Nice solid build. In for results.

 

Where did you get the velocity stacks from?

 

velocity stacks from Amazon and the Filters are from SBFilters

 

There’s the motor all tore down ready for the upgrades

 

I'm really digging this build thread. Thank you for keeping us updated.
I'm also stoked to find out the results of these particular mods since Seb is my tuner as well. I was mulling doing the 3 inch intakes and perhaps a flex fuel kit to see if there was a little more to enjoy from an N/A build.
My main concern is I don't want to sacrifice low end torque for top end hp. Porting and larger intakes moves the power to the right in the rpm range ,IIRC, creating a narrower power band. However, Moncef from Admin tuning claims that his 3inch intakes gain power all thru the rpm range. That would be great! I'm just a daily driver, not much for drag racing (yet).

 

If there is enough room in the budget Seb will be tuning the car for Corn Power. that should give me another 10whp
thats why I went with 4.08 gears more TQ to the ground..
I’m hoping 350-355whp when it’s all done.

 

Are those the filters that came with the RZG intake? They look different than their website. Trying to figure out how big of a filter you can put on there without having to modify the crash bar. Then I would get the correct size velocity stack.

 

They are not... I bought the filters from SBFilters... I don’t have a front crash bar so I have plenty of room for velocity stacks
6 inch velocity stacks I had with the Stillen Gen 3

 

I just got my car tuned by Moncef and here's a before & after.

Base run I had
3.69 fd
Fi 2.25" HFC
Fi 2.25 exhaust

After
Replaced HFC with test pipes
Admin 3" intakes
Admin 93 tune

Don't focus on the max hp number. Focus on the before & after gains.

No torque readings due to rpm signal issues at high rpm.

 

That’s why I’m hoping there’s money in the budget to go E85 more power..
91 octane is what’s holding me back . I upped my budget hoping it’s enough
I’m going to buy some track rims and tires and run the car later this year..
only problem is Track elevation: 1961.9 ft.

 

Damn, no crash bar lol. So if I kept the filters that came with it do you know what size velocity stacks I would need? Thanks for the help. Can't wait to see when this beast is done.

 

Is it only the crash that limits the space for a larger filter with velocity stacks or are there other factors too like the grill and bumper? I want to upgrade my filters also.

 

Awesome!
I am pretty sure you have to get gtr injectors to run corn. I saw a Specialty Z ad earlier this year for their flex kit that said so. The stock mafs may run out of range as well with 3 inch intakes but I'm not totally sure about that. Seb will know. I'm going to have to sh@%# or get off the pot on this soon.
There will be more power there for sure on corn. I have 2 tunes- 91 and 93. I always run 93. It' just runs better, feels a bit faster.

 

The maf will be fine. The larger intakes slow down air velocity which actually keeps you from having the upgrade. Maf max out off velocity not necessarily volume of air

 

May have to wait for the corn till end of year..even upping my budget Seb doesn’t think there will be enough to tune and install everything for E85..after pulling the engine he says he now has to pull the transmission and the engine off the crossmember and pull the secondary oil pan to replace the oil pump..
