needs more ghey

Thats awesome Khoi, Im really looking forward to the finished build. If AAM does sponosor a local Z my god someone from here take them up on that. It will be a supreme build.

Honestly a good TT build can cost 15k plus. AAM can charge a premium just because they are AAM. They do good work and fabrication and are known for it. Good reputation costs money. Peace of mind in a shop isnt cheap. :tup:

I am doing alot of the supporting mods to make sure my build IS reliable to track once in a while and daily drive some times. I am not a baller so I dont have cash to just blow on a broken car constantly also I love my 370 and dont want to damage it so reliablity is TOP priority for me.

Yup that's my plan too.

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah I am pretty excited to move forward with the kit!

That's what I'm here for.

I dont blame you guys for wanting something faster from factory. Its just personal taste. I could buy an R8 and still want to toy with it. Just a hobby I suppose. or im just sick in the head and like to live on the edge and risk breaking thousands of dollars :D

:excited:

GT-Rs for everyone!

Don't get me wrong, I like toying with stuff too. No car I own will ever be left alone. But I also just try to be a little realistic about it too. It was just never worth it (to me) to try and get more power out of the Z34 platform via FI.

Yeah I would mod any car I get, just probably not go crazy with an FI kit.

I would potentially FI, I'd just do it on a platform that I felt was good for it.

must make random post in here now to keep up with potential trolling.

when you double the power of a car and don't upgrade other parts to go along with it, it essentially becomes an unsafe straight line car lol..

I have this conversation with a lot of customers, but everyone loves to go fast in a straight line, it's a measurable way of saying hey my car is cooler than yours, or the internet version, hey my d!ck is bigger than yours. Take your car, do some stuff to it, but go to a road course, learn to drive your car, learn to take it to it's limits

But hey if you want to go fast in a straight line, to each their own, but for those 8-14 seconds, you risk breaking a hell of a lot of stuff haha

This.

So true.

I cant stand straight liners. Im tired of seeing stupid high HP/TQ cars that cant do anything because they spin 1-3 gears. I mean its cool to push those limits in a street car I just dont find it too fun. I have two friends that have a 1000whp supra and a soon to be 1700whp+ TT Viper and they cant drive it other than in the summer and must be super careful on the throttle and cant race unless rolling from 60-70mph on slicks. whatever happened to the drivers car? :ugh2:

Different strokes for different folks. :)

For those 8-14 seconds, you're free :icon17:

Yeah this is pretty much what I'm doing now. Got bored of straight line drag racing and now I'm doing road courses to improve my driving skills. I'll be doing the same for whatever car I get next.

hey cody, you know after reading these posts, I thought, why not FI the honda s2000? you ever work on a honda?

I don't think it's worth it. :rofl2:

Never have but Hondas are easy and cheap to do. They are also catalog cars meaning everything is pretty cut and dry and could piece together a good build with very little effort. I would need to research it and do some reading but I have a few friends that are Honda nuts. I even know a guy with a 800whp s2k :driving:

I think it is, I could see myself having this car for a good 7 to 10 years, easily.

800whp at 8k rpm. At 6k... 100whp. :bowrofl:

Meh. If you really want to turbo it, look at PTuning's kit. They actually have a really nice one that maintains a decent power curve. ~450whp and ~250lb-ft, but it's a fairly flat torque curve above 3k or so.

The trouble is, if you want to make real power, the car is just so peaky. I'd much rather drop an LS series engine in there and figure out how to correct the balance.

haha its not that absurd. Ill have to find the dyno sheet on facebook.

I was being facetious... partially. Red__Zed's 698whp graph is pretty funny.

But you don't even drive fast, why spend all that money to go FI?

Well, the kit would look great in his living room. :stirthepot:

doing it or dedicating the two years to learning?

I would be okay with an LS swap....really okay.


I found a guy local to me selling an Audi 4.2fsi+ecu+harness+AWD tranny for 12k with 35k miles. If it would fit nicely that would make a disgusting s2k. chances are it would be a nightmare. Ill loook into the boosted s2k subject though. It would be a fun car to have.

I say lets do something..

I drive faster than you troll.. you and your 45mph in "your" lambo...:facepalm:

we could work something out, and actually during the carlisle event, we could talk about it there.

I'm telling you Dee... look up PTuning and Inlinepro. They are local (NOVA) and have the S2K figured out.

I'll check it out, but honestly, I'd rather have me cody and pat work on a project..

A kit would be reliable for the most part and probably have thekinks worked out. maybe get an email for price of the kit and we can install for you.

:facepalm:

I'll look into it..

No offense to those guys, but PTuning has put a lot of R&D into their kit. It seems more practical to me to just have them install and tune should you go with their kit.

InlinePro has more DIY friendly kits, though.

Steve tried to keep up with me when leaving GB, but then gave up :icon17:
and he had to go the other way on 50
