Not to go to far OT, but my ACT street disk has held up for over 15k miles w/o any issues and this includes some aggressive street driving and some trips to the track.

 

Just came back from Turbo Trix in edison and here is what Mike said is good for my stock 05 MR.

Turboxs 3" downpipe
Turboxs 3" cat-back exhaust
Turbotrix 3" test pipe
Cone style air filter & bracket
Hallman mbc
Evo-flash dyno tuning
Competition cams 280/280 cams
Walboro 255hp fuel pump
Aem ems installed and tuned w/5 bar map sensor
Custome intake with k&n air filter
Turboxs front mount intercooler
Smc enterprises alky injection kit ( 1 gallon trunk mounted kit)
Install alky kit to aem ems (safety feature) with relay
Aem boost control selonoid
Act heavy duty clutch kit
Redline mtl syntetic trans fluid

Mike said with this setup i will be good for 380-410 all wheel horsepower.

What do you guys think of this setup?
is there items missing?
is this the correct thing to do?

labor & material---- $ 8068.50


FEEDBACK PLEASE

What I put in bold print is repetitive

 

Yeah wtf is that? I read thru and when I was done, I said to myself "wait..." re-read it and yeah, definitely 2 intakes and 2 boost controllers on there.

 

bend over

I think if you have some time on your hands tackling this stuff by yourself would be worth the time & money. Evom has some great DIY install info, and installing basic bolt-ons isn't rocket science.

 

I totally agree with this statement. I try to tackle as many things as I can do by myself comfortably.....but if I'm not sure about an install, I'll gladly pay a competent shop to do it.

 

Yeah to the person asking about the mod list, just make up your mind and pick whatever intake to go with, pick a boost controller, and the biggest decision would be choosing between an AEM EMS standalone ECU or a plain ol Flash....

 

Power estimates seem about 100hp too low if you are going to be running meth injection w/ standalone as well.

 

I know there are alot of great shops out there, but I have no expierence with them, so no disrespect to anyone. BUT, I have done my complete build with TTrix. If you were there yesterday, you probably saw my car as it is there now for part 3 of the build. As far as listing items twice, I'm sure it was just a mistake or typo with no intent to take advantage of anyone. That place gets pretty crazy sometimes. I have done my car in three steps ( so far) with TTrix and I couldn't be more pleased. When I first started, I tried to go it alone and I began with the Vishnu setup. Then I had a local shop do a few a mods and Exedy twin plate carbon clutch which only lasted 900 miles ( faulty Install??? ) Then I realized that it all needed to be tuned to work properly, so that meant a third shop. I just bit the bullet and decided before I waste any more money, I'm going to go to a full service shop that can advise, install and tune. I went to TTrix and I have been very pleased ever since. They built the car with the BB50trim and all supporting mods. It is very strong and reliable. Now I am having the tranny done and a few other goodies. Did I pay a high price? I dont really know as I have never compared. The reason I haven't compared is that I firmly believe that I got an extremly good value for my dollar. I believe that there is no such thing as good and cheap....it is either GOOD or CHEAP. Everything i have ever done in my life that has been cheap, I have had to do over again. I built my car, with their advice over 3 years. Every winter she goes down for a few more things. IMO the main thing is to not waste money. In my case I bought things that are now sitting in my cellar. Go to them, or whomever you choose, tell them your plans, goals and budget and work toward it without spending on things you dont need. IMO if your going to trust someone to work on your car, you should be able to trust them with your budget also. Personally, I send TTrix money all year long and build up a credit there, then it is not so big of a bill when the car goes in. They have always been very honest and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend them!!!!

 

yes i was there yesterday but did not see your car, i did see some sick looking evo's there also that huge *** rotti with his ***** next to him.

 

it really sounds like you highly recomend this place, dont get me wrong i will 100% give them my car but im basically asking the guys here if there is somthing else they recomend, are there items missing that will make the car more reliable, also what gauages are necessary? I read that an oil pressure guage is amust.

you guys are great
