Single digit Auto 1g street/strip build

[b00stedtalon2]

Did you do a back-to-back Dyno? I'm curious on their claim that it supposedly better than K&N. I'm looking for another filter that is more compact to replace my K&N but a little skeptical about this one. I wonder what kind of restrictions at 90lbs+ of air.

Yes, much better than K&N. Whalen did back to back dyno tests and picked up 10-20HP depending on the car.

My personal testing was back to back on the track with no filter then this one. MPH stayed the same. I ran with no filter in my class for qualifying, then had to add a filter to make the car legal for eliminations.

Looking very good man hope to see it soon

 

[4gsx63]

Thanks for the clarification.

Hope to see your build complete and run soon!

Made the downpipe yesterday and wired in the forced four shift box.

Should be able to fire up the car this weekend.

The exhaust consists of 3" SS o2 housing to oil pan > 3" aluminum downpipe > 4" aluminum to the back with a 4" vibrant aluminum muffler.

Very nice build

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Very nice build

Thanks Aaron! Maybe some day i'll be on a level closer to you. Your car and fab skills are very inspiring

PTP turbo blanket in, with hopes to keep the temps lower in the bay. I saw youtube videos of people placing their hand on the blanket during a dyno pull. Good enough for me. Turbo setup is all buttoned up.

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Few small things to button up. I'll be firing it up tomorrow.

 

[Vegas Smith]

Wow, for once an air filter claim is true! I've never heard of that filter. Now I'll have to unload this brand new K&N.

Looking great

Your build is looking good! Seen how you tap and threaded your valve cover for the baffle underneath, are you not worried about them backing out? I really like the oil fill cap with AN fitting seen them around for years , were did you pick it up? thxs

thanks man! I am not worried about it. I used some good lock washers and red loctite. Evo owners usually have to bolt it back in also and not weld since the valve covers are magnesium. I bought the cap off Hal (he is a member on here and sells them).

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Finished up the exhaust, 4" aluminum to the back with a 4" vibrant aluminum muffler.

I reused a lot of it from my Evo and made it work.

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Fired it up today. Runs awesome! See video below. I have a leak to fix and still need to top off the trans fluid.

Car has to go back to my father in law who painted it for wet sanding and polish. Ignore all the dust on the car here .

Sounds and looks awesome!

Magnesium huh I did not know that, thxs for the info. Any Idle how much the exhaust weighed? Sounds good, looks good too!

What size is the intercooler piping? Also, is that an OEM timing belt? Looks different.

This build is great. Nice work!

Thanks! I agree, love the sound. The entire exhaust weighs about 15lbs.

Thank you

2.5" IC piping. Timing belt is an OEM EVO IX belt. They are reinforced with kevlar.

Keep up the good work!

What's the ground clearance on the lowest part of the exhaust?

I'm debating if I should upgrade to 3.5" or 4" being its a street driven car and aluminum exhaust .

7-8" I believe. I could have tucked it way better, but I didn't feel like re-doing everything.

 

[4gsx63]

Thanks. That's plenty of ground clearance for the street then.

Do you have more pics of the exhaust routing. I would be interested to see how you route yours.

That's the only picture I have right now. It's a straight shot from the downpipe and runs along the left side of the driveshaft, it then cuts across under the rear diff to the bumper.

 

[erikoberdorfer]

Great looking car.

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Great looking car.

Thank you.

Took the car around the block today. So far so good. Converter feels nice and is definitely streetable (sinister 8" core 2 weighted).

Great job with the build. Can't wait to see some track passes!!
