SlideAlliance : So you actually put in more plates, not just replace the stock ones with thicker plates?

 

damn that's sick. i just got an SC shell, so i'm getting pumped seeing them.
figured it would be best to do a 1JZ in something that can get bitches.

 

yo when steve gets the turbo back to charlie, can i cop the plates and crap? i'll kick you monies or buy you lunch or something next time i come out!!

 

Hey bucky, if your gonna build one check out his thread on ZT.

I was looking through Speedhunters articles yesterday and looking at Calvin Wan's FD



and JTPs FC



I don't see BOVs on either car. Am I just missing them? Or is there some reason they don't have them?

 

JTP's BOV is on the hotside actually welded onto the intercooler.

Look at the 5th Picture down on the side of the intercooler

back to the diff question..

is it difficult to drift with a stock TII rear 1.5 lsd (thats what they have right?) or would it be better to shim that or just weld for now? a full blown 2 way lsd is a bit pricy for me

 

i turned 2 ft of 2.5 DOM Aluminum into this....











Then when I took it to get TIG welded, the homie laughed and gave me this






Radiator is almost done too

 

Whats the reason for the up to down piping?

 

or you could just run it as is, and not spend a dime and do this:


mine is a stock worn out S4 TII LSD. run it until you get the hang of the car, and spend the money on oil, gas, and tires.

 

thats what happens when you cant fabricate, and don't have easy access to a fab shop.
please don't run that crap.....

 

its a roller coaster foo!!!

i took out the 4 inch long pipe from the turbo before the pie cuts and it looks really nice and low.
but yea that **** was trash... the pie cuts are nice tho, i might use those for something else.

the U bend that i have isnt as close as the pie cuts i made but it looks nice and shiny so whatever.

also **** you buckey lol

 

thats what I was thinking of doing. I'm probably going to buy an fc with a tII drivetrain swap this week, the seller was saying the stock diff should be lock up well enough. that picture seems to help too lol.

alright cool thanks for the info.

btw, the stock s4 lsd is not viscous correct?

 

and I don't mean my pants

Ok I have stock front fenders, stock outter tie rods and secret element inner tie rods. I'm running about -3 degrees of camber in the front. My wheels are 17x8 with a +35mm offset. and I'm using Nexen N3000 225/45/17. I can't make it to full lock without hitting control arms (and maybe sway bar).

I was thinking of adding 15mm spacers to the front and rolling the fenders to help that. Need advice......STAT!!


Thanks.

p.s. I also have a Mazdatrix angle kit sitting around I was thinking about installing, but since I can't get to full lock now without rubbing I figured I needed this answered before I get to that.

 

more negative camber and offset... prolly run a 25mm spacer...


i used to run -12 offset with my 17x8.5 with 37mm spacer. Slammed too

 

I have the same setup and less a camber and I don't hit anything.

But yeah small spacers would do the trick.

 

zenki, why not just weld a J-pipe directly to the turbo? Wtf is that ****?




Talking about me priding myself and not half assing ****? Come on dude....

 

Dude 1 U bend and a piece of straight pipe and you'd be set.

That **** is retarded right now.

Have around a 90-110 degree bend from turbo
Then maybe some S shaped pipe from that to the IC inlet.(2 small radius turns pointing opposite directions).

That's what I have.

 

dudes i was stoned and had this idea about air velocity...

 

lol i also vote for pie cutting that **** into ballerness.

it's intercooler piping, get stoned, and make it look less like sink plumbing!

******. haha

 

jesussssssss alll you bros....
where you at with the fashion show?!?


PS screw you 2 and your fullrace couplers lol.... pretty baller.

 

Dude im not over here sounding like a wimp, all lame status. Im very proud of that ****...

its not the final product for sure and was def not half assed, that took some time to get the pie cuts equal so it could make a close U-bend.

 

haha, Dude. I was thinking in my head.

"He must have been soooo stoned to make that"

My engine bay is sooo dirty. Dirt drops and spins on Firebird westtrack will turn any car brown in .5 seconds.

Here's fashion show for ya.
