VR Speed factory

[bald_eagle]

I am looking at purchasing from VR speed factory and was wondering if anyone here has used them before? It seems like a very legit website and has decent prices. The only thing I am worrying about is I noticed there is no "contact us" section. I always like to see where things are coming from and sometimes call. I tried searching and didn't find anything about it. Thanks guys!

VR speed sells good quality kits. Simple and clean install with just minor grinding on the pass. side radiator frame. There have been good reviews about this kit, and i might see myself buying this kit as well due to the short route system.

Is there something specific you want to purchase from there that you can't find elsewhere? A good number of the vendors here are willing to price match if that's your reason for wanting to buy from them.

And you obviously didn't look to hard for the "Contact Us" section - it was at the bottom

wow, I was in a hurry but yeah it is at the bottom....Sorry about that I am looking at getting an ACT 2100 clutch kit. I would love to use a vender from here, I didn't even think of that! This site has helped me out a LOT. I am also open to other clutch suggestions. My trans died and I just got it back from shep. It's more or less just a stage 1 build. My goal is about 300 WHP.

 

[Dsmj89]

An act 2100 is very streetable and would fit the bill for your power goal with no problem.

Thanks again DSMj89! I just looked through vendors and VR speed factory is actually ON there! I totally deserved to be flamed! Thanks!! The DSM should be back on the road sometime mid next week!!!

 

[Dsmj89]

No problem. You won't get flamed, remember, we were all noobs at one point. Make sure you don't forget your maintenance either if you haven't already done so before you start modding away.

 

[bald_eagle]

I am! I have had the car almost a year now and have been doing mostly maintenance. Im down to pretty much the timing belt which I am gonna get done before any real power mods go on.

 

[Dsmj89]

Sounds good. Good luck with your DSM.

so does any one have more specific specs on this intercooler besides how big it is? i cant find any info on what this thing is capable of, pressure drop etc. it looks like the ssac and ebay kits only costs a little more. i just need some convincing before i go buy this kit for more than competitors with identical kits.

You have to sift through these pages a bit, but all the info is there. I believe you are looking for the 35-40 psi that they're pressure tested at while in production. This info is in post #17 which is about half way down the first page of the thread.

Also, they just had this group buy a few months back and because there was SO much demand for these kits, they ran out of stock on them. They, now, have a second revision in development that will take care of ALL the installation woes of the first kit. It'll be a piece of cake and it's a good bang-for-your-buck set up. Last I read, the release date for the revised kit is scheduled for sometime in March-Early April, at the latest.

VR Speed Factory is very legit.

Tiago is one of the nicest guys in the business and customer service is top notch!

We actually just updated the Contact Us section a few days ago

I highly recommend both the company ( I dealt with Tiago on here) and the kit. I was also able to retain my foglights.

 

[Dsmj89]

Not to mention that nice short-route piping and clean look at a good price.

How did you retain your fogs?

 

[tnl]

thanks for the info. i must opf tried to contact you guys at the wrong time.

as far as retaining fogs do you have any pictures? or quick tips?

 

[tnl]

oh ya mangina i was a little curios i see on your site that you now sell the intercooler separate along with piping separate. it also shows these both available and that the kit isnt available. so is there a typo somewhere or can i go buy the intercooler now?

I will do a write-up with pics showing this later this week. Basically, unbolt the the fogs from the stock location. Use a small bracket or two, and drill a hole on both ends of the brackets the same size of the screws. Then, attach one end of that bracket to the stock hole location on the foglight, and the other end to the hole for the screw that holds the foglight bezel in place. You should be good to go. basically, instead of having the foglight mounted "behind" the foglight bezel with light shining through, you are placing the foglight "inside" the bezel, thus clearing the intercooler pipe.

Very cool, definitely do a write up!
There's been a few people who "claimed" to have kept their fogs with this kit, glad to hear you've actually done it.

Is this possible with a 2ga?

Is there a write up for this or no?

I have their fmic kit. I am very happy with it. Their 2nd edition should be easy to install. I think the kit is missing a reducer though.
