Stage 2+ shipment begins

[ChuckD05]

Full build. Weather has been crappy and having to work during the week so it's tough to get anything done until the weekend and it's raining today. I'm as anxious as anyone. Car is a absolute beast. Trans. seems to be holding fine for now. I'll get some #s as soon as possible. Also bought some wheels for new drag radials and bolt pattern is not right so I ordered another set from autoparts warehouse that will be here next week sometime. It's just impossible to get any kind of pull with the tires I have on it. Hopefully weather straightens up and I can get some data soon. I'm trying so hang with me. It won't be long now. I'm taking a few days off next week and I'll get some data for you guys.

the lightweight apex 17s are an excellent choice of wheel for a car like yours.

Yeah I tried. Called apex tues. and they were out of stock and had to fill a 600 wheel order before they would get some more in so it was going to be mid december at the earliest. I'm just gonna use another set of kosei k1 for now. The apex kind of matched my enkei raijins so thats what I wanted. Tire rack had no k1s in my bolt pattern so I ordered from autoparts warehouse. I'll eventually get a set of the apex. Maybe a Christmas present to myself.lol

lol wow no $#@! ! always have to through sarcasm in there . It was a genuine question with people already hitting sub frame with the power steering pulley and not tons of room was just curious if there was any concern with it hitting the fame under a hard load .

I understand it was a legitimate question, but it didn't make a lot of sense, we wouldn't mount it somewhere where it didn't fit. It tucks in there quite nicely for how crowded the engine bay is. We are happy with how the final fitment came out

I have a set of arc 8s 17x9.5 all the way around and not only look great but are light weight. Good choice if they are available.

Nice that's the direction I'm gonna go. Just sucks they are out of stock. What size rear tire you running? Guy at apex said they were et 35. I was hoping for like a 40 or 42 to bring it in off the fender a little

I think there et 35. I have 275 tires in the rear. When I ordered I was trying to get the 8.5 wide on the front and had to run a spacer to fit the 9.5 on the front but they did not have them available at the time.

I would have the same concern, except that if you're running enough power to require this add-on, you are probably wanting to run solid mounts anyway (AKG or PTF).

This is not a concern with any mounts, the pump is not close enough to the sub frame or uni body to contact with any amount of normal engine movement.

So what will this do on 91 octane without any supporting mods? What supporting mods do u recommend? And what is the power difference between the 19T or 20T or the clipped turbines without or with supporting mods on 91 octane?

Is it possible to tune the car yourself with piggyback ecu?

[gjoling]

Damn I can't edit my own post above me but what I wanted to add is that it is probably possible to retune the original ECU yourself right with a laptop? Do u have any base tunes or anything that could help with that?

There isn't really much to work with if you trying to tune yourself but you certainly can.

I would give ptf a call. Been working with Terry and dzenno and this ptf flash I'm running right now rocks. Car is super fast and sounds quieter and happier than it ever was with jb and the race or e85 flashes. Right now I have hardly any post shift timing drops and car is crazy fast.
