UPDATE....PICS ON PAGE 3,4,5,7,8,9
So as many of you know I'm going over to the darkside . Well in two weeks my apointment for my installation and tune of my tubo kit and built shortblock kit is going down. So my mods are

Thermal coated Arias pistons (8.5:1, .02 over)
Eagle Rods
ARP L19 head studs
HKS Head gaskets
Nissan Pathfinder cooling mod
CJM Stage 1 Fuel Return
Greddy E-manage Ultimate
Turbonetics Kit
Open Dump
JIC Magic Spartan DE Titanium Exhaust
Alphawerks Headers

I already have my JWTclutch installed along with a few other things such as the Hyper Sun grounding and voltage kits. My goal for whp is going to be between 450hp and 500hp which is very possible on this setup. So we will see the results once everything is done. Wish me luck! And yes I know I could do twins and get much more out of it but I want to stay conservative for a while

 

with this setup, 450 should not be a problem...

I have built motor 11:1 compression, with twins and on 9 lbs I put down 450.... injectors are maxed out... make sure you get decent size injectors.... 500CC probably won't be enough.. good luck!

 

Looks good and you should see your power goals easily.

 

congrats Erik...can't wait to see it in April

 

why 11:1?

 

wow... Cant wait to check out your car in April.
Would you be offering rides with your Turbonetics G? hehe

 

He originally was going all na untill o good deal on a JWT setup came up locally.

 

Congrats! Lots of pics pleez!

:-)

 

Thanks for the inspiration guys. There will be lots of pics and video clips. I've had quite a few FI'd 4 bangers (Civics and Tegs) but the VQ was a new breed to me so I had to do some extensive research and look at the pros and cons. I could've easily boosted my G when I first got it but opted to wait to avoid problems later on down the road. I read countless numbers of "Uh OH I Think Something is Fawked Up Due To FI" threads and set it in my mind that there would be no boost before building.

 

ahh makes sense, still surprised he isnt getting head lift w/ such a high compression

 

Very nice Eric. I am kinda jealous. You, Dave, Ben, etc have FI'd cars now.

I'll need a ride plz.

 

^Come on Razi come joine the fun. Has the wife found out about the exhaust yet?

 

congrats man, thats going to be a blast to drive now. im starting to read alot about boosting, bc i want to go FI soon too..

 

She was in the car the other day.. and she was like " why is it soo loud?"

Eventually I told her about it. She wants me to sell the car by june

 

^ What?

BUMP for an update Erik
