nice dude!

mine shuld be complete tommorow too!

well granting i get outside and start to work on my dp
:/

 

so how much are they charging you...i hope its not more than 400

but that tow for 45 is not that bad

 

Huh? $400??

I'd be surprised if it was over 100. People here are really reasonable, this isn't a performance shop or anything. It's just a muffler shop. If I pay $400 it's because I got a whole system out of the deal.

 

o thought you were getting a full system

 

Nope. I'll run this 2.25" SS exhaust for now, and probably upgrade to 3" when I get above the 250 mark.

No sense in running 3" if you're not making a lot of power imo.

 

faster spool...

 

Yeah I hear ya. Probably would be, but right now I'm trying to keep it low key.

Gotta be a sleeper for a little bit at least. Right now my ss exhaust is near silent at idle.

Haven't heard from my exhaust shop, I hope they didn't take it for a spin.

 

im sure they did...lol...have you uploaded the tune yet?

 

Yeah, just in case some idiot took it around the block I loaded the tune. Should be fine, if it's still in one piece. Probably explains why they haven't called yet, lol. It's probably smashed and they're freaking out, lol. I should probably call to make sure.

 

i hope they didnt smash it...i cant believe your laughing at that thought...but its your car ..lol

 

call themmmm I WANT TO SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

vids ???

And LOL if they break it, hahaha they're probably working on their alloby

 

I called them and they are still working on it. They said they ran into some kind of problem with the flex pipe or something. I have no clue why it has taken this long. Good thing I called them because they were going to leave at 5. Gotta hurry over there after work.

 

vidz ASAP

 

is it 5 oclock over there yet?

 

Yep, car is back in my hood. I gotta fix a minor oil leak first, no oil at all in it right now.

What do you guys suggest for fixing leaks? I thought about just taking the taps out and putting jb weld on the threads. Maybe that rtv stuff will be better. The exhaust work could have been better, it's not the right diameter pipe I wanted. I might start it tonight for ***** and giggles and to check for leaks. Stay posted, I'm going to try and get a camera.




(that's not me btw)

 

HURRAY CONGRATS MAN ! ! !

grand total of build ???

 

****, I stopped counting after about 3 grand. I guess I could total it up, but I would say around 4k. I did a lot of unnecessary things, like the intake manifold for instance, that's for when I build the engine. Turbo was expensive as well as the other top notch parts from vulcan, but all in all it's a sweet build and worth it. Once I build the engine's bottom end, the thing will be a monster. Turbo doesn't start to run out of breath until 500 hp.

 

Hahaha looks nice, yeah I overkilled with the intake manifold too, but it just looks so much better with it on :p

And for the leak use teflon on the threads and make sure u use the little ring thing that came with the autmeter adapter, I lost mine when working in my radiator hose, now I leak oil, need to look for, it helps it seal, or get a washer

 

use teflon and if that doesnt work get urself some of that high temp orange rtv...that will def keep it from leaking

 

good **** man.. get that leak fixed asap.. also did you do the hairspray thing i told you about?

what diameter piping is that ? 2.5?

how much did the dp cost you?
MOAR VIDZ and pics lol

 

Yeah, 2.5". 185 after labor and everything.

I'm letting the RTV sealant cure, which takes like at least 12 hours right? I put it on about 10 am.

 

vidzzzzzzz



i want vidzzzzzz

 

I my friend has a camera, once it's dried we will definitely get vids.

 

moar pics of car, whats the intercooler look like with the bumper on? did u cut those bars off? does it stick down too much/ i wanna see :p
