I meant to take a camera in there to get pic's from underneath, but I forgot to bring it. Looks good, though.

I'll get picks when everything is done. Right now I'm still waiting on the Cosworth Plenum and the Volk wheels.

If you live in South Florida, you can pick them up either at Japtrix in Riviera Beach or in Wellington and save the shipping cost.

The test pipes have sold.

$925 + shipping for the APS 2.5" True Dual Exhaust (for G35).

I'm going with bigger fuel injectors.

I need some opinions:

Shall I go with HKS 1000cc low impedance (peak and hold);

OR

Deatschwerks 850cc low impedance (they are not standard, but can be custom made).

Jay'Z · 09-09-2008, 05:17 PM

I would do the 850 dw..

I called DW, but it didn't look like they could get the injectors fast enough to get my car on the road by Saturday.

I want to extend a BIG, BIG, BIG Thank You to Sharif at Forged Performance!!!!!!

Sharif had the HKS 1000cc low impedance injectors in stock, already machined and ready to go into the factory holes. He overnighted them for me, and when I just spoke to Roger at Japtrix, he had the box in hand. The injectors are going in today.

Sam at GTM is re-flashing my ECU today, so it looks like I should be on schedule for a Saturday pick up!

On that note, I now have a set of RC 750cc injectors for sale. $400 + shipping.

CRIDDA · 09-11-2008, 08:38 AM

congrats. I bet you can't wait to get your baby back.

ttg35fort · 09-11-2008, 12:34 PM

I can't wait.

I just got off the phone with Sam at GTM, and he's on schedule with the ECU re-flash, and will ship it Fed Ex Priority O/N to Japtrix.

Sharif also just e-mailed me to let me know the wheels are due in in 7 days.

Once those are on, I can have the Wilwood breaks put on. They are sitting at Japtrix, but with the 14" front rotors, the front calipers won't clear my stock 18" rims. I need the 19" Volks to get the necessary clearance.

The last piece of the puzzle is the Cosworth intake Plenum. I spoke with Marty at Injected Performance, but still no word from Cosworth. The plenums seem to be leaking out of Cosworth very, very slowly. My guess is that Cosworth is having manufacturing problems, but that's just a quess.

Anyway, I don't need the Cosworth to break the motor in. I just hope Cosworth gets their act together soon so that I can tune the motor as soon as the break-in period is over.

On that note, I've already informed my wife that she is going to need to take my car on all her trips to the mall to help me with the break-in, but she needs to park way, way out in the parking lot to avoid door dings.

ttg35fort · 09-11-2008, 12:38 PM

A little off topic, but anyone have any alarm suggestions? Viper?

CRIDDA · 09-11-2008, 01:23 PM

As soon as it's complete (with the Cosworth in place, and the Volk wheels/Wilwood brakes installed). But I'll try to get some pics of the exhaust system on Saturday and I'll post those.

Fluid1 · 09-14-2008, 02:02 PM

What is your WHP goal?

Awesome...you have a nice support team working on the car. You're going to love it.

It is purring like a kitten! Thank you again Sharif, Sam and Roger!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm shooting for over 600 hp with 93 octane (on a Mustang Dyno...), and over 650 hp with the meth injection . The limiting factor at this point looks like it will be the Greddy twins (assuming I get my hands on a Cosworth).

ttg35fort · 09-16-2008, 08:49 PM

Here's are some pics of the work peformed by Japtrix so far:

This shows the custom downpipes Japtrix made to mate to the Greddy Evo TT Exhaust, They expanded the Evo TT Exhaust pipes to mate to the 3" custom downpipes. D*mn those downpipes flow nice!!!

This is the W/G relocation kit with the dump feeding back into the exhaust system. The dumps are heat wrapped wright now, but after the Turbo Blankets arrive, those will be installed and Rober will heat wrap the downpipes too.

This shows the custom downpipes mated to the expanded Greddy Evo TT exhaust

This shows the underside with the GTM braces, exhaust, stillen swaybars, etc.

This is another view of the underside of the car. Though you may not be able to see, I have already scraped the main GTM cross brace on one or two speed bumps

ttg35fort · 09-16-2008, 09:05 PM

More pics to come as we get further along in the build. I still need the Cosworth Plenum, the final tune, the Seibon hood and the Greddy side skirts.

Right now it is idling great. Thank you Roger, Sam and Sharif for all of your team work on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roger will be fine tuning the maps after the engine is broken in, but even at this point I can't maintain traction in 1st or 2nd gear with Pilot Sport 245/45/18 tires on the rear. I can't wait to get the Volks and 305 R888s Sharif is providing.
