Who doesn't?

 

Congrats JZ! About time you bit the bullet! lol Can't wait to hear the numbers!

 

Thanks Rob, I'll definately post em along with the tuning date incase anyone wants to come down and watch my car blow up

 

It won't blow up, TC does great work. But it would be cool to see it tuned.

 

Definately Devildog The tune date is probably 100% going to be during the week so I'm not sure if anyone will be able to make it including myself because of work but I'll post the date none-the-less.

A little update from my visit to the shop today. The FMIC is mounted and all the hard Turbo stuff has been done, the wastegate relocation kit has been mounted and exhaust bolted back up. We did run into a snag though with the Borla exhaust, it's cracked AGAIN! ARGH! I took Tobi the stock exhaust I have to be installed in place of the cracked Borla. The Borla has cracked on me 3 times now, it's some ****ty metal. So now that I'm going back to stock exhaust the car won't have a mean exhaust note anymore lol. But a benefit of the stock exhaust is the flex section, should help prevent any vibrations in the exhaust especialy in the turbo sections and not have bolts back out etc. So now that all the big stuff has been done, it's on the the many minute things like running the charge piping, installing bov, fuel pump, injectors etc.

 

OH MY FREAKING LORD!!!! That is beautiful/amazing. I sooooo want to do that (duhhhh) Soon as I get 10K I'm not using, sound like alot more went into it then what was first thought? Your not building internals? (not that I blame you) what kind of boost to you expect to run?
Saweet ride man!

hey hr2 I'm going to be sticking w/ the stock wastegate springs boost level - 7.5psi. Since it's the stock bottom end I'd like it to last long enough for me to rebuild later w/ forged internals. For now I want to enjoy it for a little whilte before going ape **** on it. Yeah the Greddy TT kit in itself aint complete by a long shot. Going with upgraded fuel pump, oil pan spacer, UTEC (versus emanage blue), turbo timer, bov, and colder plugs. I definately wouldn't install the Greddy TT kit w/ FMIC the way it comes. Thanks man!

Another short update: most of the air filter & charge piping has been run. Getting close - should definately be ready by next friday SVRT's wastegate relocation kit looks so damn slick when installed, can't wait to hear the atmospheric dumps - should scare the hell outta small children and moms

 

Ok Juztin, you got a week to get that beast ready for the drive!!! Get to work, I really want to see it before I leave!!! Come on it can't be that hard, they do it on Overhauln'!!!!

 

hahaah it's getting close DevilDog!

Today's Update from Tobi @ TC Performance:

I finished most of the stuff under the hood today, I am missing a couple of couplers though. (Thanks again Greddy) The coolant overflow bottle fit terribly in the position that they would have you install it so I made my own install bracket and put it on the right side of the fan shroud. I also installed the catch can today. Tomorrow the intercooler couplers will arrive and I can finish the under hood stuff and move into the interior and electrics.


Here is a pic of the modified fuel rail before its install

And another after the install...

Here is an overall shot of what is left to do.

A better shot of the washer bottle install, the Greddy instructions sort of suck so this may helps someone out.

Goals for tomorrow:
Turbo timer
Coupler install and finish front bumper and fender liners
MAP sensor
CAS wiring
hopefully startup and leak check.

 

wow looks hot

 

Justin, that is badass! You better not bring your daily driver to work the day after the Z is ready; would love to take a ride in this beast.

 

haha will do Usman!

 

holy CRAP! It's on! Justin in one lane...Kevin in the other...I get to keep the loser's car!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL hmmm for Kevin's car i'd need to up the boost!

 

J-man, I'll make you drive against Juztin, so at least we'd have a chance!!
I'll be hiding in the trunk! HEEEHeee

 

Juztin, man great progress,looks so clean. You gona need a long neck funnel to fill that wiper spit jug.

 

Look....I'm not gonna jerk your guyz chains......I want one of your cars.....I don't care how I get it......

 

LOL, sounds like upgrade "Lo Jack" systems would be a good investment.......

 

Heck! with Kevin all ya gotta do is ask to borrow it!!!

 

Thanks guys LOL, a little update from my camera phone today:
