Fun stuff dude. Yo in a couple weeks I may be out in Buffalo vising my buddy, I'd love to see what my na could look like with a turbo. =)

 

Oh nice! yeah I'll pm you my number we can deff meet up

 

new youtube link cuz facebook sucks

 

So you commented on my build thread, I'm gonna comment on yours. However yours looks like it's done! You're only 2 hours away from me, I live in Syracuse. Your car is awesome, I'd love to see it!

 

You're close, I live in Camden, only about 40 mins from SU. I go to carousel all the freaking time. lol.

 

You're from Camden? Because I actually live in Canastota if you know where that is. I have to tell everyone Syracuse because no one knows where the hell Canastota even is... lol

 

I know the feeling, people are like "Camden New Jersey?" Haha. Yeah dude, Canastota is mad close. Like 15 mins.

 

Haha nice! I'm surprised I've never seen you driving around. Lets go to Buffalo and check out noorj's car :P

 

Sounds like a sweet bromance. =P

 

Do it! I'll be driving thru Syracuse on my way to Albany and back this upcoming weekend, if you guys wanna grab a bite to eat I'd be down

 

What air straightener did you use? I've been tempted to install one on my K&N intake for my LNF to get a solid maf reading

 

HoneyComb MAF Mass Air Meter Airflow Straightener- TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE

anything really works though, not sure if your K&N is 3" OD but I've seen smaller ones elsewhere also. It really helped so much I would suggest everyone get one, tuning with it became so much easier

The big thing with it tho is how you secure it. I would never trust just silicone to hold it in. I welded a bead around the inside of the chargepipe that is sits in so that no matter how hard air pushes on it, it cannot move anywhere.

 

I work Saturday but I'm off Sunday, I'm down.

 

Def going to have to think about how to secure it like that don't need a piece of that going into my engine

 

Definitely Sunday for sure! I was going to take my balt off the road Friday but I guess I can drive it to Syracuse so you guys can see it. I'd like to see your cars too. You're gonna be driving your balts I hope!?

 

le5 party!!!

 

it prob wouldn't make it to your engine but it would def **** your turbo up real good

You could always just drill in 4 screws about .25-.5" long around the outside of the tube at the same distance in (like 90* 180* 270* and 360*) then let the straightener sit against them, silicone around the edge of the straightener also tho

 

I looked around before at the Treadstone air straightner, but short of sending them an e-mail
I could not find info on how thick this piece is exactly, do you know ? Thanks

 

3/4" thick for the 3" diameter one, IDK if the other ones are the same but I'm assuming they are.

I found a couple websites where you can pick thickness/core ratio so there are better ones out there, but treadstone's definitely works well and they support our platform so I'll support them.

 

Hey noorj and ranviper, we're still good for Sunday? :P

 

Yeah dude, PM one of us for our cell number so we can chat about a time and place.

 

we can group chat here

well all my hanging out on craigslist paid off! picked up a spare '06 2.4 motor with 55k on it for $300!!!!

this will be my back up (knock on wood) if anything goes wrong, and if not it will be the motor I build this winter

 

I just finished test driving a 2.4 zzp turbo converted, car is very nice.
