Tial 44mm MV-S Wastegate


Mishimoto Front Mount Intercooler mock-up. (Brackets finished, etc.)


Updates so far.

 

Should get a video up lol

 

Heh, no point since the car isn't running, yet.

I'm still waiting on the AEM EMS2 and patch harness from World Racing. For now, Speed Industry will just break the car in with the AEM FIC that I'm already running.

 

True that well than after! Lol so excited to see how it all turned out for you man.

 

I will definitely put video up when the car is up and running. Milan Dragway opens up next week, as well. So, I'll most likely have video of a 1/4 mile time when the car is properly broken in and tuned.

 

That's a pretty big IC..what HP is that rated too?

Rated @32 Psi
I'm not sure what the power rating is. I looked at a Vibrant Universal Intercooler with the same core dimensions and construction and it was rated for 550.

 

Just guessing by that rating. Its probably good for 600+. I know the IC I have is about your size and rated about about 600-700...nice to have wiggle room for future power upgrades. Good stuff man

Dude that FMIC look effing mean!!!

 

do you mind me asking where you got your clutch from and what you paid also did you install it or have someone else install...

 

I heard from talt2008 that you have had greddy rs exhaust and the decendant exhaust, which exhaust do you think is better? Haven't seen a lot of people with the greddy exhaust.

 

Just responded to that thread. I couldn't really say which is better. It all really depends what you want. If you want an aggressive looking, deep, loud exhaust, go with the GReddy. Mind you if you are running an NA setup, you will most likely feel a loss in power because of the larger diameter piping.

If you want a sleeper looking exhaust with an aggressive, sporty sound to it, go with the Descendant.

For the price point, the GReddy really isn't worth the money for an NA build. For the same price, I could probably have a custom 3" exhaust made from Vibrant pieces.

In the end, if you're going to stay away from forced induction, the Descendant will probably benefit you the most, in terms of power.

 

Update us on your progress man! I'm dying over here lol!

 

Heh, yeah. Problems. There was a coolant leak from the cylinder head after my guys ran it for about 15 minutes. They pulled the engine out again and sent it back to World Racing, since the labor is under their warranty. It easily tacked on another 2 months until I can even put break-in miles on it. I'm frustrated.

I bought a daily driver that I will sell after I get my car back. 2001 Nissan Xterra.

 

2 months! Wow atleast you have a backup car. Hopefully it all get taken care of because I cant wait to see this bad boy run!

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear that.

 

Engine is back @ Speed Industry. They will probably start working on it Friday or the following Monday.

In the meantime, I got some Vinyl Wrap and a Grillcraft lower grill for the front bumper.
Hopefully, it will keep the intercooler somewhat hidden after everything is assembled.



Phone pic, so bear with it.

 

That's a nice looking grill! Do they make inserts that match for the upper grill and fog lights holes? I think you are going to have to find some kind of paint that does not hinder cooling to make that big **** shiny intercooler stealthy.

 

They do. I have the fog light hole grills, as well. But, I'm going to wait until everything is installed so I can compare the look.

 

Go for it, throw them alll in. The plastic stock grills keep looking cheesier to me, especially after seeing that grill. It looks much better than the avg. fig grill.
