Thx for the vid!!! I was wondering if it would help much if you used Windows Media Encoder and end up with a smaller file? It's a free download from MS website. Just convert whatever to WMV format.

 

I don't think so. I used vdub to compress the video. What's making the video large is mainly the sound. I tried to compress the audio more and had it down to 11mb, but it made it sound like total crap.

 

Just download the vlc player from www.videolan.org and it has all the codecs for divx. It will play everything for you.

 

Awesome vid.. ..take some more... ..Nice car BTW!!!

 

Well that was fun to watch. Sounds really nice.

Any traction problems on the highway? (I.E. punching it in 3rd)

 

yeah I must have watched it 20 times! When is video2 due out???

 

+1 I cant wait for mine to come in. Nice vid, Im surprised how loud it is, sounds great.

 

I borrowed a camera to make that one, so if I can get another camera maybe I can do something soon. Of course, I could just buy one myself but that would mean I would have to wait on the new hood... hmm...

I haven't noticed any issues with traction when WoT from 3rd. The 285's in the rear take care of that. In 1st and 2nd I can break traction no prob.

 

+1 Running 275 S-03 Pole Postions here. 1st and 2nd traction is suspect. 3rd and up all is well..

 

That's great news. I'm running 18x9.5 in the rear, I'm hoping I don't have to go to heavier 19"s.

I've noticed that my car will easily break loose in 3rd in the rain, etc...so I was imagining with all this extra HP that it could be an issue on dry pavement...these cars just have so much torque.

I can't wait to get one! Just a couple more months and I'll be ready!

 

Just run as big a sticky tire as you can get on there...

 

thanks for the video its was great!

 

Really, really nice. That is the next thing I will be doing. Any suggestions on the exhaust to run with?

 

Any y pipe back exhaust will work. I'm currently running the Apexi World Sport 2 exhaust and I think it sounds great. taurran is running the Fuji and obviously it sounds good too. Other options include Apexi N1, Tanabe (all of them), Pro-1, RSR, rear section of the Nismo....

 

Thanks man. Since you live in Esco where would you recommend to the kit installed? I live in San Marcos so it's not that far away.

 

Its really up to you...Another board member here protocav can do the install for around $800 with no issues. Great guy. He lives in SD and has done the install for all of my suspension stuff, gauges, etc. He has also designed and built a few turbo kits so I trust him immensely. The only other place even remotely close by that I would go to is Danzio Performance up in Lake Elsinore.

 

You got PM...

 

check your PMs taurran.. looking for some info on a florida installer.

thanks.

 

WOW! Nice vid! DARN! The BOV sounds pretty loud. Mine kit is almost done, probably next week. After watching that video....I just can't wait to get my car back. I have to use my OEM exhaust because my Borla TD ca't work with it. Looking for some ideas to fab the Borla to connect to the turbo down-pipe.
I'm also runining Stillen headers( it fits fine with no modify any piping) and Crawford plenum. Will post the result when it's done.

 

Ugh, hopefully the headers work out for you. While mine work, I'm almost positive I'm losing power because of them. I'm going to have to end up putting my stock exhausts manifolds back in to get it running like it should. You should look at kcobean's post to see how AAM fabd up his reverse y-pipe. It looked like a pretty solid setup.

Has your installer given you any word on how your headers are working with it?
