Well just got my quote from the installer on how much to install the new twins, clutch and the exhaust. Only $2700 for everything to be installed. At the same time I'm going to tackle this myself and put that $2700 to good use elsewhere on the car. That quote was also at $90 an hr. He also said about a week to complete everything including the tune.

So I may have to step up my game to match that time frame since I'll be doing on a Sunday and through out the week when I'm off work. Now just need a release date.....already have an oil cooler(34 row) and transmission cooler in route.

Mike what are your guys thought on wrapping everything? I was planning on wrapping it before I do the install. I been reading a lot on wrapping and it seems to help. I know it's not necessary but still would like a second opinion.

Mike@GTM

If by wrapping, you mean thermal wrapping, yes, you can. That said, I wouldn't really do it on this setup.

The way our kit is setup with our exhaust manifolds and heat shields, heat stays in the exhaust before the turbo extremely well and once the exhaust goes through the turbo, then thermal management isn't a significant issue. Sure, you can wrap the downpipes after the turbos to reduce underhood temps a little but it's not going to give you performance gains to warrant the effort and added cost.

For the intercooler piping, you can certainly wrap that for some performance benefits...it'll just look butt ugly IMO. Personally, I'd trade a little performance for a cleaner under hood appearance unless it is a stripped out, gutted race car and every last pony is needed. In that case, everything would be wrapped, vented hood, A/C deleted, etc.

I plan on ceramic coating then titanium wrapping everything.

Tower74 pm me because I just finished doing my own install with the motor in and have some parts you will need to do the install I will give you for free but you have to pay for shipping...

tower74

I always like free.... Talked with my buddy again and he said we can probably do it without dropping the engine out. Of course we are going to have to drop the tranny but that looks as simple as changing out the fuel rails.

You're right, it's not too bad.

hmmm.....might need to start a Tier Four Pricing!

tower74

Hell then it would be around $5k for the turn key kit....Do the math. 50 kits at an average of $5k......Almost $250k in sells. Which is pretty damn good! That doesn't include people like me who are buying more parts at the same time.

If you've got that tranny out you might as well put a clutch and upgraded CSC in...

tower74

Already a step ahead of you...Going to pick up the twin clutch from GTM with a new slave cylinder.. ohh and the 3" exhaust.
