The new whip

 

What the **** is on the bumper?

And I'm not sure it's good to be on 18-20 lbs of boost on the M62... let alone if it's even possible.

But welcome anyway

More yellow, the better

 

Yes it's possible.

 

Welcome home nice upgrade
Something sounds off about that 18-20 Psi tho I own an lnf not an lsj so someone else will chime in but my buddy has a stage 2 ion redline and I believe he sees about 15lbs

 

It's got a smaller pulley on it, just don't know what size yet, so i'll check it out tomorrow. I know it's not the factory pully.

&as for the rear, i don't really understand the point of it. Change it up sometime down the road.

&Thanks!

 

What is IT?????

 

Looks like the holes that import drag racers cut in their back bumpers only with some aluminum surrounds.

Check the pulley- If its got blue bolts it's the stock stage 2 (3") pulley and 20psi is suspicious. You'll see more boost like that with a clogged cat.

 

I'll see if i can make a video once i register it tomorrow, I don't know anything about these car's, so it's a learning experience, so forgive me if my information seem's out of place. I'm just going on based what i was told&experienced.

The hole cutout's in the rear bumper, apparently for less drag in the rear bumper.

 

in for finding out "What is IT?????"

 

Pully confirmed, has blue bolts.

 

You should be seeing 15psi. Have you actually seen 20 or was it just the seller saying "Oh bro it makes like 20 pounds of boost. I drift it all the time. Its sooo sick."

 

I've seen it hit 15lbs for sure, but he claims it hits 20lbs. I didn't want to beat the **** out of the car driving a hour away to go home with dealer plates. I'd rather it break down here than have it get towed.

 

I cant read the number on yours, but a stage 2 pulley is stamped "77.9 MM"

 

I think i read 76.0MM

 

congrats,
but idk if to say nice upgrade or sidegrade
both are 2006 lol
and is the things in the real bumper real? like there is a real cutout or they are just like stickers???

 

76 MM is a stage 3 pulley- that's a bonus. Still safe on a stage 2 tune, as a rule the GM tune is a bit rich.

 

It has header/dp right? Not just catback? If it doesn't that could be the reason for the 20lbs of boost. My friend was doing 20 also with the stock stuff and stage 2 lol

 

saw this forsale on craigslist near me.
i live in albany my friend was looking at it i told him not to buy it because of that rear bumper!

put a new one on so it doesnt look ricy like that

 

ahahaha where did you buy this car from ?

i see your up in Utica, do you know where the car was before you bought it? I saw this same exact car down here in long island lol ....

deff get rid of the civic diffuser you got in the bumper.

1.) get an interceptor

2.) get a wideband

3.) welcome and enjoy it

 

ang you have an ingalls torque dampner

 

Welcome! Huge upgrade imo.


Just needs a little TLC

 

Did the seller install a LSD?

It does not have the G85 interior so unless an LSD was install or the interior was swapped it does not have one.

 

Maybe hes got the ever so rare H62!

 

I hate when people call it a "whip

sounds stupid.

 

S3 pulley will not make that kinda boost unless clogged cat or super small exhaust.

I would look into that more.

The GMR S3 pulley will make around 16 psi on a stock exhaust setup.
