you have the red one that is all sweet looking at the shop

 

Thats the BC2 bumper. I'm waiting for the kit to come out in eurethane.

 

yeah, if they put it out i urethane I might have to get that one too. I love the red sema car with that kit and the gold wheels.

 

Sway....are you looking to get more footage...is that the hold up of the vid? if so i might have a run for you...

 

yeah, im trying to get more footage. This friday ill be getting a lot more. What you got for me? BRING IT!

Im dyin to test my car against a Stg2 SS/SC. but i dont know of anyone in boise with it. Everyone seems to be stock, or just intake/exhaust. Makes me sad inside...

Oh, about my buddies body kit. he recommends waiting for the urathane kit, really hard to get someone to paint the fiberglass. Im thinking about just waiting for awhile and getting the widebody kit.

 

damn man you need to get us more sneak peeks so how many kills so far man!

 

It rained Friday so no new footage =( But i did get new rims/tires Friday afternoon. I can post some pics, but i want to get the springs on first =P Getting the Tenzo-R springs with 215/45/17's. Gonna be sick. They are a black 6 spoke with chrome lip.

In other great news, i will be opening up my car this friday. Meaning 3 inch Exhaust. I've got the appointment setup and the high-flow cat and muffler on the way. Then i will dyno to see how much better my hp/tq curve is with a nice flowing exhaust. When you drive it you can tell its choking hard after about 5k rpms. It sounds like a jet engine tryin to get all the exhaust out. Not sure how much the dyno run is gonna cost...

 

nice keep us posted!

 

I believe Alpinetech means the kit for a 2.2 5-speed will bolt up to a 2.4 5-speed. It looks like the intercooler pipe as is wouldn't clear the auto on either. That said, I understand there are fixes in the works.

 

My Exhaust is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Its going to cost at the most $430 bux. Full 3 inch from the downpipe back, with a 3inch high-flow cat and 3 inch Magnaflow muffler. So tomorrow night will be lots of fun, and friday night will be even more fun. I'll have to see how that Evo8 holds up now =P

 

Dont forget vids!

 

As long as it doesnt rain this friday night, im gonna have like 2+ cameras comin with me to get some more videos. Dains w/ his SS/SC, jasen w/ his redline and so is my buddy brandon with the white cobalt. Its gonna be funnnn.

 

Updates?!?!

I would LOVE to have this kit, I've already got a boost ready full exhaust so it would be a dream!

 

Holly **** does it sound SWEEETTTT. It also pulls hard all the way through 6200rpms. Im gonna have some FUNNN tomorrow.

 

im looking more towards the future...judging by pics it looks like there is a 1-1.5" clearance between turbo housing and firewall....is there any other possible mouting areas for larger turbos...im comming from a GT35R Srt4 and that thing really looks like a snail compared to my beast. It would be awesome to see complete install pics with majority of the engine bay removed....hoses, small components such as pumps and others...but other than that the only thing i would be worried about now is axels and clutch how are they holding up since it sounds you are ******* it every night?

ohhhh one more thing...install your self a boost gauge and video that too...i would llike to see if your spiking and bleeding dramaticly at red line...thats what it looks like from your dyno graph...im guessing internal wastegate on turbo...which kind blows. however agp makes a nice external wastegate for most applications...tune wastegate for amount of boost now...add manual boost controller for wanted boost pressures...retune wastegate for new amount of boost = more boost at redline...

 

Well, i dont want to jinx myself, but the clutch and axles seem to be holding up just fine. Your right, i do run my car pretty hard. I would say i do at least 3 WOT runs every time i drive it(And thats on the way to work, about 10min drive at 4am). Mostly 2nd & 3rd gear. Yeah, i have the boost gauge, i just need to install it. Im coming up on 3k miles with the turbo and things keep getting better =P

Im excited about tonight... Why does it have to be soo early..

 

Where did you buy your cast alluminum intake manifold ??

 

I havent yet, thats why its under WIP. Im waiting on alpine to get it done.

 

stop yappen on the board and start filming :P have a good night man! and yes i had an extra 2.2L plastic manifold around so he is using it for fabrication

 

How funny things turn out. Im gonna need that manifold sooner then i thought. I blew it apart last night. i was out racin and cruisin, and AFTER things were settled and i was cruisin to a party, i pulled out of the parkin lot where everyone meets and BOOOM. Blew it into 2 pieces. So yeah, i gotta talk to alpine to see how fast they can come up with one, or im gonna be gettin another plastic one. Woo hoo. So there you have it, 3k on a plastic manifold @ 8-9psi. Man do i beat up my ride. i was so happy it wasnt a rod or piston i blew last night. I swear it popped so loud everyone heard that thing. Like 5 guys from the meeting spot ran over to my car and helped me move it off the road. I should be running here again in a few days if i dont wait for a casted manifold. Which i think i may do because it would be smarter. I certainly DO NOT regret last night, it was a blast!

 

grats man, glad you are enjoying your new mods etc.

im waiting for the day for my motor to go pop lol, it will probably be a piston while running the 2.5 but ill be fast!

 

this scares me very much now cuz i will be turboed in about a week and i think my 2.4 shares the same manifold as the 2.2. if i blow it ill be screwed cuz i have ran out money for this project right now.

 

If someone can confirm the Saab Turbo Manifold, ill buy it and install it. I saw the pictures of someone installing it onto the 2.2. Looks like im gonna have to be the guinepig again.

 

Go check out my "14.6 run with nitrous explosion" and hear the crack of the intake manifold, sounded like a gunshot, probably just like what happened to you - the fire.

Make sure no plastic got into the block, otherwise you might bend a valve or something. The good thing is that the plastic intake manifold is only $105 from GM.

 

Yeah, i can get the part i just would rather buy a casted manifold or something like the saab turbo manifold. So i dont have to worry about randomly blowing my intake if i push my car too hard. I want my car to take the beating i put on it. Thats a true daily driver =P
