Those are some nice parts. Do you have a 4.3 or 4.7? Any plans on Dyno's?

 

Great build thread! I'm extremely interested in your final results as my projected mod list resembles yours greatly.

Great color v8v too, I originally wanted a yellow one before choosing one finished by Aston in rosso corsa. Hopefully you still have it and I see it around when I'm in UAE next year.

 

4.3, doing the AM Power Upgrade as part of the project. Yes, I did a baseline dyno.

 

Thanks, I will make sure to post results along the way. I've been here in Dubai for 9 years, I wouldn't mind to be here longer but it's going to depend on the oil & gas industry as well as the looming financial crash to see how much longer I'll stay.

 

Well, the fun has officially begun, I dropped the car off at AM this morning for them to get working on the Power upgrade, rear camera and a few other little things. While there I decided to go ahead and modify/alter a little more while I'm at it, took some inspiration from a gorgeous new car sitting beside mine in the workshop. They will have the car for a week, then it's off to the next shop for the clutch/flywheel and exhaust work.

Pictures from this current phase coming soon.

 

Stopped by AM afterwork to have a look, the guys are progressing well and I was very impressed with how well they have the car covered up to protect it from scratches and such.







They have the new manifold in place, just getting everything hooked back up then the new airboxes go in with the new vacuum lines and aux box.




Heading out of the country for a few days, looks hopeful that it will still be done on Saturday so it can head to the next shop.

 

Exhaust mid-section just delivered, looks good;






Goin to pick the car up from AM tomorrow and see how it feels with the AM Power Upgrade, then it goes to the next shop for the new clutch, lightweight flywheel, headers, cats & mid section. Then I'll load in the Velocity AP tuning. More pics to follow.

 

Checking in to see results, awesome build and plans.

 

I picked the car up from AM a few days ago now and have been able to put some clicks on it, it definitely feels like it pulls harder post 4K, a trip to the dyno tomorrow will confirm gains.

I had the guys snap some pics of the install, here it is pre-surgery;



Ripped apart;





Back together;



As soon as I got it home I installed the new catch can, you can see the new vacuum line coming off the modified intake manifold. It travels down the air intake hose then t's off to each new airbox to control the valves;



Before I took the car in I loaded the new valved airboxes with the Velocity AP high flow filters and took a few pics thinking you guys might want to see what the Power Upgrade airboxes looked like;










I have it scheduled to go in on Monday for the rest of the performance mods, then I'll run it on the dyno again & begin to install all the aero parts.

 

Very cool, I made a thread about my Power pack upgrade about 6-8 months ago.
It is a neat up grade, Even though the power increases really is in the highest Upper River range only. It's still worth it depending I guess on how much money you want to throw at these cars.

Just a quick update, some delays in getting his the car started at the next shop but as of this afternoon they've started. This current shop is installing the Velocity AP lightweight flywheel, twin plate clutch, headers, cats & midsection with x pipe. Should be finished on Tuesday/Wednesday, I'll then go down and flash the new VAP ECU tune in and take it back to AM to have the ASM coding cleared & clutch learned.

More installation pics coming.

 

Nice project my friend!

I see you have nothing to replace your muffler, if interested Im selling a Quicksilver Sport muffler unused for a good price and with a lovely sound and a gain of 3.5 Hp if interested PM

Also me and another guy are gonna buy a Nitron R3 coil overs, if you want to make a group with us to get a discount you are welcome!

 

Here its, as you can see I have three, the original, one installed and the Sport

 

I love this project! So much happening at one time, you're going to see a big difference. It all adds up, and you'll have one hell of a ride when it's done

 

Thanks Marcos, I've been following along on your build thread as well, you're doing some great work. I haven't decided on the muffler yet, when I get the car back I'll see how it sounds, how loud it is and then make a decision. I'll keep you in the loop.
