Dang, you guys are progressing quickly! Keep up the good work gents

[4g63lover]

I just read your thread from beginning to end. I didnt expect to sit in front of my computer for a couple hours today....




My V6 is my daily.... My V6 is my daily......

[M-Rod]

Wellll, if you ever get the V6 mod bug, don't hesitate to find me if you need anything, whether it may be spare parts or any information.

[2002BlackDragon]

Ok... subscribing to this so I can get on board with the V6 bug. I new what I was gonna do to my 2.4 but this one is completely different. I'm thinking manual swap first.

[M-Rod]

^ The manual swap, imo, is the place to start once maintenance is up to date. From there, everything else done becomes that much more noticeable because of the reduced drivetrain loss.

[6G72gearhead]

This platform was plagued by the automatic it came with, it seriously might be one of the worst transmissions ever put into a car.

how are you gonna route the pipes?

both dp and pre-turbo pipe from the rear bank are gonna be under the oil pan? or you have some else in mind?

i've been wanting v6 8g for some time now, wanna go the same exact route as your most recent.

looks good so far

[M-Rod]

Correct, they'll both route under the oil pan where the factory y-pipe fits. The rest of the piping will be a very short and efficient route. Something never done before on the 8G V6, thanks to the turbo placement that has been determined for this project.

Love your build man keep it up

[M-Rod]

Thanks man.

Another part arrived today. Forge BOV. Gotta keep the ball rollin'!

[M-Rod]

Also picked up a new set of wheels. Finally something I can fit over the Brembos without a spacer since I'm not exactly fond of making 400+whp while using some cheap spacers.

[mko]

what brand? xxr or rota?

[oakrdrs187]

Either that (400whp) or 120mph+ in the straights.

[M-Rod]

what brand? xxr or rota?

MB Weapon 17x8 +28

Either that (400whp) or 120mph+ in the straights.

Yeah, 135mph on my old setup wasn't exactly the most intelligent thing I've managed to do on the track the past couple years.

[Galantman03]

Well you're on a track so I guess it is pretty intelligent

[6G72gearhead]

What size tire are you looking at running?

[M-Rod]

I'll stick with my current sizeof 245/40/17. Although, I may throw 255/40/17's up front.

[8thLS6]

Nice going on both the bov and wheels. I never had to use em but the thought of me ever needing spacers would make me nervous.

[6G72gearhead]

255/40's all the way around man! You won't be disappointed! Mild roll in the rear and you should be golden!

[Palmz]

Looks like u can barely fit ure finger between the brembos and the wheel :D
