6 speed is workin great, it actually made a difference in the 1320, raised the mph.

[mitchep3typer]

Sounds mean at idle!

[willy_akino]

[&REY]

Very clean car, love the custom intake. Did you run 1/4 mile with this setup?

[FoReVaPmP]

[1GR8EP3]

hahaha... dont sell it, you have get a dead blow hammer and lightly tap it on, I know becouse mine was a tight fit also. Be patient eventually it will make its way on.


Sounds mean at idle!
Thanks mitch... you should hear it with open header haha

Yeah i have been out once with it and she did a 14.2 @ 102mph and the 60ft was a 2.3, pretty crappy... I would def like to hit up the track again but on slicks next time. They are the depo projectors and there close to the ctr's, but the ctr's are always made better and they have the honey comb on the blinkers.


Fawkin SICK!!!!.. Love it! :msmile:
Thanks bro

[Jukka]

sooooooo tempted to do a v-tec killer setup now. Very very sick car man.

It works haha... but it did take a little time making sure everything was right. I had the 02 exhaust rockers and it took a little more shaving for them to clear the lobes. The credit goes to dkid, without his thread i wouldnt have went with this budget power route. Thanks for compliment.

[siep3]

sick! mph needle goes up so fast.

[1GR8EP3]

sick! mph needle goes up so fast.
Thanks... but she needs boost again

[dkid15]

Yeah i should post up my thread on here again. Glad to see its running well man!

[dkid15]

How close to being maxxed out are those injectors? Are those just left over from the old turbo build? I want to run type-s 310cc's...

[Kerby]

I like it. simple and clean.

[1GR8EP3]

yeah bro you should def post it again, it helped me alot when I was going through it. The info you posted along with Ba82 was very useful.

I wouldnt run 310's you would max them out, if you want to keep it oem go with some rdx 410's then get some scion tc clips to make them work. Im using rc 550's and there no where near to being maxed out. I traded a buddy who is going boost and wanted some bigger injectors, so we did a swap with a lil cash on his end.


I like it. simple and clean.
Thanks bro, I try not to over do it. I had another decal on the back hatch and ended up removing it because to me it was just to much.

[codyep3]

hahaha... dont sell it, you have get a dead blow hammer and lightly tap it on, I know becouse mine was a tight fit also. Be patient eventually it will make its way on.




i have tried "lightly" tapping it with a mallet/cloth protection, the thing isnt even close to being aligned

[Heitzke]

I'm still using 310cc on mine. I maxed them out while tuning, but only because the map was stupid rich. With it leaned up a bit they were fine under WOT but its still close.

[cronicEP]

ooooo...that shit is sexy!

[1GR8EP3]

Thanks cronic

[dkid15]

Hmmm hopefully my higher compression and RBC doesnt push me over the top. Well worst comes to worst ill have to buy some 550's.

[shadowmd]

[1GR8EP3]

Hmmm hopefully my higher compression and RBC doesnt push me over the top. Well worst comes to worst ill have to buy some 550's.I would just get them instead of paying for a double tune... on the dyno and realize there to small, or you can mod your 310's


very nice! runs good!
Thanks shadow, hows the wrx? anything new to it?

Nice car budd, really digging the rims. Quick question for you, what Summit racing Battery Relocate system are you running?? I'm trying to look for it right now, but i cant seem to find it.

[johnkimble]

[monjarassi]

Thank you, very few people catch the painted neuspeed strut bar so good eye.


Nice vid.. Who u ran again??
Thanks... that was my buddy D who has a 70' Dart swinger, now he has cutouts and wants to run again. so another vid might be in the works again haha.

just some fyi fellas if you do plan on relocating your battery you have to have a killswitch because they wont let you run at any legit event at the dragstrip. So I might be moving it from the back to the passenger fender well.

[1GR8EP3]

[1GR8EP3]

The bracket for the front is custom made. A good friend of mine welded one up for me, so now the battery sits in front of the passenger wheel. Also because im now using a full 3inch cai I had to move my fuse box back to the top, I will take pics of how it is soon.

I ordered the summit relocation kit and ran the wires through the front fender and through the inside of the car. Check with your local drag strips because some places require a kill switch.
