Another turbo P5 thread...

[GMalatrasi]

I got my corksport for 250, the GHL is a huuugely more expensive downpipe but man is it nice all of my exhaust is 2.5" though so I didn't want a 3" downpipe.

So did you "hear"? I'll be using the same set-up as you are now, instead of the supposed GT28RS I thought I had... But now I have to wait 'til June or July to install everything.(sad2)

It'll be worth it, now you can be totally sure you have everything for the job.

Seriously you'll meet the power goals that you can have with the auto tranny at like 5 or 6psi, it'll be nice and fast with seriously barely any turbo lag at all. I can't freakin wait for the autocross season up here to start (probably about two months away at this time) so I can see how she does with the newfound power

I dont want to take too much space out of khaosman's thread here...
But yeah I'm sure it'll be great, but I really wanted to have it now.
And even more so because of the few Solo 1 events that are at the end of the semester. But oh well

 

[khaosman]

Don't mind hogging my thread, it is all the same stuff anyhow.

I can't wait to autocross too! Hopefully she'll be running good enough to go terrorize the first event, one week from Sunday. If not, I'll just show up and co-drive someone's car

Eventually I'll get a cat-back exhaust or have a side-exit pipe made. Mmm 3"

it'd be pretty cool to have both..kinda like an exhaust cut out. but when you hit the button to use open DP, it opens to a side exit exhaust.

I drove a car with a T03/04 hybrid @ 15psi that had a 3 inch downpipe and 3-inch cutout with side exit pipe.. the rest of the exhaust was STOCK past the cutout, it was awesome.

 

[GMalatrasi]

That's another thing I'd like to get the 2.5" electronic cut-out kit... another $215...
I need to win the lottery soon!

 

[khaosman]

That would be sweet. I was thinking the bumper would look kind of awkward with no exhaust there. It'd save some weight though.

Another turbo P5 thread making me wish I had the money to do it as well. Subbin for updates

 

[khaosman]

Woohoo! The GHL pipe shipped and should hopefully arrive on Wednesday. Pretty soon I'm going to be like a kid on Christmas Eve and won't be able to sleep... but right now I definitely can. Soooo tired from working, gg waking up at 3:45am

 

[khaosman]

I'm going to pick up a bunch of misc. crap and then start tearing s*** apart

 

[khaosman]

No one had ZFR7Fs or whatever in stock. What are good alternatives? I suppose I could just search...

 

[GMalatrasi]

Hey I got the 10AN fitting yesterday.
Thanks alot.
Good luck this week

Edit: the guy that was selling me his S-pipe never got back to me with a final price...
So let me know when you can sell me yours... If you're still looking to sell it.

7 heat range? what boost level are you running? I'm using the ZFR6F-11 at 7-8 psi and it's workin fine so far

Pretty much same as you. I asked for those too they didn't have them though lol. I have some ZFR5F-11 that I bought for NA but never got in

Geep glad to hear you got it. I'll definitely sell the S-pipe and whatever extra unused nuts, gaskets etc I have. I'll let you know.

I got the car disassembled-ish, drained fluids, test fit intercooler. Tomorrow I will have the brackets made and welded on so I test fit the piping and then have the BOV flange welded on. I also checked out the ECU situation... looks pretty good, I guess haha. Now to print the pinout and go to town. Need to get a multimeter to test s*** as well.

Take pics!!!!

 

[khaosman]

Take pics!!!!

Nothing interesting yet, but I will. I have people "helping" so perhaps I will put them to work taking pictures, heh.

 

[khaosman]

Good news finally
The GHL downpipe stuff showed up today! woohoo!!! I'm very impressed with them. This thing is sexy too.

 

[khaosman]

And the intercooler brackets are done being welded, a day ahead of schedule as well!

lol everything is ahead of schedule except for ME

 

[GMalatrasi]

Keep it up...
I see no pics yet
