Some pics of the paint I chose for the faces...new setup is going to be 19x8.5 +32 (most likely going to run a 10mm spacer so +22) and 19x9.5 +19 (after swapping out the 3" lip for a 4" lip). I think this is going to look sick with the gold rivets and hyper polished lips.
Got the car back, and jesus does it drone! lmao
Need to put a muffler back on asap lol
Haha damn, gonna run dual mufflers right? I just got word back from the shop and my fuel injectors are SHOT so just ordered a new set. Gonna install along with new gaskets when we adjust my flange and hopefully this will be the last time having to go through this headache (knock on wood)
I was originally but I'm going to save some weight and install the magnaflow 12468 piece where the secondaries are, then dual pipes to quad exhaust.
If its still still crazy perhaps in the future, just run some cheap mufflers but I think the 12468 should be enough right?
Yeah it'll defnitely help, I ran it with no secondaries and no muffler just put it where the resonator was and it reduced drone a lot. Just ordered the magnaflow 14419 (3" inlet/outlet) today to help quiet it down a bit, we'll see how well it works next weekend
Sorry it's blurry but we took the injectors out and saw that most of the o rings were fouled. Should have the new ones along with the plugs in by tonight
Yeah, swapped in the new plugs and injectors...having a misfire on the left side somehow gonna run some more diagnostics over the weekend and call eurocharged on Monday to see if something in the ecu tune is throwing the timing off
I was going to use either the NGK or denso but now there is 3rd option.
Yeah they were recommended by a few shops and the results have been good. Waiting on the ecu from eurocharged and I'll give you an update on what happens
Thanks the rivets were old and corroded so they gave me a brand new titanium set, still trying to find a gold set tho. I have the 65mm pulley, bought the stage 1 package from eurocharged.
Car's at DriveAutoWorks, they got the ecu back from eurocharged and car ran fine for 20min then had a misfire in cylinder 3. They said the passenger side bank of the engine block is saturated in oil so they're gonna clean the valve covers and replace the coil packs, gaskets, etc. Hopefully this will finally solve this misfire problem. If all goes well she'll be coming home Monday. Been dying to take her to the strip and see what she can do!!
Ugh this is really becoming a nightmare!!! Car seemed to be fine when leaving the shop but the misfire came back for open injector circuit on cylinder 3 and injector 4 so we're going to go back to the stock injectors and retune the ecu for just the sc pulley and the headers. Hoping this will be the last step in getting the car back to normal and it's not the wiring harness. Has anyone come across this problem before when upgrading injectors?
Assuming something wrong with ECU/refile, during to fuel map circuit,
i think those injectors are "543cc", if so, you going from "396cc">>>"543cc", do you do anything to boost more air..??
ZAYED,,
Yeah I was also thinking it's a file issue too because it never ran bad before I tried tuning the ECU. I'm going to go back to stock injectors x ECU and get a custom dyno tune.

Thanks!! Can't wait to see what they look like!!
