I talked with ETS and they weren't willing to custom mount the end tank on the other side. They said my car would have to be there. That was hitting custom territory.

i think ETS rated ours up to or around 450hp

ken your right builds aren't cheap. I have a hard time paying someone for something I can do that's all. I'm luck enough to have a tig welder and a lathe in my garage. I have made a few things, never could get around to doing a downpipe though... down time... have to say your build is absolutely awesome. I keep seeing good spare parts on fleebay think it would be good to get spares for powdercoat or a head to have port work done?

IIRC our transmission bolt pattern is closer to a j-series isn't it? and the j-series has SHawd transmissions right? to still retain the awd maybe? or we all chip in for one to get built maybe with a different converter and a trans brake?!?! get one of us to beat on to find its limits? or just be happy with it . I don't think ill get there till after the turbo and cams maybe some head work and a full exhaust. should have just built the project car...

if Ken ever gets a moment to compare the drive shaft with a RL and it works we will have atleast a starting point on making the drive train stronger.. i do agree the rear transfer case is more my worry then anything else.. but you have to think.. this was built to also tow so you can deff throw some hp to it.. im sure it can take 350whp all day with out any issues..

I haven't seen his car there in a while, but I found these picture though. Still need a measurement for sure, looks can be deceiving.

Yes, but the RDX is still longer. Either side you look at. But, only way to know for sure is to have them on hand side-to-side.

Never had Gunmetal 19's, just those 20's. I think the BBK pops more with the mirror finish IMO.

OEM: 18x7.5" +45mm
Tire: 235/55r18
Tire diameter: 28.1"
Weight: 53.4lbs

TSW: 19x8" +35mm
Tire: 235/50r19
Tire diameter: 28.3"
Weight: 51.1lbs

Might as well say it's stock diameter and lighter.

Not sure, I have an extra RDX wheel, I'll have to dismount the tire and weight it. The TSW wheel weights 20.55lbs.

i would think the 2010 is around that mark.. maybe a smidge lighter.. the 07-09 stock wheels look rather bulky in comparison

have a favor to ask can you measure the outlet of the intercooler? im thinking of using the mishimoto hose connector with the 1/8 bung in it to run my meth kit. I don't want to take my intercooler apart to check it... laziness on my part.

and did you want me to send you my 800cc secondary O2 off tune so that your starting from something relatively close? it might be a little lean for you but it would be better then the 800cc base map. which was lean for me. and I don't have intake and cam upgrades...

The of the intercooler should be around 2.5"-2.6". In this picture I have a 2.75''-3'' coupler on it.

Yeah, send me over that tune if you don't mind. I'll upload it for sure!
