So XKR (Mike) brought his car back for a fresh round of mods. Let's call it Stage 3.5. Along with the car, came a whole list of things he wanted us to do, much of it custom. I just kept nodding my head...not realizing what we are getting into.

We started by swapping the JWT 700bb turbos with the larger 850bb units, and upgrading to a large Greddy front mount intercooler. We have found that after about 13-14psi with the somewhat restrictive JWT intercooler setup, we start seeing boost taper, even with large 3.5 inch downpipes. Switching to the large front mount intercooler and 850bb turbos completely fixed that issue.

Mike tracks his car frequenty, so he asked us to make a new front support brace to connect the subframe points...since the OEM brace was removed for the intercooler setup. Chris came up with this design, and fabricated this nice aluminum brace in-house. This was not designed for crash protection, but rather, chassis stiffening. His aluminum welds are superb.


Just clears the intercooler....close.


We also installed a second oil cooler and oil thermostat, to assist with oil warm-up. XKR likes two of everything, it seems.



Obligatory engine bay shots:





Mike also had us install a set of TEIN Super Racing Coilovers 16kg springs with remote reservoirs, and dual EDFC's. One EDFC controller handles compression, and the other handles rebound adjustments.


Our interior designer custom molded, and painted Mike's gauge cluster, which houses three Defi Gauges, Intercooler Temp Gauge, and Knock Amp.


CampII:


Clean dashboard, with no CEL's via FP Spec ECU Reflash (reflashing done in house now)






XKR is showing ToastZ how big his turbo is.


Mike wants to keep his numbers quiet, until after the ZDAYZ airstrip event. I guess there are a few people he wants to put a hurtin on. But I made 596whp on straight 93 octane. Thanks guys!

 

Congrats Mike on getting your car complete.

On another note, your gonna need more than those new turbos to beat me

This airstrip event will be EPIC.

 

I need more info about the camp2. Anyway that is crazy and looks great. The welds look amazing as well

 

Congrats Mike!

 

It still has yet to beat a stock block Greddy TT.

Congrats Mike. Look forward to the Airstrip event vids next year.

 

Epic congrats buddy! The car puts down some serious power. And nice job to Sharif and the FP crew.

 

Dil Dil Dil......Sharif gave away too much...but read it again....Thats almost 600whp on DD with 93 pump .... you thing there is some info missing

See you at th airstrip....

 

I'll never tell the super duper Top Secret info I have lol.

Besides not like it matters, neither of you can beat a Automatic G35 with 480whp.

 

^I have the same info methinks

 

Amazing man, good job FP

 

 

Haha keep in mind my car is about 600 lbs lighter than yours and I can drive the breaks of my car

Just hope that we get a longer run way or its game over

 

Front bar came out very nice. Car looks great. Nice job for all involved. missed this car by a few days

 

Thanks guys...

Man I gave Sharif a hard time...not deserving....this time around was hard on everyone because of all the custom work that was done and my wanting high whp's....I knew he could do it and ended up getting way more than expected.

Thanks again Sharif, AJ , Dillon, and Chris...

See you soon for external traction control

 

Nice setup Mike,
Are you displaying the camp2 on the stock navi screen? People say it is some goofy aspec ratio so it would look wierd.
Maybe I can make the airstrip event to see more crazy people like myself.

Tom

 

What you need to know about the Camp2?


Yes ...I am using the stock Nav screen...Its easy to see while driving because of where its positioned.

Hope to see you there also.

 

Damn I wanna go to the Airstrip. . . guess I will have to settle for Italy.

 

lol....On monday it will be at a shop here in Houston for some weight removal....The only thing that can save you is a short runway..

 

^Interesting as I am playing with a nitrious kit and adding carbon fiber parts to the car

Looks like we will find out at the Strip who has the fastest car!

 

Im getting more and more excited everyday Sharif! With the amount of cars you are bringing out is amazing! Congrats on another build.
