Default Some proper pics of my rebuild
I finally got off my lazy *** to share some proper pics of my rebuild of the GS, although its been done since like October

Most of the work done by FREED Engineering in Maryland, my boys Ben and Billy are awesome at what they do.

Bye bye twin turbo 1UZ, hello 2JZGTE, Precision 6766, AEM flex fuel set up, running E85, 6 speed, blah, blah, blah..... 769rwhp

Platinum VIP makes some great cup kits. Might want to look into it!

Wow. Very nice. Bet that thing pins you when you give it a go.

Curious, what kind of gas mileage you getting on E85?

I had a 430whp 06' Mitsubishi Evo MR 6 speed running E85 and I averaged 12-13 mpg.

Thats exactly what I was looking at. I almost pulled the trigger on it a few months ago, ended up buying a couple of sets of wheels for the LS instead

I never bothered to pay attention, I know it sucks though. I dont drive the car a lot, but it seems like I go through it pretty damn fast

Yeah, ethanol burns hotter and faster than oil based gas. Cheaper at the pump per gallon though but it goes quick.

I used to love the smell of the E85 exhaust. Almost vodka like.

How's it going Dave? Night and day man, this set up is 110% better for sure. As much as I did with the old set up, I felt like I was always trying to make it perfect. I guess thats the difference between having a drive train that belongs together vs one that is pieced together. Even though it was pieced together the "right" way, its still pieced together and it limits your choices of parts.

This set up is dead on right, nothing else to chase, now I will get bored!
