So offtopic, I had to do it. Better than talking about e85 or tires for a hot minute!

hahah

BTW nt05rs.....rock!

Or thermodynamics...lol!

I got my mom flowers. She's in China. And she had no idea I'm boosting my z. Lol

Is the 3"exhaust same design as the 2.5"? Are there clearance issues?

Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

I believe they are both x pipe design. I'm lowered and I have a shaved spot on the drivers side pipe near the mid pipe. I bottomed out while passing car, there was a dip and it was to late. Dips and boost don't mix. Anyway, the good news is the cans are spotless. I think they are higher than the lowest part of the exhaust.

^yep, Cy, I'm 99% sure it's the same, and yes, the cans are higher than the lowest part of the car.

If you do decide to go with FI's 3"... I want your exhaust

If I go 3" it's going to be straight pipes

You can have mine. For $1600.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! It's gonna be awesome!


And I'll think about the exhaust! (I know you got an inside deal [shaking my fist]) I wanna see it first!

Lol...bro, I am so excited for your build. I want to drive an AT with this kit on it so bad!

Sttraight 3's. gonna be loud when those WGs pop open, haha! My setup is pretty quiet!

We'll see how the 2.5" does and decide what I wanna do with my exhaust. But yes, it's going to be very exciting!

2.5" is super capable, but there are some gains to be had in 3" no doubt! It just makes it easier!

I wonder how difficult an AT swap would be with a 7at engine/trans....lol! Likely too much!

Oh man, Fast Intentions crew will be at Zdayz! I think the trip just got 10x better for me :). I'm looking forward to the F.I. turbo setups if any are out there...

... and if there is... someone better give me a ride in their car.


...

please

I am coming along with TerrribleONE and his dad. We are bringing 2 GTR's from out here along with the "Beast Mode" 660 RWH E85 car that belongs to djtodd. Speaking of, wait until he chimes in with his feedback from his weekend at Global Time Attack, Road Atlanta.

Thanks, Tony

Yo Faceglide once tony and the F.I. team release their upgrade for the AT tranny. I'm buying the kit, upgrade, and install. I'll let you drive mine and test it out. =D Since i'm in San Jose every weekend.

gah i can't believe I'm missing another zdayz

I can't believe I have never been to one!

I'll take you up on that !

Then after we shall race because I will too be tuned to E85 lol.

I wish we had e85

Lol....if I'm not pushing 1000hp by then !

When you getting started ?

E85 is a beautiful thing!

Whenever they tell me there auto tranny upgrade is ready. I have 20K now sitting in my account with their name on it.

E85 is like everywhere in the Bay Area. It's amazing. Once you go outside the bay area though it becomes more scarce unless you are in southern california

It's not good here in SoCal either. There are like 2 stations in San Diego, neither of which is remotely convenient.

Really, because my friend has his Supra on E85 and lives in O.C. tells me their all over the place.

LA and the IE have lots of stations

flex-fuel-station-finder

Edit: Although when i lived in WI you could throw a rock from flex station to flex staion there are hundreds there

It is everywhere here at Mile high. Although right now were getting crappy winter blends with 68% E.

I just filled for $2.89/gal. :ughdance:

There's few here in south Florida. Also would be a good idea to call the stations up and verify they have e85. Few links I've followed up on I've called the few stations on the links for e85 and some didn't even carry it.
I wish it was more available and local. I like to drive in my car a lot and it's just a big hassle to have to plan my way around gas stations. Hopefully soon we will see lot more e85 stations.

I'd be interested to see the comparable cost taking into account that you have to use a lot more E85 compared to regular gas to do the same amount of work.

Oh it definitely isnt an economy thing. But it is a constant tank full of race gas at 1/3 the price.

Stay tuned for the fuel system official release and 7AT upgrades! As soon as I get back from ZDayZ it's on.

Tony

I know that this is what you really meant to say Tony. :stirthepot:

:icon18:^this guy.
You're still patiently waiting for your items that have been paid in full! What would he think if he read ur posts??? U sir have to stay loyal to the bitter.... bitter end.:roflpuke2:

LoL. Plus after Faceglide drives my car and we can race. Then we can show that AT > MT in a straight line all day. =D

Hey guys (and girls? :))

Thought I would pop in here with a bit of an update.

I put the kit through a bit of a torture test this weekend at Road Atlanta with Global Time Attack.

Two days of absolutely thrashing the **** out of it. Two sessions were in 90+ degree heat with high humidity.

...And it didn't miss a beat. Ran like a top. I have to admit, beforehand I was concerned with what oil and water temps I would see, but it never broke a sweat. Oil never got over 220ish, and water was never above the middle of the range. As background, I have the Mishi rad and FI 34 row oil cooler.

Anyway long story short: I had a blast. The car absolutely hauled ***, and behaved perfectly. I spent most of the time getting accustomed to all the additional power, trying to find the limits, and building confidence. I definitely need more aero now. Coming down the back stretch at 170ish, the rear is seriously squirrely under braking. I ran with the same RE11's that I've had on the car for some time. They have 20+ heat cycles, so they are definitely past it, but I was still pleasantly pleased with overall traction and balance. Still relatively neutral. Can't say enough good things about the OS giken lsd, although the fluid was totally cooked when I changed it yesterday.

One session was in the wet and that was...interesting? Terrifying? Given you can make it step out rather easily in the dry, it was a handful in the wet. Turn 12 was definitely a "pucker" moment for sure.

I put together a quick clip for you're viewing/listening pleasure. Still waiting on my buddy's to get my some outside-the-car video. We took 2 photo/video guys with us, so should have some good footage.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Stop making me jelly! Can't wait to track mine! I already have my big wing hooked up lol

How much boost were you running?

From what Josh told me...10 psi!

Your car is stupid fast. I love how you blow by everyone on the straits like they are standing still!

Long live the BOOSTED VQS!
