Fast Intentions Stage 2 TT build by MA-Motorsports.

I will get to install in a few weeks. I have been very busy. I still need to remove my thermostat and install a restrictor. Then test it. The older I get, the less time I have to do the things I want to do.

Boy this look familiar. LOL

Spooler · 03-23-2025, 11:35 PM

Installed my thermostat housing with a restrictor and then installed my Morimoto tail lights and side marker lights. I still have the headlights to install. Getting there.

Spooler · 03-24-2025, 06:50 PM

The rear taillight quality is good. I was surprised they didn't fit like chit. Fingers crossed on the headlights. I need to get it in my garage to use my 1/4in air rachet on all those 10mm bolts.

Spooler · 03-31-2025, 08:31 PM

Headlights are in. Pictures of my intercooler are posted on Instagram.

I have been working on tuning my boost by gear/rpm. I stopped because it got cold. Time to get back at it. I can throw 17psi of boost at it on the streets with R888r tires in 2nd gear. That is 768whp. I need to fine tune it some more, then 3rd gear work will begin. I am just not that motivated these days. Life has me busy.

Poking around looking at T56 swap. PPG offers a sequential gearset for them from what I remember. If I ever get serious the trans is gonna scatter. It is a miracle it made it this long.

Spooler · 04-08-2025, 11:44 PM

Crazy arse PPG sequential gearset for a T56 is 18k. I just wanted to see how much it would cost.

Spooler · 04-09-2025, 11:18 PM

I am waiting for the new 2wd PPG Sequential to be released. Air shifted for the win. I can upshift and downshift with the Emtron via the paddles with no clutch. Only have to use the clutch to get going.

Spooler · 04-10-2025, 11:28 AM

If you haven't figured it out, this what I want to do with my transmission. I have an Emtron standalone I want to use every bit of.

Spooler · 04-15-2025, 11:06 PM

Welp, the Sequential cost is just crazy. It is more than what folks had in their twin turbo builds from year ago. The DCT swap is less than 1/2 that. I have time to ponder what I am going to do. DCT has been done, is available, and my Emtron can run it with no problem. That may be the way I go. I will sit right her at 900whp until I figure it out. Any power above this and the trans will be unreliable. At 800tq they are a ticket time bomb. They scatter really quick.

NorthStyle · 04-16-2025, 02:34 AM

I've seen a few JZ/DCT builds pop up recently where they incorporated the sequential shifter and a functional clutch pedal; some very cool things you're able to do with those transmissions.

Spooler · 04-21-2025, 12:50 PM

When at 1000whp or above, stuff just goes wrong no matter the platform. It is not a question of IF but When.

Spooler · 04-21-2025, 05:06 PM

Talked with Forced Performance aka Xonarotor today. I have one more thing to optimize on my turbo kit. Not in a hurry right now to get it done. I will get to it eventually. I have a good bit of turbo at my disposal that is not being used, yet.

Spooler · 04-22-2025, 12:09 PM

Not sure if I posted this. Someone asked me how I get my ideas. I dig like crazy for information all over the place. Other platforms, etc. Sometimes you hit a gold mine on stuff you never thought about.
