Lol agreed on that man I will be going to track around my way once I get everything right my koni's went to powder coating today Gloria said I'm hoping by Friday I can get them so I can install on Saturday or sunday but probably going to be following week dominion raceway or VIR we will see what happens right now wanna go fast is my goal to at least make that happen

 

I really have got to get moving on sending mine to them for powder coating....

 

Ya I was going to do color scheme like tomj but I like the koni yellow a lot and I'm just going to work around it and just say f*** it

 

Lol the only ones that will show are the back ones

 

Turbo kit is in yesterday but I have for a question about this turbo from zzp so it's supposed to be a s257sx-e from what I can see on website the model on turbo is s200sx p/n is 12769095003 which when I look up it show extended tip supercores s/n is 02A096170009 I asked them and they are like they it should be right one which I sent picture in my email to them so if anybody knows anything about that turbo i would appreciate the comfort of knowing for sure this is the turbo i asked for thanks

 

Its the right one, the S200sxe is just like a base part number, it covers a few sizes of the new BW turbos.

 

That's what I thought I noticed when looking up part numbers

 

Small update here f40 is going in on Monday I ended up getting a performance shop to do install because of time and we are getting pretty busy season this time of year im using arp flywheel bolts on trans Jason showed me some scary pictures of zzp flywheel bolts breaking in half. ARP Kit # 209-2801 for anybody that might need. Turbo will go in soon haven't figured a day yet I was thinking of doing some break in on the clutch before turbo so well see what happens

 

How much are you paying to have it installed?

 

850

 

Not bad i have so much work ahead of me lol

 

Ya I know the feeling ya more I think about all the stuff o have to do the more I think that I'm not going to make it to wanna go fast event in July it frustrating everything coming in so late I haven't even got my koni's back from Powell but they are supposed to be in Monday. If it could go wrong it has so far. I ended up getting a Powell harness bar from a guy in Texas for a decent price but it was missing some hardware so I had to order that from Powell

 

Anybody else having problems installing the zzp elbow that goes from turbo to intake pipe I'm thinking that mine in to small and I don't want to stretch this thing out like crazy

 

Ok anyways car will be done Wednesday or Thursday as long as everything goes good I ended up letting shop just install everything I have trans 257 turbo kit koni's and bushing all in one. Had to get a new elbow for turbo to intake pipe because zpp's wouldn't fit and also those flywheel bolts will not fit with f40 flywheel unfortunately the head of bolt is to big round to fit in holes because bolts are to far sunk in on flywheel

 

Ok car is running and I drove her last night and this morning everything seems pretty good expect for my shift cable keeps popping off transmission and I can only use 3rd and 4th so I have to pull over and fix here and there I'm going to tale a look tonight at it and also tomj is correct about the tial wastegate spring being way off then chart says but others then that so far so good

 

Good to hear. Where is the cable popping off from-shifter or trans? That car would be a handful after you break it in.

 

Awesome man pretty jelly over here lol

 

Popping off trans on left and right cable so when it does pop off I can only get in 3rd or 4th I think. It almost seems like maybe a bad pivot joint/socket on cable it self

 

So I dropped back off at shop so they can check it out again and or make adjustments my tuning will be needing alot of adjusting but I'm having trouble getting a hold of him for some reason I was hoping to get to race this weekend at SRMS and irev on Sunday but it's all going out the window now so I'm waiting for for a answer of some sort and or will be looking for a tuner so any advise or anyone that can put me in contact

 

Is the car even ready for tuning? No need to jump tuners because he couldn't get back to you asap, we need to remember people have other things to do and sometimes it's just not possible, but I'm sure he will contact you soon and you can do some tuning. im sure if everything is fine you can finish tuning in one day. Plus don't you need to break in the clutch first?

 

I did get in contsct with him Yes I know we all have lives and are very busy i was just looking for a response like im busy or i will get back with you and if I don't hear nothing at all I don't know what's going on to me it was a reason to start looking not because I don't like him as a tuner or a person its because I don't know what's going on. The car had a base tune for the 257 when I loaded tune car stumbled real bad it was looking for idle but it's a base tune so it's to be expected. So as far a clutch goes it seems to be holding 22 lbs really good and to me breaking in a clutch has a very mixed crowd of people but I've been rolling into pedal nice and easy but I can't really do a break in on clutch with running all out of wack so yes i needed some tuning but i think we are ok now

 

Ok so shifter bracket that zzp supplied was having trouble locking the cable in place so when I moved shifter left and right it would pick up on cable in bracket it self and cause binding and twist cable enough to pop of pivot ball socket but we drilled 2 small holes and on each side of slot and ran a thick steel wire and that **** is so solid now it's like a 1000% difference now

 

Ok so next week I'm hitting the dyno to see what I'm making on 93 then I will be getting intake cam installed so i can switch over to e47 I will post up numbers on 93 when I get them in

 

Sub'd!

This thread is lacking pics! Post up some nudes of that beastly F40 build Give the people something to drool over.

 

I know been meaning to put up over and over but I never get around to it thanks dude
