damn looks like a nice little set up all coolings mods. a few extra internal mods, a tvs. shit yep some axels, rotated mounts, and some drag radials and a good tune and should be getting some nice numbers

oh yea you might want the ottp or any other 3 inch intake instead of the 2.5 one with that set up. just my opinion tho

03-09-2009, 11:52 PM
Yes, Meth, another H/E...

Rotated Mounts which you already stated... and hope you have a DAMN good tuner!

rico
03-09-2009, 11:57 PM
ya he already has meth and extra h.e on order. so all he is missing out on maybe a 3 inch intake and ya the mounts and stage 2 axles and oh yess a damn good tuner/tune

loco-performance
03-10-2009, 12:09 AM
yea i bunked out on the intake might be on the for sale thread along wit the ttr mount and prothane tranny mounts. for sure getting the rotated mounts. for the axles i will have to wait and see how my birthday funds look.

At first I was mad cause I didn't see the blower/pistons until I scrolled down. I hate when people say "my build" when they only do bolt on type shit.

will the different intake make that much of a difference, its only .5 of an inch?

are you upgrading your rod/main bearings also what are you doing for an exhaust? i would get a better head gasket such as a cometic, as well as ARP head studs. since your rods are coming out for the swap make sure you get new rod bolts. the stockers are said to be good for big power but i would go ahead and get ARPs if you have the money

gasket and arp studs r ordered and paid for. for exhaust look at my sig. i got vibrant header/downpipe combo wit gmpp cat back. i know its not 3" but gotta work wit what i have.

the rest im waiting for like Tune,1 Step Colder Plugs,60’s,OTT H/E Dual pass,Return Style Fuel System,Option B,Dual Pass Endplate,Cometic Gasket,ARP Head Studs

play it safe and at least get better rod bearings. you have it all apart why not replace em. im personally getting clevit H series rod bearings and clevit main bearings as well. ACL and King also makes bearings that are way better than the stockers

haha wooops forgot about this thread. i swapped out that shitty spec clutch in for the exedy combo from maven. thanks btw works great. this build was put on hold due to problems with parts and money issues.

Installed:
Pistons, rings, bearings, studs, gasket, endplate, option b, heatexchanger, spark plugs, rotated mounts, strut bar, wideband, motor mount, triple gauge pod, injen intake, exedy clutch combo

Got these parts ready for install:
TVS, meth, return line fuel system, injectors, RAW intake and tune of course.

Right now its on hold again as i have to wait for papa bear to finish his airplane project which should only take 1 more week then its my time in the garage :)

sorry to anyone that was following this thread

Edit: also forgot to say i got stock parts for sale if anyone is interested. pics r in my gallery, a piller and stock downpipe belong to Angel tho

well the meets kinda tapered off to nothing haha. Hopefully in the spring we will start meeting up again

Flatgod
11-12-2009, 08:03 PM
When you get it together you should come down to a stoon meet. There are three soon to be four TVS owners here, we could have a TVS shoot out.

loco-performance
11-12-2009, 08:23 PM
I'm sure people would like to meet up after winter. I know I do.

Any dates for this stoon meet? If its just an idea we should probly plan something now for a good turn out.

Looking good. Can't wait to get a tvs myself.

Flatgod

We have about 4 meets a year, would be good to have one around a SIR street legal night next spring. A few of us were also looking into taking a road trip down to Swift Currents track this coming summer because it is supposed to be much better then SIR. Regina should have a meet around one of the days the Auto x in Lumsden is open. I really want to hit that up since I'm doing a full susp build this winter.

that sounds like fun.

Flatgod this ur redline in this video? my friend just linked it in facebook. the silver one is rippin07 obviously cause it states that. his buddy is the one wit the skyline.

would be fun to line up all tvs cars lol

Flatgod
11-13-2009, 08:09 AM
Ya that is me, never seen that vid before. You can see how I started a little late on the gas but caught him pretty easy. I'm at 22 psi though. After that race he thought I was spraying LOL. Rippin had a bad day out there. His car is bumper to bumper with mine usually, but he flashed on a reg gas tune and forgot to reflash his premium gas tune so thats why he lost so bad. His clutch flat out took a shit on him in the third race as well.

loco-performance
11-13-2009, 10:21 AM
i was gonna say rippin07 should have done better, but now i know y. good races none the less. no vid with u guys vs the skyline? cant wait till my cars done to see what she can do

Flatgod
11-13-2009, 06:45 PM
I did race the Skyline but his car/tune was fuct and I pretty much drove away from him every time. Apperently the cat in Rippins Hahn downpipe had rotated 90* and fuct his exhaust flow as well.

Go 80's and sell the 60's. Your stuck with the 60's. 80 and return style will allow your car to grow like no other.

k well i gotta start a for sell thread then. 80's and return line, isnt that a little to much :P ?

if you decide to sell the return style let me know. Good luck with everything. Is there e85 in your area? If so keep the return style....

loco-performance
01-24-2010, 05:48 PM
i will keep u in mind for the return system. i dont think my province even heard of e85 yet. were behind the times over here.

InfraRedline
01-24-2010, 05:52 PM
If you go E85 keep the return style like skatin said. If not then just get 80's and run meth and enjoy:)

Flatgod

For meth. Go to Canadian tire or your local hardware. It's in the paint section. Methyl Hydrate is what your looking for, 99% meth. Cheep at dirt. Mix it with distilled water.
