@biggame Are you running on stock internals, and crappy 91 Cali gas? Lol fellow Cali resident here

 

Can't wait!

Thanks brother! I need to make some more videos. Dyno will be coming for sure. But more importantly 1/4 & 1/8 mile times

Yes, stock internals. Could only wish Cali had 93. Been mixing e30/91 in the past. For now we will be trying different formulas to get that perfect mix for this set up

 

Some install pics...Thanks to my friends @poweredbyrpm. Coming out insane as usual

Teardown~




Ran wires through storage box for water bottle~



Water bottle and pump mounted~




Ran wires and water hose with factory harness through RT side~

 

Continued~



Decided to cut the storage lid for custom look + Helps keep the water bottle secure~




After~



Cut the foam around the pump~



All done with the trunk~

 

Wanted to have the Water / Methanol controller accessible but put away. Along with the led light. Decided to mount them in the glove box. Extremely happy how this worked out

 

Finally, last but not least installed the injectors, and the new c38r

Here is a pic of the new c38r



You can see where Rotrex modified it for added clearance around the strut tower



Engine teardown



Removed the old c38-91 and piping



AEM Methanol injectors, mounted and ready to install. Used a silicone RTV to help the seal



Testing the injectors


Decided to add silicone tape for added protection




Installation complete

 

Upgraded the Earthx battery to the more powerful Ext1600

 

 

What does that fella weigh IRL?

My Antigravity Group-51R in the IS F has a claimed weight of 8.5 pounds, but measured in at 9.24. I'll take that for $300 less than the Earthx.

 

I didn't personally weigh this one. Their web page says 8.9 lbs. Probably not the cheapest option out there, but I've been happy with them so far

 

Well, with over 650+ whp decided to upgrade the stopping power. As most of you know we previously upgraded to the RR Racing two piece rotors. At that time could not figure out what
pads to go with. After doing someresearch and listening to other on this site, decided to go with Endless. Should be installing these in the near future. Can't wait to see how the do

 

Well, at almost 13k miles the brake light came on. I figured the time was near, and was already researching the best option for my application. With the purchase of RR Racing rotors previously
I couldn't wait to match them up to something with a bit more bite! In comes Endless...









OEM front pads



Endless front pads / OEM pads



Endless rear pads / OEM rear



OEM "OVER PRICED" sensor lol



Brake wear sensor OEM LT new / RT old worn



Brake pad wear sensor old vs new

 

How are you liking the new pads? Substantial difference over stock? I'm going to have to replace my pads in the next couple of thousand miles I think...

 

I thought I had a couple thousand miles too? Then all of a sudden the brake light came on @ 13k Ended up needing fronts, rear had 5-6mm left

I have not done substantial driving with these pads yet. For what I have done I have to say it really depends on your driving. If your not tracking, drag racing then the stock pads
will be fine. When the pads are cold the stopping power is not that great. But when heated , It's a different ball game. Also, they are quiet and dust free which I really like

 

After a couple high MPH runs thought it was time to install hood pins!!

This is how I did it

Before!



I went with Quick-Latch. I liked the low profile, clean design



What comes in your package



Tear down! To do the install correctly you have to remove the bumper, headlamps



Test fitting the pins for length



Used a 2-1/4 whole saw to cut the bottom of the hood




After cut



After the hole in the bottom of the hood, I used tooth paste on the pin to mark the exact location to cut the top portion of the hood from underneath. Yea, tooth paste...lol
Then I used a 1/4" drill bit to drill from bottom to top. Once the hole was through the top portion, used a step drill carefully to make it larger.
Not shown! I used blue tape to help protect carbon while cutting



Ended up using a tube I found wrapping it with 150 grit sand paper to smoothen out the cut surface



After!



Close up, ready to test fit the quick release



Installed the quick release. (Not tightened down) Perfect fit!



underside view



Stuffed paper towel in hole & rattle canned the cut section black. Underneath hood



After



Picture of the hood pin after reassembly. Decided to touch paint brush the pins black. Looks better in person



Final product! Absolutely no more movement from the hood at high speed
