i have another set of those tips if you want a set . they have to be welded on. lots of reasons why the motor came out but basically backpressure was 40 lbs at 2 bar boost and 800 rwhp. lost about 300+ rwhp so i pulled the motor to retime the cams. put it back in the car today hope to fire it sunday and see whats leaking puking burning etc.

if all goes well back to the tuner for retune and push it to 35-40 psi

 

Heh, at 730 or so RWHP I'm at 300KPA backpressure lol

 

Made some progress tonight and over the weekend.


Pagid Pads and Zimmerman Rotors Installed!

 

GMG 3" Catless Exhaust Fitted and snugged down. Thanks to 32Krazy for his advice.
Sorry for the crappy pic, it was dark out.

 

F-Hose Installed... And I know why its called an "F"@#% hose.......

 

its looking great!

 

Got the exhaust fitted and ended up using the brackets that finally came in from GMG.

 

Changed the Oil and Flushed and Bled the Brakes with MOTUL RBF600.

 

Did a boost leak test with Marksi's setup and found the throttle body o-ring was leaking and one of the vaccum lines. Installed new throttle body gasket and zip tie'd every vaccum line I could find. Put her all back together and she is air tight now. Installed the APE airbox that I scored from the classified section and spent a lot of time fitting and had to slot the mounting bracket but in the end it came out nice.

 

Since the Forgeline GA1R wheels and new tires are not here yet I cleaned up the stock wheels that were powder coated black and threw them on until the new wheels arrive.


Finally, time to let it down of the stands and see how it looks with the PSS10 Drop. I measured the PSS10's when I installed them and they were all set within the range of the recommendations so I left them there for now. I'm glad I did, the drop is perfect. I can't imagine going any lower for the street. It looks around the same height as my friends GT2.

 

looking good! since your down in the heat of the southern oven you might want to try a mobil 1 5-50

 

Time to ride!!!! Wow, I went out for some fun and all this work has paid off. I have the PSS10's on 7 for now and the car is firm but nice. There are absolutely no rattles from the suspension and everything is as tight as a drum. I used the front sway bar links that came with the PSS10's and everything seems to be happy. Just make sure to install them in the correct orientation that the cheesy little Bilstein pamphlet tries to describe with some very crude art.


On to the performance side...... WOW... I have done quite a few pulls and the car is incredibly strong and runs perfect. It's still AWD and will lite them up hard in second gear. First is totally useless now... I have owned many fast street cars and this one is the Alpha male by far. Before I beat on it too much or turn the boost above 1.2 bar I need to do some data logging. I have a feeling it needs some injectors, and probably a bigger fuel pump too... It also needs an alignment really bad. Hopefully next week I can get it aligned and do some data logging.

 

Now ya' tell me.....

 

Log the car make sure it's not leaning out on that 5 bar ASAP.
