  • thanks everyone. im trying to get some of the body work done here pretty soon. one of my friends is a painter so im trying to get him to spray it with a flat automotive black w/ uv protection instead of this rattle can crap. but i have a lot of rust repair to do first.
    Whats the MPG now?

    hmmm, idk. but its pretty fast.
    my o2 is reading stock style fuel trims, in cruse, open loop. so im assuming if i keep my foot out of it (i dont) id be getting around stock z6 millage
  • love it! pretty much what i want to do with my wagon. slowly but surely lol. How much are you boosting with what hp/tq?
  • i have a neptune rtp, so i run per gear boost. 1 bar in 1st and 2nd and 20 psi 3rd-5th. as far as hp/tq i havent dyno'd it yet. our local dyno is busted right now so i dont know when ill have those numbers. tryin to lite a fire under someone over there so we'll see

    Looks bad-ass "flat black?" from the front, just saying.
  • shenrieshenrie Council Member
    Looks badass and your fab work is amazing.

    Any reason why you didnt do a bellmouth for that turbo when fabbing the dp? Was just curious, cause its obvious you have the talent to do so.

    thanks, the whole car is actually flat black but i got a bad can of paint that was a lil more "flat" than the rest, when i did the hood and fenders. sucks but im redoing the body work then getting a good paint job :)

    thanks but, there is no wastegate in the turbo. its meant for external gate only. the turbo has a 2.5" round 4-bolt outlet for the exhaust so there is no need for a bellmouth or place to put one
  • shenrieshenrie Council Member
    Duhhh, sorry. noticed the external wg later in the pix. first mani pic I sw didnt have it mounted yet.

  • xkenxxkenx Wagonist
    Saw the car in person it looks good and had to explain to some people why it has a d series compared to a b or k series.
  • oxymoron691oxymoron691 Band Wagon
    couple recent pics from our spring meet. with some new do-dads added on the car, proper intake w/ aem brute force filter, oil cooler kit, vented valve cover. still working on getting a set of 850cc injectors and making a swirl-pot w/ secondary fuel pump. that and a couple suspension tweaks and ill be good to go for the next local track day :) i cant wait, and there will be vids and dyno slips soon. just went to an open house at a dsm shop w/ a 4wd dyno so we'll see if i can get down there asap and try to make some more power.

    i like how u ran your charge pipes thinkin im gunna have to either re-locate or get a smaller battery to mount lower and out of the way.
  • oxymoron691oxymoron691 Band Wagon
    i relocated mine to the spare tire well, now just to figure out a spare tire situation lol
  • xkenxxkenx Wagonist
    sweet my awesome asianess made it into the first picture.
  • oxymoron691oxymoron691 Band Wagon
    just got some new goodies all welded and installed. i was having fuel starvation issues under hard cornering, so we made a surge tank with an additional walbro 255 inline pump. also had to relocate the catch can, so i made a nicer one with a bigger filter.

    surge tank, fuel pump and filter all lined up
