i think this would be a neat idea to clean up the ca section a little bit from people postin pics of their cars and engines.

so i just put my fmic on and it ended up costing me only $200cdn!!and i painted my valve coverpics are ****ty cause of camera phone cause good camera is at the bottom of a lake.breakdown of costssold smic for $150cdnbought new ic for $250cdnpiping was $100 for mandrell steel bendscouplers were freebies from my friends greddy ic kit after he put it into a ditchtotal cost $200!before paint and in the middle of fmic swap

i pulled 2 car lengths between 2nd and 4th with my ca on a buddys kat with equal manifold and t3 at 5psi, before the fmic he would pull about a car length on me from 2nd to 4th!

maybe this can be stickied if you guys like this idea?

Take note, if an intercooler makes this much difference in power, the stock sidemount is pure crap, even as stock boost levels. Damn heat sink...

Green and Champagne Jon? I think that's a a new trend....

i was really going to do the whole car, but the night i finally took it out of the shop i washed her and shined up really nice, now i really cant part with the factory color. im goin to fix up a hatch and paint it green also.

its been so fun being able to drive it again after all the crap i went through the first time around. it runs so good! ,took her out drifting and in the infield of the course i kept it around 8-8500 the whole time every run almost. i think it loved every bit of it!

What boost? What injectors? What fuel management?

[jjwilks240]

[char6310]

C-rad....Running GTR injectors (440cc's), running a S-afc...Have a Greddy Profec B Boost controller...the 260rwhp was at 17psi, and the 246rwho was at 14-15psi. Then Dyno Tuned...you can see how much Horsepower I gained just from tuning! At 14-15psi...My first pull was 229rwhp, and after 4 runs it was 246rwhp! Gotta LOVE TUNING! Plus the drivability improved greatly! Feel free to hit me with any other questions you want!
