Can confirm Corsa Xtreme + headers = loud. Just got mine installed: [ame]

So I got the compressor out, all the lines out. That stuff is all super easy and obvious. I don't think anyone needs much guidance there. Basically: Compressor Removal 1. You need 13mm and 10mm ratcheting wrenches. 2. Start at the compressor and unbolt the two lines going into it and pull out...

That's a great tire for the money. If he's looking to keep to a more street tire, the Micheling Pilot Super Sport will grip a LOT better than the factory Pirelli and the cost is similar.

Yep will document what I can. Yea for sure that's close down the road once I get to the interior gutting, caging, race seats, etc... Talking to some guys from fat house fab in another thread about kirkey seat brackets for the s550 now. Apparently few weeks before they're ready to ship!

Superchargers as a general rule of thumb have much more linear power as they build boost with RPMs. Here's another member's photo of a whipple dyno run: https://ibb.co/iJF1aG See how smooth and linear the horsepower is and how much flat torque that coyote + sc makes from down low to up high...

Cool. I should be able to weld em in place with my tig. I just can't do all the fancy bending and fabricating you do... yet! :)

Thanks! Please do add me to the list :). Def excited to get something I don't have to fab myself and I'll make sure to review after. Any thoughts about tacking the bolts down in place for actual road course use? Or would that be totally unnecessary? Prior experience is all weld-in, but AFAIK...

Trying to figure all that out myself. I'm thinking I can plug up the firewall pretty well, but as far as anything behind it I'm gonna be gutting interior when roll cage is ready along with seats. Other than that most the stuff is up front and easy to rip out.

What are your thoughts on the oil? I ended up switching to 10w40 Motul 300V Chrono after oil testing on a pretty low mile sample of Mobil 1 5w20 showed it was starting to get cooked by temps. I am watching the oil pressure to see it settle and get to temperature before getting on the car at all...

Yea my buddy's 89 fox body project has the 85mph speedo too, pretty funny I think it can do that in 2nd or 3rd gear, I forget. Not too worried about resale since this car is gonna wind up with a welded in cage and all kinds of other crap that's going to pretty much destroy any non-race car...

I'm very interested in these too. So funny was just pinging you guys on youtube about it. Any idea when the S550 brackets will come out and the price?

Yea that's what I'm thinking, gonna get the thing out of there while I got the motor mounts and all the other crap out of the way, easy removal :).

I dont daily the car. It’s destined to pretty much being a track toy once I cage it this summer. As is I rarely drive it anywhere except to mess around or test something.

Assuming everything else is the same (i.e. maintenance, fluids, etc...) my feel on these engines and a lot of other very boost capable modern V8s is that it seems like it's either the tune that's gonna kill it or an unlucky defect or failure (i.e. OPG, fuel pump, bap, etc...) assuming you're not...

Lol you guys... love it!

It's not my daily. Don't see the point in having the weight and clutter in the engine bay. I used it exactly 3 times last year when I decided to drive the car in traffic for some retarded reason. Really in retrospect I should have bought a body in white and then built it up. I kinda regret not...

Been having a hard time finding a kit online. Does anyone know of a good AC delete kit for 6g? Or does everyone that deletes AC just remove the belt and call it a day since its aseparate system?

Corsa cat backs are consistently low drone across all the cars I've tried em on. I would go that route if drone is the #1 concern, they're the king of low drone. If volume is a concern get the sport version, it's plenty loud and sounds a little more refined. Especially if you do headers or go...

LoL "must need more backpressure" is something honda kids decided when their 140ft-lb engine lost getup at under 6,000 rpm with a 4.5" pipe and a 6" fart can. Then they spread it around everywhere and people say it all the time now. They're confusing several phenomenon such as exhaust velocity...

Any reason instructions want every stud out? Seems to fit with front top studs in. Could prolly avoid dealing with the AC line there. Also two of the four O2 extenders make no sense they look like a 2011 part.
