Where did you get the oil pan? I over tightened one of the new spacer bolts and snapped it and have been leaking oil like crazy

One of the local Z folks had one in a box of part out items. Gave it to me for 10.00.

Well here it is. Definitely need an alignment after the turbo goes in. :driving:

I see someone on here from 2015 ran a 325/ on a sport ray and he said that it felt firm and performed very well?... I know thats certainly over max but what do you think with maybe 275F / 325R RE11 on a 19" sport ray?

The sidewall on the 325 gave those guys hell going on so I'm not sure I'd chance it. The 285 front went on like a normal install though. The 275f with RE11's is a no go. The RE11 only comes in a 275/30 ( Which I have a brand new set sitting in my garage waiting on these bastards to refund my money. ) there would be a 1.1" difference in height which stands a good chance of making the traction control have brain cramps.

I went ahead and ordered 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 RE-11 rom tirerack, they seemed to be in stock and comparatively priced. Experience is great so far, they called once to confirm tire size as they are " fairly wide" tires and another call to confirm shipping address. Ill see them tomorrow. Thanks for yoru input on it man.

Also on the oem gauge, its basically a computer, two pulse wires into a "motherboard" that runs all three gauges.. I guess until ecutek can hijack something else to display vct, traction, ethanol, etc, I will just colder longer wires into it and move the plug into the glove box and keep my oem gauge handy under the passenger seat...

How is your build coming along?

Big box arrived at the shop, those guys are at the beach and the shop next door signed for it. Kinda scary because yesterday apparently UPS tried to deliver to the wrong address. I know they screwed it up because everything else from Sasha made it to the shop. Waiting on my bud to text back. I'm gonna be Angry Blackman if there's shenanigans. Tire Rack delivered my 285 fronts on Monday and I ordered Friday afternoon so they are very fast. Right now I'm looking at Front Control Arms. After looking at my 305 takeoffs I need an alignment like I need air. I'll do all that on the lift and I guess my test drive will be to get aligned.

Got started today. Ran into a snag with the Intercooler. There's about a 1.5 inch gap between the crash bar mount point and where the intercooler mount can actually meet. I'm thinking of getting some aluminum square tube and longer mount bolts but concerned that the charge pipes will then be 1.5 inches short. Help a BP brother out.

Just elongate the holes to the outer side with a heavy duty drill bit

No this is not that. Theres 1.5 inches between the bracket when mounted and where the mounts on the intercooler should make contact. In other words if I mount the brackets to the IC and then tried to bolt it to the crash bar placement its almost 2 inches short of contact.

Can you please send me a picture or twould.

Had to resize phone pics so you can see what I'm dealing with here. Again my thought is to add a 1.5 to 2in square bar of aluminum to each mount and get extended screws. Outside of having a new mount welded to the IC which I really don't want to be caught up in tomorrow that's all I can think of. Looks like the ears on the IC should've been towards the rear and not in the center of the ends.

That's how mine mounted up....

Other than this , I was able to take everything apart today, installed SPC X axis front control arms, and rear control arms. Mounted the Mishimoto Radiator, then completed all the steps up to the fuel system which I start tomorrow morning by blending that with the install of the S1 Fuel return.

I took a ton of pictures during install of you have any questions
