I just changed to the Cosworth intake plenum. It's inlet is about the same size as the TB so I don't see how this can really help a forced induction application without boring out the plenum as well. Otherwise it is a big bottleneck.

 

That's good. How much did you pay? I been looking for one too. How much did the car gain? Any pics?

There was a an ad for a used one under $600 not too long ago locally here. I missed it.

 

sexy a** ride bro. love it.
i have a project car im trying to piece together
(04 sedan) and i was wondering where i might
be able to find one of those front bumpers and for
how much??

 

Thanks.

They were named Kurookie and unfortunately they were a limited run which all were sold. I have a spare black one with some dings that I used for a while in my garage and have been thinking about selling it.

 

I got mine new from Injected performance. If you can find one used for $600 that is an amazing deal and you better jump on it. Most I see sell for at least $800 used.

So far it has not been re-tuned, need to get down there and do that.

Pics will come soon, just haven't had time to get any.

 

Hey Tim,

Did you do your headlights yourself? I just picked up a pair of headlights for my 03 and would love to do a projector retrofit

 

Yeah I did. The first time around I did the S2k's and then went back in to do the TL's. Overall I've had them open at least 10 times to make improvements, repaint, etc...

 

PM MartyG35 for the KuRookie bumper. He can get you one.

 

Do you have a DIY on how you did it? I'd like to tackle the challenge sometime!

 

do you think you can hit about 200mph or more if speed limiter is taken off?

the G-POWER M5 is 750hp not whp it has a top speed of 228.4 mph
you should try to beat the worlds fast sedan speed

 

200mph is a tall order. Bam Bam tried it over on my350z a couple years ago and he had a stroked twin turbo with custom aero parts and couldn't break 183

 

Thanks Marcus, I forgot about Marty.

 

I highly doubt my car could get close to 200mph. It does not have the right aero. If I did a good rear diffuser, better front and rear wings, and underpan I might be able to get close but I have no desire to go that far. My car is my daily driver and is fun as-is.

 

Sorry, no I don't. I looked around on the net, HID Planet and talked to some guys on here. Once you open them up, you'll understand. It's not hard but takes a lot of time. IMO anyone can do it, you just have to be patient and don't rush anything.

 

That's because he did the standing mile. He reached 183 in 1 mile. Wasn't going for top speed.

If an AWD Ford Sierra that's looks like a wooden box on wheels can reach 200+ I see no reason a G sedan cant. At least a G sedan spent actual time in a wind tunnel.
I think you're too doubtful. A stock exterior one should have no problem passing 200+mph at least with the Aero package, a reinforced lower engine cover and a proper final drive. If I had your car I would try it. Look at the SP and IP 350z they pass the 1/4 at 170+mph. Imagine what they would do in 1 mile.

If I'm lucky enough I'll get to the point where I can try it. I need 20" wheels, a final drive, good tires, a built motor and an SP TT kit running a Haltech or ProEFI but I'm not sure ProEFI controls the variable valve timing on the Revup.
