I gave you the part number for the iat bung atleast 30 minutes ago. Your not done yet??


Once you get it painted plan out your trip to chicago so we can race.
Congrats on getting it running. The little bugs of FI are so much fun!

i ordered TWO once cuss i know i will weld it upside down and have to cut it off and the second to make the first one correct see i know myself

 

anyone have a muffler recommendation? i think i should order the muffler first and more pipes before i start welding up the rest of the DP pipes......unless running DP pipe all the way to the back would sound ok, hmmmmmm

 

whatever you do id get a cutout. turbos dont like backpressure. and then take some quality pictures of the piping as i couldnt see **** in that video

 

will do!

 

I was going to go cutout, but wanted it quieter...but not all the weight of the catback. I decided to step up my 3" downpipe to 4" right after the firewall, run a short 4" dynomax bullet where the stock cat. normally goes, ordered two mandrel S-bends to tuck the 4" pipe up in the tunnel area and ordered a 6" round magnaflow muffler there with a turn down right after it. Had to pound in the inner back edge of the backseat, and hung it up on a hanger there from the previous duals that were on the car. Should keep the sound down pretty well, be pretty deep sounding, and decently quiet...plus lighter weight! I'll post the vid of the first startup on the 12th.

 

hmmmmm

got pix?

 

Haha, well as of right now I can get a pic of the end of my DP posted (under the firewall edge) and the hammered floorboard....and a box of exhaust pieces! I'm towing the car to the exhaust shop early the AM of the 12th to get the exhaust done before the car is on up to the tuner. I'll get lots of pics and vid if you can hold out for a bit.

These are the mufflers I'm using...
this in 4"


and this one in a 4" as well...14" length with the magnaflow logo on it (numbers are not correct part numbers) its magnaflow #14163...


both of them are straight thru like this one...

 

congrats on the start up and everything man im in the same position except mine has been down for over a year...not having the car is driving me NUCKING FUTZ geez...anyways, congrats again and glad to see your happy. I hope to join in on this so called "first startup" fun very very soon!!! cheers

 

Way to go, the kit looks good.

When do you think you will be driving it?

as son as i get these little bugs token cared of im going to send it to the tuner, i had an appointment for the end off last month but i was having troubles for like 2 weeks with these flanges i had, apperently they were machines to short and dint have enough lip to clamp down on, ayways hope to be doing burnout vids before this month is over

 

money shot pic!



far left pipe is the 3inch pipe feeding the turbo, the skinny is the wastegate being dumped back into the far right 3inch down pipe,



the pipe that is near the oil filter is the crossover pipe and the pipe to the right of it is where the downpipe end's at



you can see where it ends at here better
the pipe on the far left is where it starts to log into the other side, if you notice all my pipes are about the K-member, nothing hangs lower than the oil pans



and a pic of the outside just for ***** and giggles hehe

 

Im at 6 months good thing is the dyno looks good 500 hp 525 tq at 4k 9 psi! out of fuel,I cant wait but the Z looks dam good wht type of kit is that?

 

backyard kit i built it becuase my car when i planned this setup, was lowered and it scrapped on the ground alot and i didnt want to run pipes below the K, i didnt know about OFI at the time so i started building my own setup, then about 4 months into it i saw their kit and it pretty much would have been easier with less pipes, but spark plug access a bitch, i'm using the manifolds in stock config so plug changes are a breeze about 35 minutes for all 8

tomorrow i'm going to start making my pipe run to the back as far as i can with the left over U bends i have, hopefully i can get it past the tranny running the stock config (along side the driveshaft inside the tunnel, to again keep ground clearence )

 

finally its alive soom mine will be 2 and we will have to have the fi vs na pwr adder run

 

yeah no doubt, you know me i'll blow the thing up just to win, so you can count on a fun race

 

il record your race safely from a distance

 

just make sure you hit the record button

 

still have a/c? anymore pics of the piping on that side? looks good. your going to wrap it all right?

 

yeah i'm going to wrap it where it goes over the steering rack and near the alt, i'll get more pix of it but need to get some new batteries for the camera
