And bring pizza lol

 

just picked up an k&n drop in. gonna throw it in later

 

had black roof overlay installed...looking sick..car needs to be washed bad..hella dirty... question for the other guys on here...have you or do you know anybody personally that has installed an underdrive pulley on a VQ engine...any problems after running the pulley for a while...Most shops i've talked with are against doing it because of the harmonic balancing with the stock pulley..Jun at Intec said they don't install the pulleys either...just trying to get some feedback before i decide whether i should do this mod or not.

 

Don't do the UD pulleys. Not worth it for the minimal gains you may see, and there have been a few cases of it actually damaging motors. There's like a 20 page thread discussing it over on my350z

 

SUUUKKKHHH!!!! HE LIVES!

Can't wait to see the new setup bro...when you gonna be in Sea-town again? jeez love for Spokane and not here now huh? haha

I also had a set of UD pullies on my H22A4 (baaaaaaack in da day) and they were garbage, actually lost power until near redline etc so bah on em...money is better spent elsewhere IMO

 

Seymore4 thank u for the feedback, that is why i asked...much appreciated...Phoenix try Cedar's on brooklyn in the U-dist...awesome indian food..i can vouch cuz i am indian..lol..and SSSSHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKK..yeah i live bro..sorry man..was on the honeymoon with the wife..just got back ten days ago...busy as hell out here..going to spokane this coming up weekend...when you guys rolling up...might be in sea-town in a cpl of weeks..i'll let you know...nother question for you guys...i have CAI,plenum,exhaust and uprev...besides headers and HFC and internals...what else is left for gains..and i want to stay N/A...and are headers worth it on a DE motor...shoulda bought an 05 with the rev-up......

 

If you want to stay NA pretty much the only thing left is headers and HFC, then a retune.
Headers will help with gains up top, and the HFC are just awesome all around.

Unless you want to drop the motor and rip it apart to do internals... but that's really not cost effective lol

But if you DO want to do internals I can get you a killer deal on some cosworth 11:1 NA pistons!

 

HAHAHA, I thought the headers for our cars were pretty weak gains Pretty tho and as for HFC's...has anyone successfully installed them without introducing rasp into the equation?

Sukh, just say the word bro...when you're here I'm there...yea haha And congrats to you and the wifey! S'bout time tee hee

 

Yeah honestly headers aren't worth the $ for the minimal gains IMO, but HFC's are definitely a good idea. You won't have much rasp until you get into straight test pipes, and they'll make your exhaust sound a lot more throaty. I bought them before my cat-back, and then had HFC & cat-back and it sounded awesome.

Another option that would be absolutely baller is long tube headers... not sure where you can get them from tho.

 

cool bro will have to give them a try next

 

I washed it happy Joe
