So V1.5 Upgrade is in hand, FI Exhaust is in hand, spent another $500 on new AN fittings/AN hose/clamps/etc. for the new upgrade which should come in this week. Exhaust fab to mate up to the downpipe and retune is scheduled for Dec 6th!

I'll post pics once I receive everything!

Oh in case I haven't mentioned it previously this thing is a monster when temperatures are below 60deg :driving: :tup:

GaleForce 11-10-2014 07:24 PM

Nice! Looking forward to seeing the 1.5 upgrade. Still debating if I should do it.

Hotrodz 11-10-2014 08:11 PM

You got to do it...upgrades mean mo better fun. I'm headed to SpecialtyZ for the Fast 500 fuel system upgrade on Dec 8. I'm looking for 600 plus on race fuel and 500 plus on 91 craptane LOL. I can't wait to see everyone's new numbers.

That's the other thing I need to do, talk to Tony about the Fast 500....

Have fun with Seb and the guys, looking forward to seeing your results. Tell them I said hi.

Hotrodz 11-10-2014 08:21 PM

Will do...I'm hoping I can make the rendezvous this spring when you come down!

Phunk's S1.5 return setup is next on my list but I had to draw the line somewhere. Then I need arms and toe bolts for the rear to try to better put this power down.

jwick 11-29-2014 10:02 AM

On my way to start the V1.5 tear down. Will be upgraded by before I sleep tonight :tup:

That is what I call a perfect day to stay in the garage and build more turbo kits.

95% done. Got tired and stopped before we started making stupid mistakes. Double check everything in the morning and fire her up. Goes to JTran Saturday!

I'll post some picks later but they won't be much different than the ones in Sasha's V2.0 thread. No reason for any videos until JTran tunes it

Very nice! I'm sure the car is a blast. I miss my old G coupe sometimes!

Haven't seen boost yet since the upgrade. Want to take it to my tuner and make sure AFRs are still in line. I'll keep everyone posted with tuning results. Oh and I'm getting my FI non-res exhaust installed at the same time. Should get a good portion of the exhaust volume back :tup:

YzGyz 12-01-2014 09:00 AM

I'm actually more interested in sound clips of old BP V1 with Stillin vs BP 1.5 with FI.

Little late for that. Best I can do is V1.5 with Stillen and then V1.5 with FI. You could check my photobucket. There are some dyno pulls from my original tuning session.

Definitely going to be an entire different ball game. Sorry if I missed it but what resonator option did you go with?

None. Considering I'm running a pretty large single turbo Tony thought the non-res would be the best sounding combination. Considering he has what I consider the best exhaust option for the platform I went with his recommendation. I can always swap it for a resonated x-pipe later on if it's too much noise.

Mitco39 12-01-2014 02:59 PM

To much noise? dont be silly.

Nice I am running the non-res as well and love it. Id say you made the right choice.

Hotrodz 12-01-2014 03:18 PM

Me too...mine is a 3" setup so not as loud as the 2.5", but it makes plenty of sweet music.

I trust what Tony recommends. I mean he was more than helpful walking me thru my setup and custom ordering only the exhaust items I needed for my setup. Being the only G37 BP tubro kit in the world he and I kind of worked thru serial number 001 together. Can't say enough for his customer service and free platform knowledge he provided even though I was running a competitors kit.

**** I'd probably be running his kit if one existed for the G.:rofl2:

You think the 3" is quieter? Interesting, I definitely have this on my list of upgrades but was hoping for more sound!

Hotrodz 12-01-2014 07:21 PM

You got to remember that you are going with a 3" exhaust for performance first...it flows better so more potential power and less back pressure and sound. But don't worry it's not that much less everyone will know you are coming before you get there. :rofl2:

jwick 12-06-2014 04:03 PM

Car is now in the hands of the tuner. I dropped the old Stillen muffler myself at the shop so I could bring it home. Fired it up with just straight pipe and seriously considered just having it tuned that way :tup:

Get it back next weekend. I'll keep everyone posted

Hotrodz 12-10-2014 08:21 PM

Wat up...any update on the tune?

Nope. Stopped by the shop yesterday to discuss exactly what I wanted in the downpipe modification and how it should tie into the FI exhaust. Apparently it was different than they expected. Short story long they needed to order a few SS fittings to make it work. Probably next week before the retuning starts.

Hotrodz 12-10-2014 10:10 PM

Very cool...seems like the whole mod game is hurry up and wait! Mine is at SZ now...I probably won't get it back till the new year.
