Well the car is in the shop should be done in about 3 and a half weeks total retail cost is over $20,000 not gonna say how much...and i want to say thanks to greg at injected for helping me out with the build and man if no one has seen their gtr in person just wanted to let u know that it is amazing in person...

 

if you don't mind, can you post up a complete parts / service list of all thats gonna change on your car?

why'd you decide to go with the greddy kit and not the gtm?

what clutch are you gonna be using? ats with slave conversion?

 

GONNA BE USING THE STOCK DRIVE TERRAIN FOR NOW EXCEPT IM USING JIM WOLF CLUTCH FOR NOW INSTEAD OF GETTING A TWIN DISC FOR NOW BUT WILL BE CHANGING IT OUT PROLLY THIS WINTER...GREG RECOMMENDED THE GREDDY KIT MAINLY BECAUSE HE SAID THAT'S THE BEST KIT THAT HE HAS SEEN AND WORKED WITH FOR THE HRs OUT RIGHT NOW...THEY WILL BE DYNO TUNING THE CAR ALSO AND RE-MACHINING THE HEADS AND BLOCK FOR THE CP PISTONS

 

Hopin to maybe replace clutch later on with sumthing like a twin disc either rps, os giken, or tilton...dont know just yet gotta pay for the other stuff first...

 

good luck and please post video! dying to see a tt hr at its best!

 

Will be posting pics and vids as soon as I get the car back prolly will be taking quite a few vids on the way back home with sum low boost pulls so u can kinda see what it sounds like at least till get the clutch and engine broke in good...

 

Awesome congrats. Hope you enjoy it. Would love to do a build as well but shes been holding up perfectly fine under all kinds of conditions. Subscribed to see results.

 

supernadc2: how long (miles/and months) have you been running the TT? Any issues so far?

 

5 months and i'd say about 4,500 miles on it. Running strong no issues.

 

Aye super u got any vids of your car runnin I wanna check it out???

 

At the track? If thats what you meant no. I havent tracked it at all. Actually i dont have any videos of it. The only thing i have close to that is a sound clip of her on the dyno at GTM but that too it doesnt do much for you. I'd say i will post some up soon lol but i'd be lying. I rarely have time to do that kinda stuff an it sucks because i would love to. ive been wanting to do a shoot as well.

 

well hopefully if all goes as planned i should be getting the z back in about 2 weeks maybe sooner...getting excited to see how it will run at last check they had the engine back from the machine shop and were starting to put everything back together will keep updating as i hear back from the guys at injected...

 

Good to hear and GL bro.
What did the guys at Injected Performance say your power range with just pistons and rods?

 

Sounds like sticker shock set in! Underbuying your clutch is HUGE waste of money. The JWT is just a built up stocker. Dont waste your money on that. Drive the stock clutch til it burns up or you can afford a twin disc from the start! I really cant believe that Injected made that recommendation!

 

Hm...wonder if someone from Injected can fill us in on what's going on?

 

We work closely with each and every customer to piece together a package that meets their power and reliability goals, as well as their budget. In many cases, there are decisions and compromises to be made when it comes to certain brands, price points, power levels, etc. Every build is unique in that respect. We chose the JWT setup because it appeared to be the best product for the job at hand. From personal experience with driving various setups, including the JWT, we felt that it was the smart recommendation for this customer. The HR aftermarket is still relatively new in many respects, and we are simply working with what is currently available and tested.

Ultimately, we stand behind every build that we do. If the customer is unhappy with a choice that we personally recommended, we will do everything possible to correct the issue. No two customers have the same budget or preferences, and we always work with that in mind.

 

^^^ so what is the power range in you opinion that is good for just pistons and rods?

 

No one has fully tested the DE engine to its limits with rods and pistons. We have seen the DE well over 750rwhp with no sleeves installed and using only CP Pistons and Eagle Rods. The HR engine is much more stout with a better girdle, taller deck, etc. The HR should be able to withstand more abuse than the DE, but very few people have pushed the HR to the limits. Actually none that I can think of off the top of my head.

 

Subscribed ... Good Luck!

FWIW ... almost 10K miles on mine with no issues. Last UOA looked good, TBN looked good ... going to 6K mile for next oil change.

 

i have had mine done for about 7 months now and i have had no issues at all. it still runs smooth as can be. next summer i plan on doing a build but we'll see how that goes. lol.

im only running 9 pounds of boost at 503whp and 437tq. its all stock internals right now. i needed to get a clutch first and stage 5 axels and better tires than my old proxies like (ps2's) and about 6 grand in brakes that most people seem to forget about once they get tons of power. but i have all of that now so i am just saving up for the motor. my goal is around 750-800whp street legal
