I don't want, I NEED these. Yesterday. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

 

I've been craving for these for soooo long cant wait to open the box and start

 

hey al... dyno day again soon??? im hoping upwards of 280++ whp

are you gonna do the hi-flow 3rd cat too? or the test pipe?

i see me and you hitting 300whp n/a before 2009 !! imagine if we had a 6spd....

 

blackura, can you list your mods? I have a lotta bolt ons but mine is AT

I'm hoping to be in the "every bolt on owner" club too

 

blacura currently has every single mod that I have except for a couple of things

I have the vent in the front which "i hate cars" says doesnt yield any gains
he has the outlaw spacer in the thermoblock... I have the p2r
he has 20" staggered (ftl)wheels I have 18x9"...
and currently I have the procats....

our dyno's were pretty identical...

pretty sure he is going to get some lightweight 18" wheels so the theme of the cf hood can really show... I vote for white axis circuits... with a black stripe to match the hood

well hope no one mobs richie with pm's because last I heard these things were in Japan... probably wont get to his hands till monday ....

 

Is anyone going catless? The deletes and test pipe?

 

Stillhere and I will be running catless, Jpipe, and test pipe. Hey Stillhere!! Betcha I have mine in first!!!!

 

Actually scratch that. He will put the kybosh on my order just so he can try and keep up!! Thats ok. Ill just spray you. We doin your brakes Saturday bizatch?

 

^^Haha, but both of you are going to be running with a zex kit

 

How much is the ZEX kit for these car? How big of a shot are you starting with? I think the exhaust mods you guys are doing will really compliment the nitrous.

 

he running a 75 shot... but if he thinks he can keep up with me he will be mistaken... all I gotta do is wait for his bottle to be empty... hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahah

and just for the record, richie is dropping a 300 cell hi flow 3rd cat... I might throw that badboy on... just to be eco friendly... don't want to smell like ass

 

Yes I am. I have been bitchin about these cats since I got this car. Once these come in I will be catless, j-pipe, test pipe.

 

So what will you do with the extra 20-30hp?

Gonna be a different adjustment on the autocross time trials... Cuz now you'll have slightly quicker throttle response... Slide into a cone on the first turn post precat deletes? or you just gonna go balls out and take her around?

 

close... lol..

i do also have the P2R TB spacer as well as the Outlaw IM gasket.. (no outlaw TB gasket)

and yes, i got staggered 20" wheels lol... but will be going for 18" lightweight wheels soon... that should improve power/speed feel... also, mechanic and I have been looking into some other options for power... but thats a long way out still.... fall `08.... if time permits

 

Oh but Stillhere needs to be Suzy homemaker for a while with the new appt! I do remember you saying you spent your bottle money on your security deposit lol!!

 

I'll be catless/jpipe/test pipe/custom borla catback too!

actually the guy making my exhaust will be making a jpipeback instead of catback so I can sell my jpipe and recoup a lil $$. I'll throw it in the BM soon if anyone wants it.

 

I just got my header wrap in the mail yesterday too, I ordered Brack, Rika Neenja!!

 

I'm curious to see your dyno numbers going catless...you are N/A right?

 

Whole Zex sutup ran about a 1000.00. Wet kit, opener, purge and wideband lambda sensor.

 

Hope you got ur header wrap from 4wd.com... Cuz I paid like $60 something

Imma make a diy on how to wrap these bishes so you don't go out and wrap the entire thing...

Ps. Wrapping ur precats deletes voids richie v6 warranty

 

Yep!

I'll go ahead and dyno it on a cooler day once I have everything installed, probably October? hell I might be FI'd by then

 

Well hell I'm glad you said something... Why not wrap the whole things? Are you serious they void the warranty? Why do I constantly get torn between feeling like I know WTF i'm talking about and then suddenly I'm in n00bville, population me?

I got the header wrap off ebay, 2" x fiddy feet, with some stainless ties.

 

ok this is what I will do... I am going to make a quick how to wrap... so you don't do it wrong and they end up cracking... sounds good?

 

now before anyone says ooooh warranty warranty... I am not talking about the cars warranty... that is not what I am talking about... I am referring to the conditional warranty richie (the seller) has on these, you know the whole mumbo jumbo free from manufacture defect and what not...

the thing about heat wrap is that it physically changes the metal and in worst cases the metal shrinks or even just tares like a leaf... the key is to wrap it correctly... 1/4" overlaps...

 

Get me my procats so I can break 300!

just kidding....but I still ant to break 300.

 

soooo......

how bout a pic on that one? has richie shipped these out yet? I'm a wee tired of waiting

 

pm him, you'll get a tracking number... but that doesn't mean these shipped out yet... he has everything ready just waiting on the shipment to arrive...

ps. just like you are antsy... you wouldn't believe how I am...

ps.^2... bent... dammit... I aint even gonna comment on the 300hp comment

 

^ yea im getting antsy too

 

Me too...

 

I got my pulley on Saturday, was remarkably simple. I have a friend that's a honda tech, I met him at the dealership, put her on the lift, pulled the belt off, hit the old pulley with a 3/8" impact, no luck, hit it with a monster ass 1/2" beast, it came right off. put the new one on, but wasn't able to properly torque it as no one would post up the info on how to remove the "access panel" to see the engine internals and where to put the big screwdriver. he hit it quickly with an impact that's rated at 80-100 ft lbs and everything seems a-ok, i'm a bit worried in the back of my head though about that thing.

All I have left is these precats and my custom exhaust, and I ordered the borla muffs and the vibrant ultra quiet resonator!

 

question- If I try to quarter mile this thing, should I use the manual shift mode? Or just floor it in auto?

 

I ran mine into the revlimiter on the dyno and it was still making power at a supposed 7,100rpm. I would learn to manually time the shifts right before the limiter.

 

Yup time them watch my youtube vid if you need help... The trick is to push the shifter forward as late as possible avoiding the darn delay by making her almost bang redline

Redline bang = loss of power

 

^speaks the truth

 

More like no power.

 

woo-hoo.. looks like these bad boys are getting ready to shiiipppp

MichaelBenz.. i know you're one of the first in-line for em.. but hopefully, ill get mine in a couple days

 

The access panel should be almost in the center under the engine. It is right where the tranny meets the block, it's held by 1 bolt. It may be a slightly different shade or metal than the rest around it. It's about 6-8" long and 1-2" wide. find where the starter meats the tranny and block, then trace it lower and lower towards the bottom of the engine and bam, it's right there...like I said, should be one bolt. I'd definitely try to go back and tighten it properly, right now you're at about half of how tight it should be. 180ft-lbs.

 

^^ correct

181lbs/ft to be exact

 

lol, screw 1 ft-lbs....Most torque wrenches aren't that accurate unless you dropped over a hundred bucks on it...but yeah, 181 hehe my bad

 

I picked up everything today, right now I am packing jpipes I am still waiting on the defoulers for the deletes. Stay tuned.
