Lee I have a question, whenever I think about modding my car yours comes to mind as an idea haha I love it.
I was planning on picking up side blades and I can get a great deal on te Aerojacket side blades from a guy local to me. Are there any big differences between the evo-r and aerojacket sideblades? Aesthetically and fitment quality? I honestly can't tell with pics and I've never seen either set in person. Thanks man |
Thanks!
Honestly, I have not seen the Aerojacket side blades in person either. I'm sure they would mount and fit the same as the EVO-R ones. The Aerojacket wing that I have on the car is a perfect fit, and those blades are much easier to make/mount. I think some of the early versions (Aerojacket) tapered towards the front of the car, but the ones that I have seen lately are the same as EVO-R. Here's a pic of the taper that I'm referring to. Basically the front doesn't stick out like the rear does. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/Mzk4WDcwMA...T284-/$_12.JPG If they look like this, then they will evenly stick out like mine do: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...803_172431.jpg Hope that helps |
I would run the aerojacket ones if you have the mudflaps. Evo r otherwise
|
thanks a lot lee! I'm going to take a look at them tomorrow.
And thanks for the advice Jay, not sure which version aerojacket side blades they are but it's a great deal for a new set and I don't have mudflaps. so I'm going to check to see how they'd look and the fitment quality tomorrow |
Luving your car :)

I knew it!

As promised, here are a few more details about the setup. Special thanks to Esfourteen for selling me a great kit that was very organized when shipped:
GTM Stg 2 twin turbo kit Garrett GT2860RS with .86ar housings Berk downpipes Swaintech white lightning coating (manifolds, turbine housings, 02 housings, and downpipes) AAM oil pan spacer Turbosmart 50mm BOVs 36 row row oil cooler Specialty Z clutch Stainless clutch line Tilton Race CSC CJM stg 0 return fuel system ASNU 1050cc injectors Fuel lab FPR Aeromotive 340lph pump Fuel pump relay some crappy pics during the install CJM return kit http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1120142315.jpg Modified fuel basket with Aeromotive pump http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1120142353.jpg Snails http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...127141442b.jpg Specialty Z clutch http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1201142121.jpg OEM fluids and new 45 fittings for the oil cooler http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1205141555.jpg DIY gauge pod http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...205140025a.jpg Tilton Race CSC installed - my factory CSC was ripped and probably about to fail http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...205141901a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1205141904.jpg Clutch and turbos in the car http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...205142237b.jpg All assembled and checking for leaks http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...212_182605.jpg All in all it was a good DIY. No major hiccups but you do need to get crafty with tools if you install this without dropping the motor. I will definitely invest in a lift in the future to save me from crawling under the car over and over again. I took the car for a pump gas tune yesterday, but ran into a problem with the wastegate actuators. They will need some adjustment since I was seeing boost levels of 11.5 psi before even getting close to redline. :ugh2: Once I resolve those problems, it will be hitting the dyno for a pump gas tune and E85 will follow shortly after :eekdance: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1213141311.jpg |
great bro!! almost done :tup: can wait to see your dyno numbers when you resolve the wastegates problem
|
cool!
B@t™ |
Nice what did it roughly put down on the dyno? It sounds like you are having boost creep, which is common in internal wastegates. Did you check if both turbos are creeping or just one particular side. Chances are if both are creeping, you may have to either bore out the wastegate hole in the turbine housing to allow more flow or go external.
|
Wastegate issue resolved and the pump gas phase is complete. I visited JMS Racing in San Antonio, TX for the tune. I told the tuner that I was hoping for 500whp on pump.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...20141249-1.jpg Achieved :happydance: Runs were on low (8.5psi) and high (10.5) psi. 8.5psi Pull: 10 psi Pull: I've had many compliments about the Motordyne E370 on this setup. It gives it a close GTR sound on idle and normal driving :D We will try new fuel in the near future, E85 or MS109 in Spring 2015 :tup: |
Congrats on those numbers lee, and on making your car more awesome-er than it was :tup:
|
nice!! are you running test pipes with the motordyne?
|
Yes, berk test pipes
|
Awesome numbers!!
|
Thanks!
