he really is lol,

oh and i have a mx6 valve cover painted gold, a P5 ecu, P5 drivers side fan...uhh yea, nothing really i would think you want for a transmission

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Lol...I guess you could say I am a parts *****...I like extras for when I need stuff, even though most of the stuff I have I have never needed...not sure...I have gotten mixed response to what the tranny is worth honestly...it has around 70,000 miles on it...what do you think it is worth...

 

[justanothermp5]

no idea, i havent seen to many transmissions for sale on here so its hard to guess
i mean i can give u whatever parts you want (if any) and help you out with your turbo install and i think we would be even lol

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Lol...I can get Mike and Jeff to do that for free...lol...just pay for food and drinks...from what people I have talked to through PM are saying, the LSD tranny with that mileage should go from around $800 to $1000 shipped...

 

[justanothermp5]

damit, i forgot you knew mike lol and yea..i dont have any money but as soon as i move into this house in charlotte im gonna try to get a job..or win the lottery

 

[justanothermp5]

OH just thought of this, i can trade you my hood, the CF one

it'll need to be repainted or re-cleared, its in decent condition

i could even sand all the paint off so its just carbon, and then you can just have it re-cleared if you want, or i could reclear it in my garage, let me know

 

[justanothermp5]

okay so im changing up my turbo setup, without hopefully spending any money, in the long run that is
i am about to buy a log manifold off of kz9, that he used for his car for dirt cheap, then i plan on selling my manifold, and turbo, and buying a bullseye power s256 with t3 flange, i have to get a downpipe made (or make it myself) but that shouldnt be too hard at all

i need to get a dam job, that would help things for real lol
anybody have experience with the borg warner/ bullseye power turbos? they are ******* CHEAP compared to garretts of the same size, just wondering why (ie: bad seals, bad compressor wheels, stuff like that)

 

[HKPRO5]

I'd you are looking for cheap turbos (of all sizes) you should check out the Zilvia.net.
They have super cheap turbos (large ones at that) in the FS thread.

 

[Delerious]

Be careful with off-brand name turbochargers. There's usually a reason they're so cheap, and they have a much much higher rate of failure. If you're looking for a straight up cheap t3, look for the t3 off of a 1985-87 nissan 300zx (z31). One from the 84 will work too, but it's only air/oil cooled vs the water cooled of the later ones. The 88/89 models have t25's with t3 exhaust flanges on them. They can usually be had for around $100-150 in good condition.

 

[justanothermp5]

thanks for the info! i actually know a local guy running a borgwarner on his 500whp mz3 lol
but I havent really heard too much about them past that, ill def check out zilia.net, i kinda want a brand new turbo with no problems but ill see what i can find

 

[HKPRO5]

They have new and used. Just cheaper and alot
More choices than here haha.

 

[justanothermp5]

yea i just started looking and i already found 3 turbos lol ones a t3 flanged 60-1 for like 575 +shipping, not bad at all

 

[HKPRO5]

=)

I bought 2 t25s and and rebuilt them for fun haha. $30 each....

 

[justanothermp5]

dam lol thats a great price
but not sure if many of you knew, but i was in the proccess of sanding the paint off of the wings of the hood and re clearing it,
well i finally re-cleared it yesterday and let it dry overnight, then i put the hood on the car and started it up, got it up to operating temps and then just let the hood bake from the heat
ive so far only colorsanded 1 half of the hood, looks amazing, here are some picsss

all of the ones above are before color sanding

wet sanded with 2000

after color sanding/buffing

 

[azuelke]

I have a cf hood that is in need of a good re-clear... wanna drive up to WI? (rofl2) Looks damn good.

 

[Lewis7789]

Nice job, Simon! Looks great, man.

What are you going to do with your rusty hood? Is that your winter hood now? heh-heh

 

[justanothermp5]

thanks! and i just put the rusty hood in storage lol my brother still has his up at our house,
not sure what he is going to do with it but im done with my hood lol i liked the look for a while but now im kinda going for the *clean* look

even though my painted rims dont really fit in that category

 

[HKPRO5]
