The shop is "WINDY CITY ENGINERRING" 3244 W 30th St. chicago Il 60623tel (773) 254-8113tEknoS13 wrote:Hey its you lol. Where do you stay by? Dont worry I will not attempt to jack your car lol. So you got an SR huh, which version redtop, blacktop, VVT?
So did you get the engine block cleaned up as well? May I ask where you got it done and how much did that all cost you? Did you take it disassembled already or did they do EVERYTHING for you. Sorry for the world of questions..
you forgot limontEknoS13 wrote:Yes sir, add that to a bag of Cheetos Flaming hot chips and that'll put some hair in your a@@ lol
But yea good stuff
I will get Tomei 740cc injectors when I complete my setup. Im shooting for 400whp. For management Im sure Apexi Power FC will make its way into my car. What are your goals? Turbo upgrade?lilpiton wrote:well i got stock oversized pistons just cause my piston fried and the wall was screched up. yea stock pistons, new but stock. the rods i use the once from there. and the head is stock too lol. the aftermarket goodies are like a FMIC HKS exh mani with the elbo, HKS downpipe HKS intake and a apexi catback HKS turbo timer. I just picked up the greddy e-manage ultimate and z32 MAF. just need to pick up some injectors, still not sure what once to go with. and edvise?
well they charged me $350 and my boy did the same thing but didnt bore out the block and they charged him like 200 something.i cant wait till i install the e-manage and tune it cause it was never tuned yet.
what SR do you have?the s15 that you got a ride in, was that anywhere by Midway Airport? cause there was one 4 sale now to far from my house.i guess im just gonna have to put the LSD in there and go do some doughnuts cause i sure dont want a 2 way and the 1.5 works pretty much like the s15 one so what the hek loltEknoS13 wrote:Cool I plan the same as you with the current oem turbo. However, your car must have more power than mine, bigger turbo and VVT.
The s15 helical is nice. My friend owns an s15 Silvia and I got to ride in it. He did a burnout and it launched pretty quick. I know its better than a vlsd from a J30.
yea pulaski and archer lol...Archer right here is like the main road that ppl cruise on and meet up chill.my buddy had an 240 hatch with an s15 front end and he was by my other buddys house and that s15 seen him and pulled up right away once he seen the s15 front end lol. i went to that dealer ship where it used to stand. its not there no more. he had that STI, orange with a big as wing.tEknoS13 wrote:I have an s13 redtop SR.
No not really by Midway. Its on Pulaski and I forgot what other street
Yea he still has it. Oh yea I know plenty of people around, a little too many people I might add lol.lilpiton wrote:YEP YEP. so the s15 is not gone huh. i thought it is since it not at the dealership no more.so you know some ppl here i see. you got any pix of your ride?and did you ever ride it cause i see that you started this thread like in 07 right?and you mentioned that you ride is been standing in the garage for 8 months, and now your saying that its still standing so what happened there?
oh sounds good, so when do you think your gonna pull out with the beast?tEknoS13 wrote:
I did ride my car for about 5 months only, until my KA decided to spin a bearing. As soon as that hapened I took it straight to the garage and tore it down. The reason why its been like that for so long is well because Im kinda dumb when it comes to money management. I spent all my money buying good aftermarket parts for it and forgot the most important thing, the BODY itself. It has a hole by the left strut tower and more, so instead of fixing that I went off with the parts. I was unemployed for over 5 months so that set me back a lot.
BUT, my car is going to the body shop sometime next week and so is my head
Sorry no pics actually
Yea the BC retainer/spring combo looks but I will stick with the oem stuff if its all good.DriftBoy07 wrote:I dont think it would be a problem for them to check it out, but its a machine shop dont forget, not a auto place-they generally do all sorts of crap working with any kind of metals etc, not necessarily engines so they might not know crap.
At the least I would replace the springs, its a healthy investment at this point because your going to be running high boost and revving it to redline daily lol. The last thing you want is valve float
I have no experience with different springs in our cars but Brian Crower has a reasonably priced set from enjuku-> http://enjukuracing.com/brian-...4_188
