amazing build. I like the seats a lot. I was gonna comment on the airrix set up until i saw the kit. Should be interesting build. good luck with the sale.

I'm considering visit Philippine soon.

 

Thank you! Actually i painted the lip several times already but when i installed the air suspension i don't scrape anymore. It's very useful! I just lift the front end when needed

 

We started on the Liberty Walk install already Timeline is 2 weeks then it will be dyno/street tuned then paint.

looks like a toy in this shot!


tried cutting the fender myself for a bit. video link


the rear double wall is grinded and welded back together for integrity. also the front fender was folded one for integrity then painted with primer and rust proofing.

 

Test fitted these brand new GT3RS led taillights. I love this updated look!


Test fitted the 20 inch DPE Forged Wheels as well. It's the first LB 997 Turbo to have 20 inch wheels i think. They only recommended 19s with 295 tires. I'm sporting Michelin 325 tires

 

Carbon GT Wing installed

 

Safety glasses dude! Referring to your vid post. You wont like the look of your car if you cant see it.


Looks great otherwise. What setup does the rear end number at with offset and tire size??

 

Looking great Keith! I love the look of the white with a matte black panels. When you're all done it will photo well before you paint.

 

Thanks!

Lol got a lot of comment with that in my IG. Got so excited that i forgot

DPE dialed in the offset for me because it's the first one to have 20inch. Shaved off here and there but eventually it's not hitting anything anymore. Tire is 265 up front and 325 at the rear on Michelin

 

Thanks!! I had the kit since january just decided to install it now. Waited all the parts including the wheels to arrive. I know i'll make adjustments on the kit with the 20inch wheel setup that's why it took forever to install. Made sure all other parts went in first for me to enjoy each mod

 

I actaully like this panda look myself. I will take pics before it's sent off to dyno tuning and paint. Finally the Champion 68mm VGT turbos are here in Manila bro

 

Had a hard time fixing clearances of the front and rear fender because i have customer fender liners done and it was hitting some parts due to 20 inch wheels. We kinda dialed in the stance already but still testing. here's the running stance pic

 

Changed all the undercharsis parts of the car as well for new ball joints etc

 

Off to turbo install


Here's the pic of the Champion Motorsports 68mm VGT turbos

 

Did dyno tune yesterday but we got low numbers around 600awhp 580awtq due to some boost leaks we think. Going to double check with Mitch of Cobb and Tom of Champion to see what's up. We are getting full boost at 4500rpm at 5th gear which seems very high. should be around high 3000rpm. I'm expecting better numbers with my setup, hassles of modding the car lol. I do hope to finish this already and bring it to paint.

 

Update:

Managed to figure out the boost problem. We did several leak test and there's no boost leak. The problem is with the spring inside the forge bov, we changed out to a stiffer one and that solved it.

I got 622whp and 596wtq with 1.5 boost running on 93 ron gas we call it 100 octane here. Full boost at 3500rpm. I think this is the normal numbers for a 68mm on the stock 997.1 engine. The dyno numbers is with 20 inch wheels my tuner told me i should have around +10whp more if i used 19's in the dyno. Also we detuned it a bit around 5000 rpm because there's some knock and put more ignition timing around 6000 rpm up. This is all we got for now given the timeline we had for the paint and car show but i will dyno tune it again after that. They said to manage the torque around 600 and this is what we did but was hoping to do around 650-670whp maybe in the future
