So since the motor needs replacing I'm going to spend the next week or two polishing the entire kit. The kit I got came in satin and the previous owner spray painted the piping black which is coming off and is scratched in a few places.

I already took the time to replace the 3.12 pulley with the 2.62 pulley. Also replaced the SC trim impeller with the 928 Motorsports V+ impeller. The 28 tooth cog pulley on the blower was a little worn out so I replaced it with a new one as well.

I'll post pics of the kit all polished up as soon as I'm finished doing it. Comparing the stock impeller to the V+ impeller in person its REAL easy to see the way its going to be beneficial higher in the RPMs once I get it on the dyno.

I'm going to get new clamps and stuff for the kit too just to make sure there are no issues with connecting the piping and such during the install.

 

Build looks great but why the X02? If i were you i'd spend the extra money on an HKS if thats the sound your going for or build yourself a custom exhaust. Just a thought.

 

I went with the X02 exhaust because i didnt have to pay for it. i'll upgrade the exhaust at a later time. I've already touched bases with Fast Intentions about custom headers and a full exhaust system.

Thanks for posting

 

Congrats! Cant wait to see it in person.

 

sorry to hear that bro, question why were u in DC my neck of the woods?

 

man oh man i wish i could get a SC!!!

 

u should lose the ssv manifold those things are junk

 

I had a customer I did a set of custom LED headlights for that lives in the area so I stopped by to see him for awhile. The trip was initially for me to pickup my vortech kit and a set of fuel injectors but since I was in the area I figured why not stop in and say wassup

 

SSV manifold is only junk to people with non-revup motors that don't get a tune after putting it on.

I have a revup motor and got a tune after the install and saw gains

Thanks for the comment

 

Custom headlights? more info please if you will.

 

PM sent to avoid thread getting off topic. If you have any further questions about my headlight work reply to the PM I sent you

Thanks

 

so was the motor under warranty? are they still diagnosing what went wrong or are they replacing the motor as we speak?

 

Motor is under a 70k mile warranty and the car itself is under a basic warranty until May 19th 2009. I'm currently at the dealership dropping the car off to them. Because of the warranty they'll put me in a loaner vehicle until my motor is replaced.

 

Congrats on the new motor and boost

 

Thanks for the well wishes
