30) and not making 600 whp or something crazy. Also since I'm only going to rev to 8000rpm it's not quite so risky.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Sounds like you'll be making some good numbers man.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Hell yeah, thats badass.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Every time I try to work on my car or upgrade it, I get a huge wrench into the situation and nothing goes as planned. I attempted to put on the 61 last night, then realized that the motor mount was right where the IC piping needed to go to the passenger side. Suck.

So I realized I need to have the piping route to the drivers side like everyone else with big turbos, but both endtanks on my greddy FMIC point to the passenger side. So today I ordered a Spearco 2-216 setup with 2.5" short route piping on ebay, $400 shipped. The core is 28x10x3.5.

Hopefully I can sell my entire Greddy FMIC and 2.25" piping setup for not a big loss. Still sucks though, I have to wait another week to have a working car.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Did you check to see what BOV it is flanged for? I couldn't tell what it was.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Greddy flange.

I have a Greddy Type S I could use.
Or I could use my HKS flange and SSQV from my current setup.

Is either better than the other? My FP intake tube doesnt have a recirculate option.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Use the type S then. The HKS pops off a bit quicker, but no biggie.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

nice
let me know when you get it I will give you a hand getting it on

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Got the intercooler and pipes yesterday, this thing is huge! It nearly takes up two couch cushions with the endtanks.

It appears to be a legit spearco 2-216 core, the pipes are very nice as well (no dings or anything), and I got a complete set of multi layer silicon couplers with tbolt clamps. Very happy with my purchase, the extra 4" wide should look sweet when it's installed.


Edit: question about exhaust manifolds, will a ported 2g one be enough? Or should I look at the FP cast mani since they are on sale for $175 without coating and $235 with coating. Will it be worth the upgrade?

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

What turbo?

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

Dual ball bearing SCM61 with the S cover.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

$235 w/coating sounds like a really good price!

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

I would upgrade to the FP one.

Re: Make slowboy not so slow
 

fp with coating
the 1g mani it had on it very well cracked on the bottom
