Ok update for you guys!

Ordered the 928 motorsports impeller
Ordered a Defi boost guage in red
Intake charge pipe is being powdercoated gloss black
Xpel is fixing a couple things on my clear bra
And next week the car gets dropped off at Jms racing for installation!

Now i talked with them and the parts and installation to convert to e85 will cost another 800-1000 and i dont have that kind of money right now. Cuz i need money for new tires and zcon spending money in august! Plua ill need to upgrade my clutch in a few months.. I have a really big event at the end of the month called nismofiesta for any of you texans or southern states u should come to this 3 day event! Its awesome and tons of fun. Hopefully my car will be done for then.

Tomorrow is the big day! Ill be getting her on the dyno at 6!

LukasC 04-17-2014 11:35 AM

Got the car back today!
Decided not to put the gauges in where i was originally so have to order a few parts. They couldnt fit the walboro 485 in there because it needs a return fuel system and he is gonna do a dual pump for me with a 255! Car needs a bpv cuz it cant hold the boost that its making. So ill be getting a bpv installed eventually. Clutch seems to be holding up decently but really i need to get a new one asap. Now on to the fun stuff!



Car made 434.66whp and 329wtq on 8.71 pounds of boost!!
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/17/aqudezeq.jpg

Feels absolutely fantastic!! It pulls so freaking hard! Love it! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/17/apy5apug.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/17/ydu7y8en.jpg

They need to make spacers for the engine brace to fit and they will have that done this next week.

Im pretty happy with it so far and ive given a couple rides and they really enjoyed it! Got a lot of props on the way home too! Hopefully ill have some videos and stuff soon! Jms did a really good job!

Build is looking good, I am curious to see how the stillen SC responds to e85.
Been looking at making the jump later this year with my GTM SC kit, more so to boost the TQ up a good bit and e85 is fairly available where I am thankfully.

Thank you! Im pretty curious about e85 with it too i think its worth a shot to try it. I have a couple ideas with the kit before i make the jump but im hoping to make the switch by end of summer. I need to upgrade the fuel rails get a return system and i want to upgrade the intercooler new blow off valve my shop recommended tial bov with a supercharger spring and i need a guage cluster. So thats about 1500 in stuff add another few hundred for pulleys since itll need a retune might as well make use of it. Plus i need to save up for zcon!! Long trip from here to there. My tuner is a miracle worker with e85. He does the switch a lot and always shows great results. He got 30whp on top of full bolt on 370 NA a few months ago just switching to e85.

That is what I thought, saw the red piping and figured it was that car.
Yeah, that kit was barely ever ran so you got a basically new kit.

Yeah he only had it for maybe a 1000 miles or so. I thought i got a good deal on it so totally worth driving to houston for it. The only part of it i kept the same as he had it is the red on the manifold
