:iagree: I'd love to come see/here it when its done.

Yeah I'm mr.squeezes brotha from anotha motha lol...currently the engine is back in the car and jus have to finish the intercoler piping, oil cooler, fuel pump, injectors and then its off to tuning.

And don't worry there will be more pics and videos and a worthy speedo shot

Yes the clutch has already been put in the car. It is an OS Giken Twin Disc modified to my shops specs = ) one of a kind...

:drool:

Sweet! Stage 1! I'd like to see what you get out of it along with driving impressions. :tup:

Yeah check it out I'm excited as hell, and nah I def don't play around I still have a lot more stuff I wanna do to her but that will be overtime. Yeah rides are welcome but I have a strict 1500mile break in period on the clutch. on another note whoever wants rides I'm sayin this now I'm not gonna beat the crap outta the car for a test rides.

so when are you expecting this to be finished?

man, and i thought the 1100 mile break in from the factory was rough... i can't imagine having to wait 1500 to really be able to get on it with the turbos! what can't you do that period?

Lol um I don't wanna wait that long but I'm not blowing a 2k clutch cuz I can't wait 1500miles...so I def will wait and take it easy..um I'm hoping it will be ready by Saturday if not the early next week.

congrats again and your exhaust sounds very very nice the other day when i heard it while we was chatting on the phone lol. i'm liking it!:tup:

Thanx bro lol squeeze was telling me u liked my exhaust. I'm surprised u could hear it I didn't think it was that loud lol

oh yea for sure. Post up something here when you know what day you're picking it up :driving:

Do you have to remove the whole engine to install a TT kit?

yeah, that thing sounded sweet. not noisy loud. it had this smoothness to it as you gunned your car lol.

Congrats on your project, let the good times begin :tup:

Sam

Um I don't believe u have to, but it suppose to make the install so much easier with no bloody knuckles lol. Um Sam would know better than me, if he wants to chime in.

lol thanx its a fast intentions exhaust with no resonators. I can't wait to hear how its gonna sound with the turbo and the open dumps = )

I know also lol. No you don't have to remove the engine but I highly recomend it.
Frank

Yeah u didn't remove ur engine right? How hard was it to do with it in?

I think it took frank like 2 hours to install right :p

Jeff you definetly need to let me check this out, please!

Here are some more pictures we call the car Dark Knight. The project is coming along well.

LOL god did I wish. It takes me longer then 2 hours just to tie my damn shoe laces any more

Worst experience you could imagine lol. Just plain out sucked. Might have been better with the car in the air. But it took damn near 5 hours just to get the driver side header off. Not to mention all the heat shield bolts were stripped and all. I would never do it again lol. Good learning though i must say taught me alot, But i will not do it again.
Frank

Wow mucht credit to you for doing that without a lift:tiphat:

Took less than an hour for Baker Tuning to have the VQ37 out of the car and on to a mobile engine stand. Looks like they are doing a great job. Its going to sound mean with the 3''+external wastegates. Can't wait to see more!

Yea I heard it is pretty easy to get the engine out of this car. Wish I had a way to do that lol. When i buy my new house this time next year i am putting a lift in my garage, screw this working on your back junk
Frank

sweet. excited for numbers.

Me 2 I'm excited as hell...I'm def shooting for atleast 470whp...so we will see wat happens...

Very achievable.

What psi level do you want to hit this number? You have the parts to get the job done.

Alright well lets look into this real quick here before we start shooting numbers out. Number one lets not get crazy caught chasing the numbers.
Number two please correct me at any point of this if i am wrong.

Alright according to GTmotorsports.com stage 1 is capable of 500 HP. Now Sam rates all horse power as BHP unless he says other wise. 500x.17=85
Now 500-85=415

Not trying to piss anyone off but is this kit capable of pushing 470 to the wheels.
I know the stage 2 is capable of 700hp and thats what most of us are running and thats where were at with are power. Just wondering. JB you would be awsome here to put me in my place.
Frank

Of course this kit is able to push 470whp...I talked to Sam the other day and 500whp is achievable with stage 1. I have all parts to make that power. R u kidding me 415 lol that's wat his supercharger kit is pushing on the white nismo.

Those numbers are per Garret turbo compressor maps and they are way underrated .

Here is an example of a stage 1 dyno graph
