Ok I will give that a try, I'm just worried about a vacuum leak.

 

U wont have one

 

Ok, thanks bro.

 

I would ditch that stock header and downpipe.

 

Im going to, I'm just trying to keep everything in the safe zone until I have funds to forge internals

 

Well I wouldn't put that on the priority list. You got a long way to go before pushing stock internals to it's limits. Get supporting mods for the TVS.

 

Ok I will do that.

 

you stock exhaust manifold will actually hurt the safe zone more with the tvs. I have a vibrant header and downpipe i am selling for a good price. Its also one of if not the best power producing headers made for our car

 

Forged internals are a little overrated if you ask me. With a good tune, a stock LSJ longblock will last a long time even with a TVS and small pulley.

100% Meth just blew his engine but it had ~140k and he has been pushing the limits since day one. That is pretty impressive if you ask me.

 

Held within spec compression at 100k, put back to stock and 25k later cyl 1 dies.

These engines are very stout in stock form.

 

stock internals were good until i dropped pulleys
then it was all over
haha but i went down to a 2.5 not many people rocking those

 

Anyone have an m62 bypass valve/actuator on their TVS? If so, how did you do it? Like run the vacuum lines

 

im on a 2.6 with ATI balancer so basically a 2.5 does that count ...bout to order my 2.5 tho so itll b lik using a 2.4 haha

 

on the stock bottom end?

 

nope lol i only ran the 2.6 on the stock block/head

 

PM me a price I will consider it. I was thinking of a Badmab header and maybe a ZZP 3" Catted DP, I dont like my car to be loud thats why I haven't messed with my exhaust stuff.

 

ZZP's resonator is your best friend then. I'm catless and my car actually sounds pretty good. When I had a high flow cat it made my exhaust whisper quiet.

 

badmab/zzp is a great combo..i run the badmab.zzp 3" catless dp, zzp 3" catback with the resonator and i love the sound..with the high flow cat it stays pretty quiet but gives it a nice deep tone i highly suggest it

 

Seems as if this thread died down... Was non stop posts for like a month straight

 

imma take a guess and say school year started so alot of ppl are busy with college or if htey hav kids there busy with their school stuff..could be wrong tho

 

True true.. and that one dude getting banned haha

 

that kid was jus a dipshit it was a long time coming

 

haha sure seemed like it

 

I've just been biding my time. I have everything I need for TVS, just waiting to be tuned!

 

Who's doing the tuning?
