Forged Performance: rcdash's twin turbo G35
850bb, yes Mike, true, if you want to see mid 500's on Sharif's dyno on pump, in a 5AT.
If it helps Mike unload those 850's before I get tempted, please go right ahead! LOL.

Thanks Mike. Forged actually had to modify the STB to get the JWT TT piping to fit without rubbing. I must've had an early version. There is still actually one spot on the charge pipe that I had to pad with rubber to prevent metal-metal contact under load. And FP didn't charge me a dime for the custom work. Sharif said it was part of the standard clearancing for their twin turbo install. So in a way, they've paid for it too.
J/k
rc.. Question for you...what gauge did you get for tranny temp? I couldn't figure it out from your mod list. I need a tranny temp gauge. Also, what range should your tranny be in? What is too hot?

I will PM info to you...
Well I have a full innovate logging set up, so I can take any sensor off the shelf (read cheap), plug it in, put in the calibration curve, and have it show up in my A pillar. Pretty cool, eh? The actual sensor I believe is an ATM-2258. I have the calibration curve if you need it. It should work with most autometer gauges in standalone fashion and is relatively inexpensive ($20 for the sensor from Summit Racing I think).

EDIT: I just googled that part number and at summit it says it works for autometer...hmmm

With that gauge would that just straight up work for tranny temp? Nothing else required?
I have DEFI Blue Racer gauges, so if I bought a temp gauge with that sensor on it, it would work right? I would just buy an oil temp gauge and that sensor you mentioned?

Cool thanks. Honestly, I have no idea what you mean by it changes the resistance values and how/why the gauge has to be calibrated lol...
Very nice writeup. I hate reading long posts but this one was very informative. Your car is very nice and as Tony said, no shortcuts were taken. Good job on a well thought out plan.
LOL. The bottom line is that if the gauge and sensor aren't designed for each other, the readings will be off.
I can understand your comment. I have nothing against Scott and I stated in the post that this was Scott's STB. He helped me get that thing installed - very good customer service. That bar is a great design, bracing the front of the car across two planes. Kudos to Scott on that. I have a review posted on this site with a very positive review - check it out.
I don't want to start any drama. The bar had a VRT sticker on there and I wanted it off. I asked Scott for a Relentless Autosport decal to cover the "VRT" left behind. It never came and over a year passed. When I was building the motor, I asked Sharif to please put their logo on it and if that didn't cover the VRT, get it re-powdercoated or painted. ForgedPerformance has done a ton of custom work in that engine bay. They deserve that spot. This is their build. Hope you can understand. Peace.

Anyways, you have a very complete car there, probably one of the most compatent 5AT's around.
In regards to the question, typical builds on Sharif's dyno that are 6MT but otherwise identical net almost exactly 500 whp. I'm at 475. So that's looks like an additional 5% drivetrain loss. I make up for it with my rear differential final gear ratio. It's 6% higher than stock. Few folks realize that gearing has no effect on dyno results as dynos take it into consideration (by monitoring speed over time), but it makes a big difference on the road.

Here is the way I look at it....not only am I an on line friend of Raj...I am also a personnel friend that knows him in person....If I don't have the right to tell him he should add more Forged Performance stickers...where the hell do you get the right from to tell him where he should or should not put a sticker
Sorry RAJ....I tried to hold back...Sorry !!
