I agree and good luck
can u send me the link to where u got your rear sway bar

 

Any turbo timer brand in specific that you guys would recommended who have em?

 

APEX-i, Greddy, there's a ton of 'em out there and they all do the same thing basically. It's just all in what you wanna spend. Check out our vendors and see what they have

 

took the words right out of my mouth lol

 

Thanks guys. im looking to by that and a boost controller so im trying to do some homework

 

go with a gear based boost controller... you wont regret it. i wish i would have

 

Whats the difference?

 

I'm not totally sure, but I'm gonna wager a guess that it limits your boost in say first and second gears to help with torgue steer and over powering the tires at low speeds. Once you hit 3rd and 4th it'll achieve full boost. Most boost controllers work off your vaccuum lines and keep boost limited throughout all your gears. So if you're in first gear, you'll be stuck making way more power than you need or can use since it can only be set to one specific psi. Gear based controller should change boost levels for different gears. Just a guess tho...

 

turbosmart dual stage Manual boost controller, the one im running, its nice, $120 i think it was

 

or you can find a blox mbc single stage for half that, and its not a cheap shitty ebay one. it has a ceramic ball.

but like i said if your gonna spend any amount of money buy a ecoboost 2. you wont regret spending the money it cost for one.

 

Im going between the ecoboost and the blitz icolor. I really like the way the blitz looks... im trying to find some reviews on it.

 

yea the eboost2 is nice.

its just really expensive

 

mmmmmhmmm i heeeeard that...

 

Well, the build is coming along fine now. With the amazing support from Aaron Gilbert @ Hahn we were able to get my balt running fairly well. We still have a cel showing the P0300 code(Random cylinder misfire) but nothing major. Im ordering the HP tuners cable and Aaron is going to have the boys set up a revised tune to smooth this out. I cant drive the car until thursday as thats the day my new rims show up but its been running fairly good. Im soo stooked on getting this baby to the pavement. One bit of advise to all potential Hahn stage V buyers is "Do it". You cant ever imagine how great of a company these guys are and soo prompt with communications. The system itself is a breeze to install, considering you take your time with the install, making sure that you read through the instuctions thoroughly and ask questions!!!! There are some things that I believe the manual leaves out that builders should know but its not hard to send emails to Aaron and get almost immediate responses/help with any questions. We never had any type of oil leaks at all and I am soo happy I went this way. More pics to follow here guys. We are doing the final touches to the car since this is my companies demo car. By the way, when my 20"s show up please dont criticize them. Remember this car is a show car not a race wagon. I will take it to the track at some point when I get some slicks for her but I want the car to be in tip top tuned shape and cosmetically it has to be completed within the next week or 2 for upcoming shows. Hope you guys all like when finished!!!

 

Awesome, I am deciding between doing a TVS build or going with the hahn kit and it seems like everything I hear about hahn is good. Show us some more pics and videos when you are done!

 

Dude, If you wanted to beat an SRT-8, you could have kept the Rims STOCK and Stereo STOCK and went Stage II from the dealer..

Done... Saved you $10,000...

 

Agreed, more pics and more vids asap. this is my winter project for 09... Reading through this is just getting me more stoked.

 

I love your engine bay.

 

Thank you. I have spent alot of time on it trying to get it too look cosmetically good. Theres just so many things that guys can do to go overboard. Im really hoping the rims look good because I put the CA carbon fiber hood and center spoiler section on as well. Im just crossing my fingers that everything will go well together

I was at stage 2 with the supercharger setup. I definitely wanted more power and there are many more reasons I went this way. I do realize that adding the weight that I have isnt such a good thing but Im trying to have my cake and eat it too. It should look very nice for a demo car and very damn fast to boot. Of course I wouldnt beat as many guys out there now with all the extra weight and all but at the end of the day it was my decision. I am going to be a whole lot faster now than I was before and I love my car. I have invested hundreds of hours into this and its my "baby". I have alot of respect for all the work that I have done and I really hope that many people can appreciate that rather than criticize my decision making hence the only reason I am posting comments and pictures of the car.

Ill definitely have ALOT more pics coming up soon guys. Rims are going to be here on thursday so Ill post a few before they show and after. Just doing some other odds and ends right now. Working hards so I can have her on the road the day the rims show up. Many long nights this is!

 

i cant wait to see the final on this....more then likely going to do this end this/ beggining of next year

 

the reason why i comented is that you said the 325 would pull away slowly when you had your 2.8, but those cars are no challende for a stock ss/sc, the 335 is the twin turbo 3 series. the 325 makes 215 horsepower

a stage 2 from the dealer wont touch an srt-8... from a dig, or roll

 

Hmmm, not seeing that From my readings, that puts an SC car on even footing with a TC car, which might match an SRT given a great driver in the TC, and a slug driving the SRT, but certainly not a win.

 

Dude, it has more to do with the metric ton of stereo that he has in his car.. INERTIA!!!

 

Hm... yea looking at the specs, it would have had to been a 335... Ive noticed some 325s being pretty slow and i guess i thought they were all 325s.

 

Roger that, my apologies, sir
