Read up on the oil pan extension. I think you get almost 2QT more. I have one big oil cooler and the OPE....but will be switching to a twin for better placement. Read up on it.


Whats up RAJ

RC= sometimes you get irregular spray patterns. If you get a good set you're good, if not I don't think RC use denso cores either and all the top tuners (PF,FP,GTM etc) recommend denso core injectors. Thats why I recommended DW. I agree on the Greddy TT exhaust, mine is just loud enough. Plus since you have Greddy Turbos why not go with Greddy exhaust.
Just an opinion.......

I saw that you have 305's on the back of your G. What width are your wheels and what are your offsets?

It makes it easier to blame, errr I mean entrust Sharif for every little thing that way - ha ha.

I've still got several unfinished write ups, videos to upload, sigh. No time - except for an occasional post here on my350. Later!

(whoa, sorry for big OT - I'll delete after Mike has read it - lol)
Good to hear Raj....Keep in touch

I had 2 sets of rears custom made....1 is 11.0 and the other is 11.5. The one in the picture is 11.0 on 305x25x20.

After pondering over it for a while, I decided to wait on the Vette. I figured I would start first with my G35, and then graduate to the Vette later.
if i was gonna go FI on a vette, id just get a regular c6. c6 zo6+boost=boom

XKR; GTSpec now has an "oversized" fron tie brace for owner using larger oil pans or with oilpan spacers. I ordered mine from THMotorsports. Just need to make sure you're ordering the "oversized" verison. *Note I have nnot installed mine yet to personally confirm that it fits.

EDIT: Here is the link for where I pruchased mine; Click Me! I beleive on page 8 is where it's mentioned a revised version is released.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check to see if the one I have is the revised version. I just ordered it a few weeks ago, so maybe it is...

Good luck and welcome to the world of FI. Glad your shop is local to you - makes life a lot easier, especially with the number of mods your putting in. Plan on it going back several times for fine tuning.

Just an opinion.......
When I first started my build and I picked out my APS exhaust, my HP goals were much lower. When I ordered the APS 2.5" my goal was 500-550 hp, but I kept upping that. Japtrix told my that 600 hp might be achievable with the APS 2.5", but they felt we were pushing it. Once I started talking about 650 hp, Japtrix said it's now time to get a bigger exhaust. I now have the Greddy Evo TT exhaust with the SGP wastegate relocation kit and custom test pipes. So RCDash and CoachK, you were right.

On that note, I now have an APS 2.5" true dual cat. back exhaust system and 2.5" test pipes for sale. They have been installed and removed, but before the engine was ever fired up. I paid $1195 for the exhaust system and $199 for the test pipes. I will sell them both for $1100 plus shipping. 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.

We are now also switching to a twin Walbro in-tank pump and 1000 cc peak and hold injectors.

Roger also suggested re-flashing the ECU.

I also have a brand new APS oil pan for sale. (I did not realize that Japtrix had already installed a Greddy oil pan.) $90 + shipping.

why don't you get the sgp 3" downpipe(specially made for the greddy tt ) , i upgraded from 2.5" testpipe to a 3" downpipe you could difinitely tell the turbo spool up quicker , and i gain more power too at the same boost level .

Too late, the custom 3" testpipes/downpipes are already on. They look great and should flow very well. Roger did a gradual flare from the output of the Greddy turbos up to 3". He also cut off the flanges of the Evo TT exhuast (which narrowed down to 2 1/4" I think) and flaired the exhaust pipes to match up to the 3" downpipes. In addition, at my request, he ran the dumps back into the exhaust to keep the noise down. I didn't want open dumps.
