they are S5 sides without the front fender piece

 

ok

 

Does any1 know what Turbo Ryosuke uses or is it just the stock one? I think when he did the detune he went back to the stock Turbo but they don't say what the upgraded one was. Any have an idea?

 

Most likely a hybrid turbo since he's using a top mount.

 

I didn't notice he had a TMIC. I need to find some pics of his Engine bay then and give it a good once over.

 

Would 17'' MS-01S need spacers? Does any1 know?

Here is a link with some info about the rims

Depends on the width.

7.5 will be ok.
8.5 and 9.5 need spacers.

9.5 will not fit up front with stock fenders. 8.5 might rub also.

 

i think in stage one where he races Fujiwara, theres a still of his bay and i think there was no intercooler, but looked like methanol injection. Although, the video quality was very shitty.

 

with that high of an offset you worry about the strut getting rubbed, not really the fender. my bro has FN's with 9.5 and 12 offset and has barely rolled stock fenders.

 

Yeah I ment strut, but I could edit it.

 

Would the 9.5 provide that much more performance to go threw all the trouble in getting the spacers and customization and what not. Cause if no I will just use the 7.5.

 

Well you're gonna be up to close to 300hp I'd go with the 8.5 all around or stagger it like 7.5/8.5 or 8.5/9.5

 

So basically it is just personal Preference?

 

Well bigger wheels and a stagger will give it more of an aggressive look. Plus the wider rear will help with traction. I'd go with the 8.5 all around, so I could rotate my tires. But that's my preference.

 

yeah i got work vs-xx 9.5 in tha rear and 8 in tha front. now that i am going turbo im gonna change the barrel on tha 8 in to a 10 +9 offset. im gonna need to get the bigger barrel to fit a 235 cuz the power increase. i dont use spacers or anything and the rims fit fine. i recommend buying 16x8 or a 15x7 in wheels cuz its easier to drift low speed turns.when you increase your rev b4 a turn then you need a bigger rim to to keep some traction.

 

I am just trying to get the size Ryosuke has on his FC. His Wheel base is 96.5 inches.

 

Now if you are going to buy the MS-01S and are going to put alot of effort into drifting and become a skilled driver, then get the 17x9.5 cuz you would be able to put a stretched 225/40/17 on there for less traction and still have the chance to fit a bigger tire for more traction, later down the road.

Now the 17x9.5 comes in a +38 offset, which with a 9.5 inch rim, would fit fine with no spacers, and would clear the strut.

Now, none of this would look good without Coilovers, so get a good quality set.

Good luck with the Replica, just dont let anyone down and actually drift the FC.

 

9.5's all around?

 

yeah. they would give a great stance and look mean on the scene.


there is a pic of ry's engine bay in episode 22. looks crazy, almost like theres no TMIC.

 

I think he has a FMIC cause I don't see anything on the top at all. I doubt he has SMIC but there defiantly isn't one on the top of the engine.

Stage 1 Episode 24 part 2 of 3 scoobyfan977 has the 1st and last staged posted if any one is interested in watching the series.

 

Yeah, the intake piping runs from the turbo towards the manifold, i dont think he runs a intercooler and runs water/methanol injection to cool intake temps.

 

It looks like the old HKS front mount kit, the piping runs that way so you can keep P/S and A/C

 

yeah thats the **** right there. Honestly, thats excessive piping, and will not give good flow from the turbo to the Manifold.

 

You can use the greddy kit with ps and ac

 

I love these cars guys keep the pictures coming Initial D ftw....note the username
