Still needing a legitimate tune. First time we tried to give it a street tune it started to break up really bad at 6lbs. Found out all 6 of the coilpacks were cracked. Fixed that issue. But now i want a real tune, not to found off flying up and down the freeway in unregistered car. We got a local event on the 27th that i will try to make it out and see how the car feels. If all goes well I definitely want to make it out to texas. It would be pretty sweet to drive with all the texas dudes!

Call Alex and have him register that thing for you in MT with perm tags for under 200 bucks no problem! Silly not to have a beast like that registered if you've the conection

Also just sent you an email lets get this thing boosting already sh*t man! If you wana do dyno time i can get that all taken care of for you as well just down the street from elevens at LoCash for dirt cheap.

Talk to ya soon my long lost brother!

[Johny5]

hope you make it man, i'm rooting for ya! tandem when you get here

[AceUp]

Alright so got pretty much everything squared away.. decided to take the car out for a little spin to feel out the new powerband.. here is a little video.. nothing great...

[TheRealSy90]

Sick!

I want to go to the 27th event so bad! I just need tires

[Drift_This]

In for flames out of the hood. Make it happen

[DanielS14]

[tunermt]

[AceUp]

Some small updates.. Took the car to get a conservative tune while i adapt to new drivetrain. on 91 at 15lbs the car made 459whp at 6000/430wtq at 3850.



Didnt want to run just a filter off the turbo so the "cold-air" intake was made.


Then played around with fire for a bit


Then went to a local drift event and have no proof of being there.. But did get a chance to try the car out.. the R154's are pretty notchy and 2-3 upshifts and downshifts tend to take a bit longer then im used to.. I do need to try MTL 90 instead of whatever i put in there. 2nd gear in the car is useless. 3rd gear is beast mode.. Also tried out the Future Fab Knuckles combined with one big spacer on the passenger side and a little tein one on the drivers.. At full lock my tires rub on the frame rails and the steering wheel gets pretty violent.. Maybe try a smaller tire? Currently a 235/40/17 on a 17x9.5 -15. I could only imagine how horrible it would be on my 18's. Suspension definitely needs improving.. the 8k springs in the front combined with no swaybar is making the car an oversteering cadillac up front. so going to invest in a sway bar that fits and if that doesnt help go with some 10k springs. Overall i like it and with some small tweaks i think i can get it to where i want it!!

gotta love this car! its so sick, i saw it at the drift event a week or two ago. nice work Vitaly! just need to dial in that suspension

[stephens14sr]

it sounds like god having an orgasm.

[tricky_ab]

Damn this car sounds amazing!

[towlie]

I must have played that a dozen times lol

Sounds amazing!

[c_mancuyas8]

This thing kicks so much ass!!! very nice work!!

[Johny5]

<3 this car makes me tingle when it hits redline

[tunermt]

sick power for the boost and awesome torque curve!

You have any more pictures of the SG Brake line kit? How does it mate with the rear brake lines and the such? Thanks!

Suspicious Garage Brake Lines

those are the only ones i have. the line going to the rear brakes is replaced up to the union split at the firewall on passenger side.

well had another shake down event that went much much better then the first. I initially wanted to step up to 10k front springs or get a sway bar that fits. But unfortunetely due to financial circumstances i couldnt do either in time. So i said F*ck it and went out anyways.. Firebird Raceway had a 3 track layout which was sick. I just stuck to the Extended XDC course all night... Couple runs in i started to get a good grasp on how the car was handling.. the pivot point of the transitions moved from the center of the car with the sr to the front of it with the 2j.. Which at first i wasnt really liking the snappy transitions but through out the night i started digging it more and more. Also started to get used to the slower shifting trans. Then realized down shifting to 2nd was never even needed. Installing the Future Fab Knuckle kit also helped out alot. I will however move my rack forward to eliminate the steering wheel shake from over centering.One Big thing I need to do for next year is attain a tire sponsorship, because running anything less then a 255 in the rear is a joke. Overall super pumped about the car and how it feels and cannot wait to drive more next year. no more car building. just driving..

some dark footage..

[haymaker]

don't forget car fixing... there is always car fixing.

[AceUp]

okay dudes iam in a dilemma, i want to do something about the huge hole i have in my hood and want your opinions.. should i do a bigger version of the aluminum duct like I had before with the sr like this



OR get a something along the lines of the Dmax vented hood?!



Let me know what you guys think?!

heres a boring video from a local drift event with cool noises.. launching in 2nd gear is super fun!!

[Johny5]

c'mon buddy, dmax hood with shaved rear vent is the key to all. plus it looks like the vents are gonna land just where you want em!

[Royal_T]

^^ I agree

[spencer240sx]

I run a 2jzge in my s13 with 14k front springs and stock sway bar with the 14k car feels real light like it used to with a SR20

[conrad_s13.5]

i like your mod, because it was unique and just no one else with money can go buy it.

id say make ur own

UMS Tuning.. also Eric from Brewed Motorsports is a good tuner!

[AceUp]

also need to get some Different arms in the rear so i can go lower.. Suspension geometry.. completely over it.

[John Hammond]

i'd personally go with bn sports hood or garage-s, it would appear that you have spared no expense with this build, so why settle for a cheap-o hood?

[Drift_This]

Fab your own again. That way you get exactly what you want/need for your car.
