Glad to see the car is running well Bassam. I thought for sure the oil leak would have been from the APS pan...prone to leaking...mine did. Did not expect the leak from the oil return line. I guess that comes with the territory of being FI. Let m know if you make it down to SoCal anytime soon!

 

Yeah the oil pan drain plug is not completely sealed. But its not enough to actually drip on my garage floor (yet!). I've read that the threads strip very easily on the APS pans so im being very careful with it.



I've been meaning to give an update on the clutch pedal issue. So far everything seems to be working great. Stop and go traffic in the heat is no longer an issue, and we had a couple of days that were extremely hot here!

 

Hey guys. I was in the Targa Trophy event LA to Vegas last weekend and just wanted to share a few pics. The event was very well put together and organized. Fee to participate was reasonable as well.

Friday evening drove down to LA to rest up and stay the night there. The lighting at gas stations always seems to be picture friendly


Saturday morning drove to meeting point for the rally and saw some very nice rides. The theme for the event was "JDM vs Euro" Lots of GTRs, Porsches, BMWs, Mercs, and a few Lambos and Ferraris. Some Vinyl from the sponsors of the event was provided to each driver.


My buddy Houava took this rolling shot of the G. Not bad since he's only had the camera a few days


After arriving at Vegas and checking in at the Palms. All the participants in the event drove to Las Vegas Speedway for Formula Drift. We had our own VIP parking/seating area which was very cool




After Formula D entrance into club Rain at the Palms was also included.


One last pic of the G


Cheers!

 

Looks fun bro and thanks for sharing !!!

 

Nice Bassam!!! Just curious did you do any friendly freeway pulls with some of the exotics on the way to Vegas?

 

Let's just say there was a few unsuspecting drivers out there. All in good fun of course

 

Unsuspecting as in "holy crap- that's not stock?" from guys in cars that didn't kick your @ss the way they thought they would?

Loved that engine... Always wondered how it would pull by comparison to just the built shorty.

 

Nice!!!! Its always nice to see that WTF look on their face! I loved it when that happened in my G. Glad you are enjoying the car Bassam!

 

 

 

Very nice project. Good looking shots too.

 

Thanks! Those shots were taken by my brother. It was his first time taking any rolling shots. He's gonna make some adjustments and hopefully will have some better ones to share with you guys.

I've got some upgraded injectors and a 2nd wideband O2 getting ready to go in soon. Stay tuned for the results

 

I'm so glad you are putting that motor to use lol

 

APS extreme fuel kit supplied injectors (blue)...Upgrade injectors (red)


As others have said the GT MAF will max out at 600whp. It was reading 4.9v at these power levels. I need to think about what direction I will go in next...

 

What size injectors did you get? You can upgrade to the GTM MAF, it can support much more air flow. This is what I have on my car. How much boost are you running in that last graph?
