Going under the knife ... finally!!

Hi folks .. I have been enjoying my car for 9 months now and got the itch .. I will be installing the following:

185mm Pulley upgrade
Heat Exchanger & Meziere pump
52 lb Injectors
Fuel rail
Headers
82mm Throttlebody and snout
Tune (of course)
Toilet paper holder

Left out the names of the places I got the stuff from cos I don't want to start any arguments on this vendor or that vendor ... not my intent here but did buy from one of the better known guys! I'll post when I get RESULTS!

Lot's of smart folks here ... so I wanted to ask to see if there is anything else I should do while I am in there? Don't want too get to crazy and don't want the car to be down for too long ... so no head work etc ... Thoughts?

Egads!!

Nothing like jumping right into the deep end of the performance pool!!!

That should make absolutely rediculous power, and doing it all at once is probably going to be a real shock to drive......like, OhMyGod sideways burnout wet-your-pants type experience!


Install pics, before & after dyno results, etc. will be required.

Your worst nightmare...
Get ready for a complete and beastly awakening on the car. That is a heavy list. Let us know how she runs.

Can't wait to read your write up after first ride. You are gonna freak! I think you should throw in a Quaife lsd while at it. Had a few axles twist at the track with higher hp non LSDrs. Expect a lot of triangle without it.

Holy crap batman! It is going to be such a huge difference from stock. What about an airbox as well as an LSD? Maybe the trunk mounted reservoir would serve you well also.

I will say, the toilet paper holder is going to put your car over the top.

Since the blower will be off anyways, might as well do it right. Hell, I would probably add a meth kit, perfect time to drill holes for the nozzles.

What ever happened to the "Killer Chiller" product for our cars?

It was looking like a really good method for reducing IATs but the threads about it seemed to just fade away without any final product offered.

I contacted the vendor a couple weeks ago, MBTEK. They are available, but you're right, I haven't seen much info on it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I knew I came to the right place. A lot of good ideas ... It all started with just wanting a pulley upgrade ... which needs cooling upgrade ... and the pulley was too big so need injector upgrade and might as well do the TB upgrade since everything is out and needs to breathe better, so then should get headers too LOL ... Endless stuff! I will likely get the Quaife LSD, it made a big difference in my Maxima especially with Torque steer .. guess I may have rear end torque steer if I don't get it LOL ... not sure about the meth stuff yet. It's never ending! But thanks to everyone ... I was going to post some pics up ... but as I started putting stuff together I realized some pieces are in different places. I really need to do a premod Dyno too ... never got round to doing that! Been messing with stupid other issues like Airmatic BS

@V12Godspeed - Isn't going to be anywhere near yours I am sure but it'll be fun! One of these years I will do a V8 or V12 TT swap .. just not right now!

You get my emails & pm about the bad pulley you traded me? You need to make it right


Sorry to hijack but this guy hasn't responded to any of my communicated efforts.
