How do you like your stillen lip compared to the evo-r? It looks like it dips in the middle... Is that just a weird camera angle or does it flatten out there?

If you hit it enough times it starts to warp. I used a heat gun and a jack to straighten mine out again. Of course I scrape mine daily.. :icon18: lol

I think mine was due to the heat and wind. It has warped in the middle, but I'm not complaining too much for the price.

As for the exhaust, no complaints from me. Sound was my primary factor in choosing an exhaust and i am very pleased with this setup

Updates:

I lowered the rear of the car as much as I could on these BC ER's with swift springs. I had to remove one of the collars and its all the way to its highest point. Tire is flush, not tucking. I kind of wish I had more ride height to play with, but I guess these swift springs are just longer than the normal BR's. I also purchased the BC adjustment knob extenders, but I still need to cut my rear interior panels for that. I may lower the front just a tad, but I'm not sure yet since I scrape alot as it is. I'll try stiffening the front a tad and see where that goes.

Stillen G3 is now installed on the car too, replacing the Injen intake. The intakes were used and were already sandblasted to remove the polished finished. I decided to wrap them in DEI reflect-a-gold tape. I'm sure the gains/temp changes on this are slim, but I like the look and it sure won't hurt anything. I used 30ft and ran out on the ends, but the front of the intake is farthest from the heat sources anyways.

The COBB was sold to a forum member so next up is an UpRev tune from a local shop. After that, the car will probably have zero changes until I can go forced induction. The only mod I would consider is a new set of wheels, I get bored fast :icon14:

Nice looks good. I thought u sold ur swifts to chris. U buy another set?

Boost_lee 05-13-2012 03:01 AM

These are BC coilovers, but they are revalved and have swift springs, not the swift spec r lowering springs

nice job on the intake wrap, looks great! I was going to do this before I bought the twins.

Boost_lee 05-13-2012 04:24 PM

Thanks, I thought about wrapping the motordyne manifold also but with all the crevices it would be tough. The tape isn't very forgiving

dirTy_shoeZ 05-14-2012 01:09 AM

Looks good bro :).

Boost_lee 05-14-2012 02:54 AM

Thanks Mike :D
Jorge will tune me up once I get the funds

Got the car Uprev tuned today. Squeezed out 300hp and 256tq; not as high as others, but they're just numbers :)

Previous numbers were 288hp/251tq at 72 degrees on a COBB basemap. Today was hotter at 93 degrees. Car feels a little more responsive.

I'm not sure why my car isn't making as much power, but if I have time and money we may try again on the stock intake manifold. New plugs might not hurt, though the car is only at 23,xxx miles

Those arnt bad lee if i were you though i wouldnt switch to the stock intake manifold u will only see minimal top end hp gains and probably a loss in torque over the whole curve. Its just numbers. Remember u still have the most badass 370z u have a trophy to prove it haha
