And 1200 on a full set of 235+265 nitto invos. They have so much cornering grip even in the wet it's terrifying. I can fly around corners rated for 35k at 80 lol

>>17411462
Not a bad setup. How does the Kakimoto sound on that engine? I've got a system on my car. Quiet at idle but really screams otherwise. It's great.

Have a look into a Blitz Turbo Timer. Mines set to ten seconds but it will automatically run longer if it needs to. Works well and is easy to turn off if you have to.

Sounds really good, quite loud on idle actually. I plan to delete the cats and put in test pipes but apparently that makes it quiter lol
I don't even use the turbo timer, I just drive sedately before I get to my destination, and if I have to I'll sit in it and idle with the keys in no big deal

Not a whole lot done yet.

Breathing mods:
Takeda attack intake
Fast intentions resonated HFC

Suspension:
Tein Streets front and rear

Misc:
EcuTek 93 octane street tune
Pilot sports on all 4 corners

Most of this I pulled off of the old G.

I wanna do sways, meatier tires, in the near future along with other various restoration pieces like get the front bumper replaced or repainted. I just refinished the calipers today.

Gonna be a long road.

>>17411606
well, more of what i did was to the suspension, and that comes a lot cheaper than speedparts

my car is a rarity- because it's stage 3 and i daily it- but i set it up this way because of my use case - not to mention the former owner used it as his track day car- so a lot of the engine and suspension stuff was already done to it.

most people have less mods or buy two cars, but because of limited space in my driveway and crazy insurance in connecticut, i settled for an all in one. i'm a firefighter, so speed is helpful with response to calls, as is handling, but i needed something that could get me through the winter. a lifted truck might work better in the winter, but i would suffer on speed and handling- and a rwd sports car would be comfy but forget it for 5 months out of the year.

in total, i've spent about 7 grand on this car so far, including purchasing it, and i'll probably pay about another 1000 this month getting all of the emergency lights and siren in and configured- pic related.

i'm happier with it than i would have been with an off-the-shelf vehicle. it doesn't hurt that i can fly

Dynoed at 355whp with just the JB4 so it's probably around 400/400 with the new mods and an e35 mix.

The JB4 has Bluetooth too so I have a tablet with gauges for IATs, boost, oil/water temp, high/low pressure fuel pumps etc and I can read/clear codes since it's an N54 after all :^)

Next mods should be swaybars and a Quaife differential unless my turbos go out in which case I'm going Pure stage 2.

Not really a shitbox and not really modded yet.
All that's done are simple breather mods:
-Gifted Takeda short ram intake that prob does nothing. Looks kinda cool tho
-JET performance MAF
-Full 2 1/4 straight pipe for muh scavenging
And hopefully misc Dyno tune next wed/Thursday. Gotta go to the local shop and see what the process is. That's gonna be all until I get a new daily. At that point gonna buy cams for sure, possibly custom from comp or cams from a svt contour (depends on price and I know svt cams go on the 3l). Ported heads too - I don't really trust myself to do a home port so gonna have to mail the fuckers out. Can't realistically do anything with my exhaust manifold, can port upper and lower intake manifold though. Probably going to have to get high-comp heads, forged rods and such and have to do something about the transmission and suspension. Because I'm tasteless I want this obnoxious rake to the car like a stinkbug stance. It's gonna take a while but I really want it to happen

how hard to install was the lsd?

>>17411853
I considered boosting the car but since I'm a true Jap I think boost is a cop-out and it pollutes the driving experience. I'm only serious about the cop out bit. I genuinely feel like everyone just hacks a turbo kit nowadays and it's almost as overdone as ls swaps. I definitely want something different and a hi-rev N/A build is kinda rare now

>>17411877
I'm not sure, I didn't do most of the build. Bought it from a guy.

Oh yeah I forgot the battery was relocated to the frunk too.

There's a lot I'm forgetting

>>17411840
Completely fixes the torque dip. The car actually has a midrange now, but it also picked up power throughout the rev range.

>>17411880
wtf

>>17411879
Because boost is cheaper, will make more power, and be more reliable than a high revving NA motor. High revving being more than the factory redline.

>>17411891
wow now thats a hot intake. so does the car have any issues? it looks like it would heat soak like a mofo

>>17411879
i suppose that's true, if you do it wrong. however, they can create a whole new range of new power.

make your own decisions though- i would recommend hitting up a ford dealership and test driving a taurus sho just to get a feel for it. i was considering a ford five hundred but it made me want a turbo in my next car- hence subie

>>17411880
last dyno day with 105 octane the max i saw was 390 to the wheels, 410lb ft.

>>17411920
Considered meth injection?

>>17411892
My roomate got a BRZ (despite me recommending other cars) and is already irritated with the midrange. I told him to go with new headers, cat delete, and catback. Then get a tune. Hopefully that will get the job done for him.

>>17411901
Yeah, reliability shouldnt be an issue as it won't be my daily at that point, but in regards to price and power-yeah you are correct. I've driven boosted cars, though not a SHO like >>17411920 suggested and yeah it's breddy awesome, but im fucking retarded and don't understand a thing about forced induction and problems with it or how to do boost right. I might change my mind when I properly research everything, but right now everything is up in the air and I'm focusing on small things first.
TLDR: Good advice and I might follow it

>>17411905
I'm going to ahve to reroute the intake soon. I'm think about a snorkel and then piping the intake up to that.

Heat sink isn't too bad, the intercooler is pretty big and it does receive a good amount of air from the top vents. I think that a snorkel would only help that.

>>17411937
yeah, but not seriously considering it. i'm happy with the subie now, and for the next 100k it's just going to be maintenance until the motor detonates
>>17411953
there's no problem with lack of knowledge. go find the forum for your car, i assume there is one, and research what people do. the most documented practice is the one you should go with.

>>17411920
And I have my doubts any dealership will be dumb enough to let me in a SHO. I usually look homeless on my days off from work. I'll still try and finesse something tho

>>17411954
oh damn that sounds expensive to fix especially the 5th gear. i heard old toyota speedometer cables are impossible to find

>>17411937
Definitely do it man it's one of the best mods I've done. You feel much more in control of the car and the way it's pointing, especially for drifting.
It's a bit tiring to sit in for long drives. I have a daily so doesn't bother me but if you don't you might want to consider that.

>>17411967
Yeah, it's going to be expensive and take a long time. I don't even know if a speedo cable exists for something like this. I wonder if it would be easier just to convert gauge to electric. It drives in fifth fine, I just have to keep my hand on the shifter

The engine is OBD2 but the car is OBD1 so it's a fucking mess and there were some transmissions that had electric speed sensors and some had cables. But, the tachometer does work and that's probably the most important

A lot of it isn't too bad to do myself, it's just figuring out how the fucking thing works.

>>17411960
The closest thing I could find was a Taurus forum, some solid stuff there. I also tried finding speed parts and got to what seemed like a badass site until I found out all parts labeled "Ford v6" meant vulcan. And some of the more known builds for the Duratec 3 is boost, or SVT parts-that much I know. Definitely have to read more though

buy it. stock turbo is pretty good; spools fast. the 5 speed is eh, see if you can do a spec b 6 speed swap- which is really a bulletproof transmission.

i have the 5speed auto in mine, it's fine though

timing, seals, and corrosion are the things to look out for, but honestly, it's rare that they actually fail. subarus are more reliable than toyotas imo

I've never driven a G37 but I could imagine them being like a more luxurious 370z on twisty roads. If I could offer one piece of advice from my experience, mod your suspension carefully based on the roads in your area. When I first had mine installed (I don't know how to weld so I took it to a shop), I went crazy and had them adjust everything to the highest performance settings. Bad move. I went back maybe two days later and read the manual to adjust it myself to MUCH lighter settings because the any bump in the road would throw me all over the place as the suspension was so tight.

>>17412273
I got mine set very mildly, I made that exact mistake on my Mazda 6. Shit rattled me to pieces the first week. Some of our roads are beat up. Luckily KY maintains its to an acceptable degree, but OH GOD Ohio needs to get its shit together.

Got a misfire or no compression?

>>17412525
I'm scared to check. I pulled the spark plug wires one by one and it's cylinder 4 that's not working right, and there's a hole in the exhaust heat shield right below the spark plug for cylinder 4, so I'm hoping that the plug/wire just got hot and stopped working. It also looked pretty oxidized, so I'm just going to replace them all and hope for the best. I'm sure that it can use them.

It's also leaking a ton of coolant from the heater core so I'm going to block that off since I live in Florida and hope that fixes that problem.

>>17412537
No spark will def make a misfire. Hopefully it's just that. Would probably deal with that hole while you're down there too

>>17412559
That's the only reason I'm considering long tube headers because you have to pull the manifolds off to change the heat shield anyway so I might as well get some good ones.

The bushings feel awesome but they transmit A LOT of noise. I recommend them if you can handle it. I daily my car (when it runs) and it's fine for me.

I had a 325is before this one that got totaled in a hit and run and I sold the 3 spoke wheel out of it and I regret it so bad. It's a really nice wheel.
Luckily this car has sport seats, the comfort ones suck.

I have another LSD if you're interested :^) I actually just brought it home today

>>17412587

You just have to unplug the SRS wire under the dash. It's a blue one and it fixes cruise. My is was swapped to manual and I had to do that to make cruise work.

I pretty much drive my E30 to/from gym, for fun, track, and autox. Got other cars to dd now. I've had super stiff motor mounts in my FoST before and it was just mildly annoying. I can deal with it for the 2-3 hrs i drive to track np.

Where did you find your LSD? I see 2 in a junk yard near me but idk if it's for sure LSD because the cars are just 325i not the is. probably going to call the yard tomorrow.
I'd buy it if you were in tx and for a reasonable price lol

got a bitch tube o-ring leak I need to deal with soon. Just finished all new throttle cable and pedal bushings feels 10/10 right now

>>17411803
I'm a huge fan of 135s

>>17412665
Then yeah I'd recommend the poly bushings. The engine mounts are also supposed to be good, but you need to reinforce your front subframe if you install it because it can tear the subframe.

The LSD on the car was installed when I got it, and the one I posted the picture of was from my 325is. You can punch the vin of the cars at the junkyard into http://bimmer.work and it'll tell you if they were at least optioned with an LSD. I don't know how to check if it's been swapped, obviously. And yeah I'm pretty far from texas lol.

I want my car to be a daily that I can autox sometimes too, but right now it's neither of those things.

Little bit more to it than that anon.

>What is the state of his clear coat?
>Does he have access to a DA polisher?:

Not to mention some sort of visual instruction is a must.

Def not an expert but there's a lot to it.

>>17412808
Results will be just fine with good claybar preparation and the right application would be more than enough to brighten the paint and remove swirls. As long as his clearcoat isn't fucked there's no reason not to, just component it right the first time so that you thin it as little as possible

>>17412808

>preparation and the right application would be more than enough to brighten the paint

Sure, but judging just by looking it will need a decently heavy cut and polish if he wants it to be worth his time. My opinion though. I don't half ass my paint work.

>>17412835
Lets be realistic here, nobody wants to fork over 500 bucks for a paint correction when taking your time with foam pads by hand get you great results without burning up the clearcoat by machine like most people would without enough experience (me included).

>>17412638
neat, would look better without the emblem on the grill

>>17412850
Not machine polishing with a DA Orbital polisher these days is senseless.

>burn through paint
DA Orbitals physically can't burn through paint bc they have a clutch mechanism.

>$500
A Porter Cable 7424XP is $120 and will last forever. You won't spend over $300 in polishes and compounds.

If you're gonna polish get a machine polisher and do it right.

Dont have to spend that much.

I have a Makita DA polisher I got for 75 bucks, Meguiar,s M205 (pretty safe), and some Meguiar's ultimate polish. Few different pads will run you 25 doll hairs. All-in-all maybe $150 in with a few afternoons to teach yourself. Its pretty easy tbqh fampai.

I remember some aussie with a red ute that had a friend that told him the same (can't mess up the paint with this machine), poor fucker burned up his clearcoat. Maybe you're right but it's intimidating especially for people that have never waxed a car in their life. Foam pads have brought my STI's shitty thin paint back to life, when looking in any angles there is no swirls or clouding in the paint it's literally flawless aside from the few tiny rockchips. I just don't see a point in switching to machine. I don't mind the extra work and the results are more than satisfactory, I'm not good with pictures but I'll take some better ones soon

Not saying you can't do it by hand, but a dual action polisher will give you three important things:
1. consistency
2. cut your time down
3. control

Horror stories of people burning through paint come from rotary tools. Rotary=/=DA polisher

>>17412914
I know you're right, would get the job done alot quicker and efficiently but I don't mind the extra labor I take my time with a consistency on each panel/part at a time. Don't think it would be an impressive difference from where the car is now. I always keep a layer of sealant so I can avoiding cutting through the clearcoat as little as possible in any event

I'd imagine it's higher maintenance but ALOT easier seeing the wax left over instead of a white car, people say using artificial light helps alot spotting it not sure.

Black paint isn't so bad once it's in 90% factory condition or better. Once it is good, keep sealant and a decent wax on it and washing it is a breeze. And yes you'll see leftover wax.... and dust and waterspots and swirls.... It's pretty unforgiving. Payoff is worth it though. Clean black paint is like a tuxedo for your car.

I can't complain, they seem to be very high quality, only comparison I have is these other (standard) TE37s I had that in a 17"

But the car was stock then and I only had them for a few months. So I can't tell you much man.

>>17414250
All good. Thanks anyway though. I'm split on 17" TE37SL in black like yours or 17" TE37 in a dark grey. I think the SLs would look better but they cost pretty much the same here and if the standard model is noticeably higher quality...

I'll keep researching I guess. I have 17" OZ Racing Superturismos at the moment so I'm not really rushed to get wheels.

Ayy I was waiting to see another ST.

>>17416982
How do you like the Pierce braces? The chassis feels pretty stiff to me stock, I feel like that much bracing is just going to make the handling more skittish, increase weight, and create a rollover risk. That's just going off things I've read though. Nice ST.

Lower hot-side charge pipe is the tighest bottleneck along with the stock turbo, worth replacing.

>>17416109

funny that you talk about the reliability of keeping an sti stock when the stock tune on the ecu runs leans and leads to detonation and ringland failure. Enjoy the rebuild though

It's the best-sounding mx-5 I've ever heard, despite the intake, test-pipe, and catback being ebay knockoffs (see video below). I've had all 3 of those parts installed since 2010 and they're showing no signs of rust of corrosion. Also, the intake pipe was under $60, the resonated test-pipe was $50, and the catback was $120. IDGAF whether they say "HKS" or "Tsudo" if they sound so good and hold up so well.

I'm not happy about the shitty tires - I just graduated with my bachelors last month and I'm still on the job hunt but I'm poor as fuck right now. On the plus side, having super-shitty tires in the rear means I can hold slides all the way through corners at a mere 20 mph which is pretty fucking fun.

What do you drive, anon? A brand-new GT-R with all GReddy parts and a 24k gold-plated engine? (Didn't think so.)

I have a 70s car with 60k miles lol. Every part is OE or a respected tuning company. If I couldn't afford the car I wouldn't buy it, the same logic applies here. If I couldn't afford to do it well I wouldn't do it.

Oh man you really got me there, how can I ever recover?

I also recently acquired the Jeep in pic related. it's a 2004 GC Limited with 4.7L V8 and Quadra-drive and 121k miles. it needs the rockers as well as the exhaust replaced due to ungodly amounts of rust but I'm hoping to get that taken care of in the next month and then I want to do some audio upgrades and start daily driving the Jeep to keep the miles off of my F150.

I've been scanning around for an F150 Ecoboost engine with a good crank and ultimately I want to build a shortblock for the truck with slightly higher compression, have some manifolds made and run something like a pair of GT30Rs with a higher hotside. the Ecoboost engines are really torquey but fall on their face in the higher RPMs and I'm hoping a mid-sized turbo with a bigger hotside would remedy that. I'd really like to see 600-650 whp.

I really don't care about your brand-whoring, nor how little you drive the car to keep some number low. The parts I installed all work just as well as the fancy name-brand parts because they're just fucking sections of aluminum and steel piping.

I've driven the fucking piss out of this car for the last nine years and it's been very good to me. I actually like it more now than I did when I first got it in '08.

It's ok to enjoy things that are bad. I drink that orange juice with bits, but the rubbish one that's from concentrate. I don't then go on the internet to boast that I drink shit orange juice and argue with people who have a fridge full of Tropicana that shit is good because it doesn't benefit either of us. You're in a good orange juice thread and don't have an interest in shit orange juice. I genuinely enjoy the orange juice so I don't require your approval or kudos and I know that shit orange juice has nothing to do with what's discussed in a good orange juice thread. My car (which is my daily lol) isn't currently in a state where I'd have it on display with a mod list like it was some sort of $30 max budget race car as you've done, despite it being much, much, much better than yours, because no one would be interested in my half finished car (in the same way that no one cares about your pretty much stock 230k mile scrap heap candidate)

So, let's use my intake as an example.

Racing beat sells theirs for $240, but you can buy it elsewhere for $200. I got a knockoff for $60.

They're both cast aluminum with the same dimensions. While I do feel bad about not supporting the company that designed it, I'm not going to believe that mine is somehow objectively worse at flowing air.

>"I only buy Dolche & Gabana, Prada, and Gucci. I wear them once or twice and take hundreds of selfies when I do. I only wear Dockers to work though, to keep my real clothes pristine."

This is what you sound like.

You still haven't shown me your car...

>can't spell Dolce
The knock off garbage and cheap end-of-life car makes much more sense now. Do you have a Patreon or similar or is your begging and pan handling entirely in person

>>17422468
>autism, the post

I have a bmw s1000rr, it has the 12$ ebay shortie levers on a 15k bike, just like probably 50% of other sportbikes out there because aluminum is aluminum.

You mad?

So... You don't have a car?

BTW, just to wave my dick around: I just graduated last month with a mechanical engineering degree and a computer science degree.

Honestly, I pity you.

You're so jelly that I actually love my cheap car that youve spent the last hour refreshing this thread to claim that my car is "shit" because I didn't go into debt to buy, restore, and mod it.

You might get laid someday, anon... someday.

>>17414882
What car do you mean when you say "mine?" I assume you don't mean an FD since they all had stock twins out of the factory.
