Alright, Role Play since it would take an incredible amount of effort to do this with 100% guarantee that everything is included and packaged properly from my current location... Unless someone is chomping at the bit and throwing money, these aren't for sale currently. Just getting your guys opinion whether I should or should not.
[For Sale] PPE Long Tube Ceramic Coated stepped Headers: Wire extensions not included. $800 + shipping Motordyne XYZ Y pipe with HFC and resonator option. $500 + shipping Tanabe midpipe back exhaust. $750 + shipping Combo package of all three, $2,000, I pay shipping. All parts installed at the same time and have roughly 7,000 miles on them. Exhaust and Y pipe have no scratches. Headers scratched some from install. Go to my pics in my profile to see exhaust. Resonator brand new. I will not lose sleep selling any of these parts and am 100% happy with them. I have multiple eargasms every time I drive it. The rasp you hear on the dyno went away 80% after break in. 95% gone with the M370 intake manifold. With the resonator instead of the cat, there shouldn't be any rasp, but haven't been able to check yet because I just ordered it yesterday. Video's are unedited, and sorry for the quality, I improvised :P End Roleplay If the headers sell, I'll just get the BP kit. If they don't I'll most likely get the GTM twin SC kit. I won't be making much after I get raped by the uninstall of the headers. The Y pipe, I imagine should go pretty quickly. |
Lol! "Thas a big mofo house!"

Yea wives r cool, they do cool stuff too!
Good luck with the part out! Hopefully you can finally get to where u want. I know how it feels to drop coin on all NA parts only to not be completely satisfied and THEN go boost. Did the same thing on my g35.. I learned my lesson the hard way, this time around on my g37 I wasted no time n jus went straight to boost. Love every second of it :) |
I don't anticipate parting it out for a while. Heck, I'm debating whether I want to keep my Tanabe exhaust, and if I go BP, modify the exhaust pipe coming off the turbo to accept my cat. I have all kinds of crazy ideas. I can throw on AAM short tails and remove the rear section of the tanabe exhaust to ummm "amplify" the sound if the turbo is too quiet with the Stock Tanabe system. Short tails are cheap and the tips look like mine. The mid pipe has the same connection points as the stock one, so it brings to mind interesting ideas.
|
So I just rounded out all the cooling upgrades I should need for FI. CSF radiator and hood struts are on order.The last big things that I would like to have done is my diff, clutch/ flywheel, and some minor brake upgrades. So stock looking... Thank goodness it looks great from the factory.
|
Open dump external waste gates! I still have my TIALs in the garage... if I end up selling then I don't have a need to get new downpipes and 3" exhaust and tune. (Sigh)
|
Gonna go BP's single turbo BTW, didn't receive a reply back from GTM on a few emails the past few weeks. Kinda hard when they are busy and I'm not in the States. So in light of that, I will be replacing the rear section with short tails. Gonna keep my Tanabe, I like it too much lol. 18" resonators off a turbo on short tails with an opened up mid pipe should sound pretty beast. I'll save a butt load of money in the end too.
|
Good stuff! When all said and done youre gonna love it and be kickin yourself for trying to go NA.

Getting the BP kit is a wise choice the money that you save on installation is big. |
+1 on the BP kit!
|
Couldn't resist. Bought Z1's upgraded brake kit too. Clutch, flywheel, and diff, and I'll be done with drive train stuff. BP will make it MOAR faster!!! I'll focus on suspension last. Think when I have time, I'm going to consolidate all my data and relevant posts into a build thread.

Nice details!
|
Sounds like you took advantage of their Black Friday deals! Nice!
|
Yeah. These past two weeks I reordered the M370 manifold, spark plugs, oil, radiator, hood struts, hoses, and the brake upgrade. If you go on Z1's thread, I pasted the dialog with my Wife.

All I have to say on this whole topic is that if you every try to install a TT Kit by yourself you will want to galge your eyes out. Hence why I will be choosing the Supercharger kit for mine in the spring. At the shop that I worked at, we installed a greddy TT kit on a 03 350z. NO SPACE anywhere! This was one of the worst experiences working on a car I have ever had in my life.
|
haha. Well I fell upon good fortune. If you click the link on my sig, you can read all about it.

Stay with the N/A mods and add 4.08 gears to your car.
All i have is 304 to 309 rwhp and it goes 12.342 in the 1/4. with the gears your car will be super quick. Z |
Well there isn't much of a need for this thread now. Though it didn't win in my little poll contest, GTM has my vehicle for the twin supercharger install. Linked is my Journal, they just ran a baseline. No changes done to the tuning or any parts I purchased. It's difficult to compare my last dyno numbers at it was in DIN and this was done in STD. Not sure if there were any correction factors or smoothing. Looking at my old March untuned numbers, it is nearly they same when I corrected to SAE. 309whp 241lbft tq. I still think the numbers are low vs the mods, but it's not going to matter soon anyways. Again, just keep an eye out on the GTM Twin DC thread and I'll be posting updates in my journal as well.

Here is what I'm referring to. Everything is 95% the same. Forced Fed Racing did a decent job getting it back to running the way it was. I'm sure the ECU made adjustments as well. The SAE dyno I'm using is my converted DIN that was @ 316whp / 245lbft tq. Lastly, keep in mind, there can be a variance of around 3% between STD and SAE.
