Saywh3n_'s not-a-build thread

[thatguyinms]

Long time lurker and I've read quite a bit but its always helpful to have other's input on my build.

So its tax return time and since I'm approaching 100k miles, I know my k04 will let go any time. I'm looking at ensuring I have the appropriate pieces on-hand to go meth/BT and I wanted to see what else could be missing.

::Flamesuit on::


Current mods:

HTP 3.5" intake
3BAR MAP sensor with pigtail
ETS TMIC
Damond EGR delete
CS HPFP internals
UR Catless dp
UR Testpipe
Corksport axleback
Damond mounts (all 3)
catchcan

Parts list to buy:
EBCS
BPV/BOV
BNR S4
Meth kit

...what else






realized I posted in GD not Builds... fml.

I'm confused. Your parts list says COBB HPFP, but your sig says Corksport HPFP.

It’s CorkSport. Reading is hard.

I'm in the same situation, only with fewer mods....

should get a fat tax return this year and am very near 100,000 miles and planning on getting a larger turbo

Apparently writing is hard. I'll let it slide though if you blame autocorrect.

I blame public education and failing memory.

Maybe missing a FMIC to handle the BT flow ?

If you want to add fuel with your meth kit (not just rising octane) either get a sophisticated one or something solid with less chances of problems with filters and anl fitting...

based on my research, the ETC TMIC will flow plenty for stock block power. I dont' want to cut/replace the crashbar to fit a TR8 or larger FMIC and I don't want the radiator inhibited due to Florida heat/humidity.

As for heatsoaking the TMIC, I just put on the CS scoop and looking for meth kits.


I anticipate riding this til it A) vents the block, B) >250k miles, or C) life demands I need different daily. If it vents, then I'll get a built block, swap parts over, up the boost, and take some people to Gapplebees for dinner.

That was the reason i used...''maybe'' in front of it. In case one would like to max out the bt setup, that part could be a limit.

W/M help for not venting the bloc, even if you heat soak the tmic in traffic, you will cool the charge and raise octane if you floor it out....
The big problem is to have easy room to grow, it is like dating a sex addict girl and looking to wait untill being married....
There is some speed with high mileage on stock engine that still run fine but I don't think there is much BT setup installed at 90k miles that lasted until 250k....i could be wrong.....
